About LewisGale
LewisGale operates as part of HCA Virginia Health System in Salem, delivering substance use disorder treatment in an outpatient setting for adults across the Roanoke Valley. The program is structured around stepped levels of care that allow patients to engage in treatment while continuing to live at home, work, and maintain family responsibilities.
Core services include a standard outpatient program and a more structured intensive outpatient program (IOP) for patients who need additional hours of therapeutic contact each week. Care is built on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps patients identify the thought patterns that drive substance use and develop concrete strategies for handling cravings, triggers, and high-risk situations. Because the facility is embedded in a full-service medical system, patients with co-occurring mental health diagnoses can receive integrated psychiatric support.
LewisGale serves a wide demographic, including pregnant women, young adults aged 18 to 25, seniors, and patients who are deaf or hard of hearing. American Sign Language services are available so that communication barriers do not delay or compromise care. The program participates with Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and state-funded coverage, and accepts self-pay arrangements for patients without insurance benefits.
Accreditation by The Joint Commission reflects ongoing review of quality, safety, and clinical protocols across the HCA Virginia network. For patients in the Salem and Roanoke region seeking community-based substance use care anchored to a hospital system, LewisGale offers a continuum of outpatient services with on-site access to medical and behavioral specialists.
