About Intercept True North Health Clinic

Intercept True North Health Clinic in Roanoke, Virginia offers a full continuum of addiction treatment and recovery services — from medical detox through residential treatment, outpatient programs, and structured aftercare. Serving adolescents, men, and women across Virginia, the clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay.

Intercept True North Health Clinic sits at 5673 Airport Road in Roanoke, Virginia, operating as a dedicated substance use treatment center within Roanoke City. For individuals and families across Virginia who are weighing their long-term recovery options, the clinic offers a rare breadth of care under one roof — spanning the earliest stages of medical stabilization all the way through sustained outpatient support and continued aftercare. It is not a single-service facility; it is designed to walk alongside people through multiple phases of the recovery journey.

The clinic's levels of care reflect a genuine continuum. Medical detox gives individuals a medically supervised foundation before transitioning into longer-term programming. From there, residential treatment provides the structured, immersive environment that many people need early in recovery. For those stepping down or entering treatment at a less acute stage, an outpatient program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer flexible engagement with clinical services while allowing greater connection to daily life. That range — from detox to IOP — means a person's care plan can evolve without requiring a transfer to an entirely different provider.

Clinically, the team at True North integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. CBT is one of the most rigorously studied frameworks in addiction recovery, and its presence signals that the clinical approach is grounded in recognized therapeutic practice. The clinic also provides telehealth services, extending access to care for Virginia residents who face distance or scheduling barriers. Aftercare and continued care planning are built into the model — not treated as an afterthought once formal treatment ends.

True North serves adolescents, men, and women, making it one of the more inclusive recovery centers in the Roanoke area in terms of the populations it formally accepts. Leadership includes licensed professional counselors with specialty credentials in substance abuse treatment, alongside a Medical Director and a Director of Psychiatric Care and Substance Use Services — a clinical structure that reflects the facility's dual focus on addiction and mental health. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, removing common financial barriers for Virginia residents seeking rehab and recovery support.

A Continuum of Care Built for Long-Term Recovery

Recovery rarely follows a straight line, and a treatment center that can meet someone at multiple points along that path offers a meaningful advantage. Intercept True North Health Clinic structures its programming around exactly that idea. The facility's levels of care move from medical detox through residential treatment, then into an outpatient program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — giving individuals and their families a clear, connected path forward rather than a series of disconnected hand-offs between providers.

Aftercare and continued care planning are built into the clinic's model. For the Sober Nation community — people thinking beyond the first 30 days and into sustained recovery — that continuity matters. Knowing that your treatment provider has a structured approach to what comes after residential or IOP care reduces one of the most common points of vulnerability in early sobriety.

Clinical Team and Treatment Approach

The clinical team at True North includes licensed professional counselors credentialed specifically in substance abuse treatment (LSATP), a Medical Director, and a Director of Psychiatric Care and Substance Use Services — a staffing structure that reflects the facility's explicit focus on both addiction and mental health. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the therapeutic work, providing a structured framework for examining the thought patterns and behaviors that sustain substance use disorders.

The clinic's attention to co-occurring mental health conditions is worth noting for anyone whose substance use has been entangled with anxiety, depression, or other psychiatric challenges. Treating both simultaneously, rather than sequentially, is increasingly recognized as a more effective approach in addiction recovery — and True North's staffing and stated conditions treated reflect that orientation.

Who True North Serves and How to Access Care

Intercept True North Health Clinic formally serves adolescents, adult men, and adult women — a range that makes it one of the more broadly accessible substance use treatment centers in the Roanoke area. Services are available in English, and telehealth options mean that Virginia residents outside of Roanoke City can still engage with the clinic's programming without necessarily relocating.

On the financial side, the clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. That combination is particularly significant for veterans and active-duty military families covered by TRICARE, as well as for individuals and families relying on public insurance. The clinic operates Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and is located at 5673 Airport Road in Roanoke, Virginia 24012.

Outpatient and IOP Options for Flexible Recovery Support

Not every person in recovery needs or wants a residential program. For those who are stepping down from a higher level of care, or who are entering treatment while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities, True North's outpatient program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offer clinical engagement without requiring a residential stay. IOP in particular provides a structured frequency of sessions that bridges the gap between residential intensity and traditional weekly outpatient therapy.

For the recovery community evaluating sober living alongside outpatient treatment, an IOP at a facility that also offers CBT and continued care planning provides a coherent clinical foundation. The ability to access telehealth services further extends that flexibility, allowing ongoing participation in programming even as life circumstances shift.
