About

About Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center

Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center is a behavioral health hospital located on First Colonial Road that has dedicated itself to serving adults across Virginia Beach and the broader Hampton Roads community. The center offers a continuum of care that ranges from acute inpatient psychiatric stabilization through partial hospitalization and outpatient day treatment, giving patients the ability to step down through progressively less intensive levels of care as recovery progresses.

The clinical model is multidisciplinary. Psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and creative-arts clinicians collaborate on each treatment plan, with particular programs built around intensive evaluation and rapid stabilization, emotional recovery skill-building, and dual-diagnosis care for adults whose chemical dependency overlaps with mental health symptoms. Drug and alcohol detoxification is delivered in a structured, medically supervised setting designed to make the withdrawal phase safer and more comfortable.

Day treatment programs at Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center allow adults who do not need around-the-clock care to receive intensive therapeutic support while continuing to live at home. Separate day-treatment tracks exist for chemical dependency and for mental health concerns, and creative therapies, including art, music, and expressive groups, are integrated alongside more traditional group and individual work.

The facility holds Joint Commission accreditation and accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, commercial plans, and self-pay arrangements, broadening access for veterans, working adults, seniors, and members of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Family resources, education, and discharge coordination help patients and their loved ones plan a sustainable next step after care.
