Outpatient Services are provided to children and adolescents, and include individual, group and family therapy with a licensed therapist. Counseling is designed to be short-term, family-centered and focused on improving functioning.

Between outpatient and inpatient services is Colonial Behavioral Health's Intensive Outpatient Program. This program is designed to provide support and recovery assistance to individuals with severe substance use disorders through services which are more rigorous than traditional outpatient services, but less intensive than inpatient treatment.

Through the provision of behavioral health services, Colonial Behavioral Health’s vision is to make our communities healthier, safer places to live.

We provide services for mental health illnesses, intellectual disabilities and substance use disorders to individuals and families living in James City County, Poquoson, Williamsburg and York County.

The mission of Colonial Behavioral Health, the local Community Services Board, is to facilitate opportunities for recovery, resiliency and wellness to individuals and families affected by mental illness, intellectual disabilities and substance use disorders.
