Life Center of Hillsville is part of the Acadia Healthcare network and is located in the small population town of Hillsville, Virginia. The treatment facility is on 100 acres of land, which includes a 1-mile walking trail. The staff consists of a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, and counseling staff who will monitor progress and adjust patients’ individualized care plan if necessary. They offer individual, family, and
group therapy sessions, experiential activities like physical recreation, and incorporate different therapy approaches into treatment like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), 12-step meetings, motivational interviewing, and experiential art therapy.
Life Center of Hillsville offers residential and
partial hospitalization program (PHP) services. The services are ideal for adult men who are struggling with the use of substances like alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, and methamphetamine. For their residential program, the facility can provide care for individuals with co-occurring mental health concerns like bipolar disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They offer medication management for their residential services, but not for their PHP. The PHP consists of full-day programming multiple days a week and can include medication-assisted treatment (
MAT) for patients who are struggling with opioid addictions.
