Practical guides, local resources, and educational articles to help individuals, families, and referring providers in Newport News and Hampton Roads navigate mental health and addiction care.
Finding mental health support in Newport News, Virginia can feel overwhelming — especially when you're already struggling. This guide is designed to help Newport News residents and Hampton Roads families understand what outpatient mental health services are available, what to expect, and how to get started.
Outpatient mental health services allow you to receive professional clinical care while continuing to live at home, work, and manage daily responsibilities. Unlike inpatient or residential treatment, outpatient programs offer flexibility — from weekly individual therapy sessions to intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that meet multiple days per week for structured support.
Mental health conditions are more common than many people realize. In Virginia, an estimated 1 in 5 adults experiences a mental health condition each year. In Newport News and the Hampton Roads region, adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and grief regularly benefit from outpatient mental health care — as do children, adolescents, veterans, and couples.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, clinically intensive treatment multiple days per week — typically 3 to 5 days per week for 3 hours per day. IOP is recommended for individuals whose symptoms are moderate to severe but who do not require inpatient hospitalization. It is significantly more intensive than weekly therapy but allows clients to return home each day.

Addiction treatment doesn't always mean checking into a facility and stepping away from your life. For many people in Hampton Roads, outpatient addiction treatment is the most accessible, effective path to recovery — and it allows you to stay connected to your family, your job, and your community while getting the support you need.
Outpatient addiction treatment provides structured recovery support without requiring an inpatient stay. Programs range from weekly individual counseling to Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) that offer multiple sessions per week. The right level of care depends on the severity of the substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and your personal circumstances.
At Soar & Rest in Newport News, outpatient addiction recovery services include individual counseling, group therapy through the Foundations of Recovery program, substance use psychoeducation, relapse prevention planning, co-occurring mental health support, and referrals to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) providers when appropriate.
Outpatient addiction treatment is typically appropriate for individuals who are medically stable, have a support system at home, and do not require 24-hour supervision. It is also an excellent step-down option following inpatient or residential treatment.

Soar & Rest provides outpatient recovery support for alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, cannabis use disorder, and poly-substance use. We also provide dual diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions.
Dual diagnosis — also called co-occurring disorders — refers to the simultaneous presence of a mental health condition and a substance use disorder. Research consistently shows that treating both conditions together produces significantly better outcomes than treating them separately. If you or someone you love is dealing with both mental health and substance use challenges in Virginia, this guide is for you.
Dual diagnosis means a person has been diagnosed with both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time. Common examples include depression and alcohol use disorder, PTSD and opioid use disorder, anxiety and cannabis use disorder, or bipolar disorder and stimulant use. These conditions often fuel each other — making it essential that both are addressed together in an integrated treatment approach.
Dual diagnosis is more common than many people realize. Studies indicate that approximately half of individuals with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health condition. In Virginia, where both mental health challenges and substance use disorders are prevalent, integrated dual diagnosis treatment is an important and often underutilized level of care.
At Soar & Rest in Newport News, dual diagnosis treatment is integrated into our standard outpatient care model. Our clinicians are trained to assess for and address co-occurring disorders — meaning your treatment plan accounts for both your mental health and recovery needs simultaneously, not sequentially.
