About The Coleman Institute Richmond
The Coleman Institute’s Richmond center is in a quiet suburban corner of Richmond, Virginia. It’s now a defunct detox center that offered accredited care to adults aged 18 and older up until July 2024. You’d have found this center in central Virginia just 1.5 hours from Washington, D.C., and 1.5 hours from Virginia Beach. This center was just one of the organization’s many locations nationwide.
Coleman’s detox method is known for being quite unique, since unlike other detox centers, they do not use general anesthesia on their clients. Alternatively, they rely more heavily on FDA- approved medications to help individuals manage their more uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
For sustainable and long-term recovery, they would engage medication assisted treatment (MAT) using naltrexone alongside supportive case management to help clients after the withdrawal management phase. Naltrexone is a non-addictive opioid blocker favored by this facility, since it has fewer complications than the better-known methadone and buprenorphine. In fact, Coleman also offers detox programs for these well-known detoxing medications.
Detox here lasted as little as three days and was ideal for clients who didn’t want to, or simply could not afford to, spare longer while recovering. Flexible scheduling and less expensive treatment were also a huge benefit of this center. They also prioritized client comfort by prescribing what they called ‘comfort meds’. These were typically tailored to meet clients’ withdrawal symptoms and their severity to a T.
Individual and group therapy options were also provided here, as well as targeted services to support specific veteran populations, like homeless veterans. They also offered transitional support and care management for returning veterans.
