About Richmond Southside Treatment Center

Richmond Southside Treatment Center in Richmond, Virginia, is an outpatient opioid treatment program within New Season, a provider that has focused on opioid use disorder since 1986 and now runs more than 80 centers in 20 states. They treat addiction to heroin and prescription painkillers by pairing medication-assisted treatment with counseling, and they frame opioid addiction as a treatable disease. Care centers on outpatient MAT, with an intensive outpatient program for people who need more structure without stepping into residential care. They accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial insurance plans, and grants and self-pay are also options.

Medication options include methadone, buprenorphine, and Suboxone, chosen with a physician, and stable patients may qualify for take-home doses that cut down on daily clinic visits. Counseling is available in individual, group, and family formats, while the IOP meets three times a week for three hours over at least six weeks and covers wellness, recovery, and resiliency education, along with weekly family sessions and support for co-occurring mental health concerns. Once patients reach dose stability, they can use free telecounseling and telemedicine visits by video from a phone or computer. They also connect patients with practical help for housing, employment, food, transportation, insurance enrollment, phone service, and peer recovery support.
