Harbor Point Behavioral Health Center

Harbor Point Behavioral Health Center provides residential care for youth ages 11-17 facing emotional, behavioral, or psychiatric disorders. Located in Portsmouth, Virginia, programs are separated by gender and include specialized tracks for trauma, self-harm, and sexually reactive behavior. They accept TRICARE, Medicaid, and Medicare, and offer support for families of military personnel. Stays typically last 6 to 9 months, with a separate 90-day diagnostic track.
Treatment is guided by a trauma-informed approach using evidence-based therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing. Each child receives a personalized plan that includes individual, group, and family therapy. Recreation, expressive arts, and skill-building groups help youth heal, learn healthy coping skills, and build confidence for life beyond treatment.
Youth live in a structured setting with 24-hour nursing care, regular meals, and education tailored to their needs. The facility includes a full school, rock climbing wall, yoga and Zumba classes, and music and art programs. Outings like college tours and museum visits help build real-world experience. Families are involved throughout, and staff help youth plan for a safe, supported return home.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Harbor Point Behavioral Health Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
