About Master Center - Richmond Northside
At Master Center for Addiction Medicine - Richmond Northside, each client receives medical care led by an addiction specialist, counseling from experienced therapists, and guidance from a peer recovery coach. They offer ambulatory detox, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and an intensive outpatient program. With a hybrid model combining telehealth and in-person care, Master Center has helped over 10,000 clients access high-quality treatment on their path to recovery. They accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare, and offer self-pay options with potential discounts and payment plans.
Blend Virtual & In-Person Support
Master Center’s hybrid model combines the flexibility of virtual care with in-person visits, typically starting with a thorough on-site intake to help their team create a custom treatment plan for each client. Most programming is delivered virtually, but clients can see providers face-to-face more often if they prefer. No matter the format, Master Center offers consistent, compassionate care that feels like a warm hug—not a cold system.
Bring Therapy Lessons Into Real Life
In addition to supporting physical well-being through detox and MAT, clients in the intensive outpatient program (IOP) attend to emotional health through one-on-one and group therapy sessions to better understand the problems they are trying to overcome. The IOP blends education, therapy, and real-world application, helping clients build recovery skills they can begin using immediately in everyday life. Clients attend 3-hour group therapy sessions 4 times a week.
Be Well Prepared to Prevent Relapse
Master Center’s Sustained Recovery Program treats relapse as a process, not a single event. Clients learn to recognize early warning signs and practice prevention strategies for each stage. Through ongoing assessments, recovery coaching, social support services, and peer-based models, the program helps clients adjust their goals, strengthen relapse prevention skills, and stay engaged in long-term recovery with a focus on awareness, accountability, and support.
