A Mission For Michael (AMFM) offers mental health and dual diagnosis programming at varying levels of care, from intensive outpatient to residential inpatient treatment in Virginia. With over a decade of experience in providing compassionate and reliable care, AMFM is dedicated to providing comprehensive personalized treatment plans to help you or your loved one. AMFM’s residential treatment centers in Virginia offer evidence-based treatment programs tailored to your specific needs. Residential treatment programs offer supportive and safe environments for anyone struggling with their mental health.
AMFM’s Residential Mental Health Facilities in Virginia are developed to provide a higher level of care and treatment options for those struggling with mental health disorders and substance use disorders. Residential inpatient facilities offer a combination of group and individual therapies to help clients overcome their struggles in a safe environment. With mental health disorders and substance abuse, inpatient facilities can be useful, because they provide 24/7 access to health care on-site, and when necessary, stabilization and detoxification.
While AMFM offers both inpatient and outpatient treatment, residential treatment provides support services around-the-clock, with a more regular and immersive experience designed to foster behavioral growth and recovery. AMFM’s Virginia facilities are psychiatric residential treatment centers equipped to provide stable, safe environments for individuals with mental health conditions, substance use disorders,and/or co-occurring disorders. As dual-diagnosis facilities, these residential treatment centers provide holistic care to set clients up for success, from admissions to aftercare.
AMFM strives to help you or your loved one build reliable coping mechanisms, unlock a higher quality of life and to grow behavioral health tools, creating long-term recovery that lasts beyond your residential stay. Searching for a reliable residential treatment center can be emotional, overwhelming and confusing, with many options and directions. The AMFM team is trained to help you every step of the way, but especially in taking these first few scary steps: the initial intake through the admissions process.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
It’s estimated that more than one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness.1
AMFM has extensive experience treating mental health conditions and substance use disorders through dual diagnosis treatment and evidence-based therapies, including but not limited to the following:
Upon admittance to an AMFM residential facility, clients are treated with the utmost attention and respect, without shame or judgment.
While AMFM is a mental health treatment organization, these residential treatment facilities are trained and equipped to handle dual diagnosis, which refers to the “simultaneous presence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder in the same individual.”2
In some cases, partial hospitalization (PHP) may be required to help a client detox. Detoxification helps bring you or your loved one to a point of stabilization, and enables mental health treatment to be more effective. Clinicians at AMFM are available 24/7 to ensure safe stabilization and medication management through detox, as clients transition to their day-to-day mental health programming.
Medication management is important for clinicians to create a complete and accurate medication list, and to “help to identify patient behaviors that may be putting patients at risk for an adverse drug event, such as overdosing, underdosing, or missing medications, or other important contextual factors limiting adherence.”3 At AMFM, safety is crucial to providing effective dual diagnosis mental health programming.
Whether you or a loved one are struggling with alcohol addiction, opiate addiction, or any other substance use disorder, the AMFM team is trained with resources and personalized treatment plans per the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)4. With over a decade of experience focusing on people-centered recovery, AMFM keeps compassion and empathy at the forefront of your mental health journey.
CBT helps people struggling with their mental health to restructure and reprogram their maladaptive and negative thinking processes. The effectiveness of retraining cognitive and emotional processing is a life skill that lasts long beyond a residential stay.
DBT, or “talk therapy,” helps process emotions by talking through situations with a qualified individual, in order to move forward with healthier ways of navigating interpersonal relationships, minimizing physical and emotional stress.
In both inpatient and outpatient programs, group therapy is a primary form of therapy that allows people to feel less alone in their struggles, by relating to their peers. Groups can span a variety of focus-areas and backgrounds.
All of AMFM’s Virginia residential facilities are within a few hours of Richmond; in order to get to the facility nearest you, the team can guarantee drop-off and pick up (within a 4-hour radius), for ease of transition and accessibility. The Virginia residences are located in Fairfax Station, Great Falls, and Vienna, VA.
At the Virginia locations, in addition to the above offerings, the following programs are offered on a weekly basis: Yoga Therapy, Creative Writing, Life Skills, Reiki, Movement Therapy, and more. Family therapy is also offered once a week.
As leading mental health care providers, AMFM stays current with necessary accommodations for each person’s unique needs or disabilities. We want our clients to know that they are in safe, nurturing and supportive environments, built for their continued progress and behavioral growth.
AMFM’s residential treatment services in Virginia offer both gender-specific and gender-inclusive housing, depending upon your specific needs. The Virginia mental health treatment centers also have private chefs who can accommodate for dietary restrictions, as well. Growth can be uncomfortable enough, so we want to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
