Gender-Specific Programs for Personalized Support

Sobrius provides trauma-informed residential addiction treatment at two locations in Virginia: a men’s program in Galax and a women’s program in Bassett. Each site is designed to meet the emotional and psychological needs of its population. The men’s program emphasizes communication, accountability, and rebuilding self-worth, while the women’s program offers a safe space to process trauma, rebuild confidence, and explore family and social roles in recovery. Both programs help clients open up more freely, connect meaningfully with peers, and engage more fully in care.

A Cohort Model That Builds Connection

Sobrius uses a cohort model, where clients enter treatment together and progress through the 30-day program as a group. This structure builds trust, structure, and emotional momentum. Clients aren’t just attending group therapy, they’re also part of a peer community that grows together. This approach helps normalize shared struggles, reduce stigma, and create real, lasting support and connections among participants.

Life Skills That Support Long-Term Recovery

Programming includes extensive life skills training, such as journaling, time and money management, emotional regulation, problem-solving, job readiness, and relationship skills. These are core tools for rebuilding everyday life after addiction. Sobrius connects treatment to practical goals like employment, independence, and healthy relationships, helping clients apply recovery in real-world settings.

Comfortable, Residential Settings in Two Locations

Each campus is intentionally designed to feel safe, warm, and restorative. In Galax, men live in a residential setting surrounded by trees and walking trails, with shared bedrooms, a gym, and calming therapy spaces. The Bassett facility for women offers similar home-like amenities and privacy, with a focus on emotional safety and peer support. Both settings prioritize peace, comfort, and dignity in recovery.

Medication-Supported and Flexible

Sobrius welcomes clients already prescribed medications for addiction treatment. The program supports clients maintaining MAT regimens from external providers, allowing the flexibility for clients to access residential treatment without interrupting essential care.

What Patients Say

Patients often describe the Sobrius environment as peaceful and life-affirming. Reviews highlight staff members as compassionate and deeply respectful, helping clients feel seen and valued. Many note that the program’s structure gave them the tools and confidence to make real, lasting changes. A small number of reviewers expressed concerns about the facility’s handling of serious medical needs, but the overall feedback remains strongly positive—especially from those who fully engaged with the program’s offerings.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
