The center will help those battling addiction in Hampton Roads  VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – The path to sobriety is easier to navigate thanks to the efforts of Community Solutions and their new residential treatment program – Taheima Place.
A grand opening celebration for select guest, including media, will be held Feb. 8 at the Chesapeake location from 10 am to 4 pm. The program comes on the heels of some disturbing news. Fatal drug overdose has been the leading method of unnatural death in Virginia since 2013, according to the Virginia Department of Health. The 30- to 60-day residential substance abuse program offers a safe, comfortable and structured living environment for men and women seeking a drug and alcohol-free life for 10 residents at a time. The program is based on the tenets of the American Society of Addiction Medicine and is capable of addressing opiate and other substance addiction, alcohol treatment and co-occurring disorders requiring a combination of substance abuse treatment alongside mental health therapies. Clients with insurance, including Medicaid or Medicaid Expansion, have the opportunity to initiate their individual sobriety plan under the direction of trained Certified Substance Abuse Counselors and licensed counselors. The goal is for each resident to develop a realistic lifestyle plan that is implemented while onsite, and most importantly, when graduating from the program. Unique aspects of the program are the financial planning and literacy education, as well as building a supportive network of friends and family plus connecting to people and activities that enhance the chances of a sustained recovery. The program offers many individualized services and interventions including AA and NA group participation, individual and family therapy, nutritional and fitness sessions as well as cognitive behavioral group intervention. All this is done under medical supervision. Residents leave the program with connections to affordable housing as well as employment preparation and career counseling. There is also follow-up care for residents to stay connected, address relapse and offer ongoing support after graduating from the program. The center works with many organizations in the community to create success. Community partners include, but aren’t limited to, the Department of Aging & Rehabilitation Service; Eggleston Services; Job Corp; military recruiters and TowneBank. Community Solutions also works closely with Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, Tidewater Community College and the Virginia Tech Cooperative Extension. Community Solutions was founded in 2000 to help create a path to a solid future by coming alongside families to overcome barriers as well as set and achieve goals. The agency has recently revamped its services and is offering even more help to the community. Other services include, but aren’t limited to after school programs, educational and parental mentoring, substance abuse services and support for foster children aging out of the system.

I met one of your residents living in your facility today at the local grocery store. Mr. O’Leary was his name and he was quite a good looking fellow who had nothing but good things to say about your program. I have a loved one with substance abuse issues of their own whom is actually addicted to vanilla extract and I am absolutely referring them to your program seeing how well Sean was doing. He seemed to be so knowledgeable about the program I thought he might have been a staff member until he mentioned he used to be able to polish off a gallon of black velvet and shotgun 15 beers in a row. After so would drive to the local supermarket to feed his family of 7 beautiful daughters and 2 unkempt deranged boys. I will most definitely be stopping by again to see the lovely young man. He spoke very highly of a few of the consolers. He mentioned to me in breathe taking detail on the merits of a Rochelle whom works in the office and does her job with kindness and love. There was also a Miss Angie to whom I heard keeps it very real and also does not play any games in a very intelligent and compassionate manner. Heather who takes care of the financial aspects of the program works harder than anyone Sean has ever seen before and is as cute as a button. She loves birds. They also would seem to have a temporary there called Emmy. Sean’s face lit up as he talked about her and you could tell Emmy was a special and dear person. He told me he thought she actually cared more than all of the male consolers there combined. And would genuinely take the issues of the residents and work wholeheartedly to fix them. He also said something about an Eddie... I hope that anyone who is looking into this program can visit the lovely taheima place located on tidewater drive and meet the lovely staff and adorable resident Sean. If you have trouble finding the location feel free to call one of the staff members as they are sure to help. You absolutely can’t miss the building. It’s brick and white. I hope all of you continue your excellent effort to better the lives of people who have been touched by substance abuse.

Are there plans for expansion or replication of the residential substance abuse program in other locations to reach a larger population, and how would this contribute to the overall mission of reducing substance abuse in Virginia?
