About Henrico Area Mental Health and Developmental Services
Henrico Area Mental Health and Developmental Services is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility situated at 2010 Bremo Road in Henrico, Virginia, serving residents of Henrico County, Glen Allen, and the broader Richmond Region. Operated through Henrico County government, it functions as a public-sector option for individuals who need structured withdrawal management and ongoing addiction treatment close to home. For people facing a substance use crisis and seeking a medically supervised path forward, this is a county-backed resource with broad insurance access.
The facility provides two levels of care: medical detox and an outpatient program. Medical detox places the center in a clinical tier where withdrawal can be managed under supervision — a critical distinction for individuals whose physical dependence requires more than counseling alone. The outpatient program allows patients to continue structured treatment after detox without requiring residential placement, making it a logical step-down option for those transitioning out of withdrawal management.
Clinically, the center addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that substance use and mental health conditions frequently intersect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used, offering a structured, skills-focused framework for clients working through both addiction and underlying psychiatric concerns. Trauma and PTSD are also identified conditions treated, which reflects a program designed to address the full clinical picture rather than substance use in isolation.
Henrico Area Mental Health and Developmental Services serves men, women, pregnant women, court-ordered individuals, and people who are deaf or hard of hearing — a notably specific set of populations that signals deliberate program design rather than a one-size approach. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, self-pay, and financial assistance, reducing financial barriers for county residents who might otherwise go without care. The facility can be reached at (804) 727-8500.
