Therapy that empowers. Support that lasts.
Our Full-Time PHP and Part-Time IOP Outpatient programs are designed to support your journey toward healing and growth. Whether you need full-time structure or part-time flexibility, we’re here to help you thrive, not just survive.
After serving in the U.S. Navy, Michael faced challenges with mental health, substance use and stability. Seeking help led him to the Military Program at Poplar Springs Hospital, where he found structure, care and a community that truly understands military culture.
Through the Crisis Track, Michael gained tools to manage stress, stay consistent with medication, and focus on self-improvement. The veteran community there became a support system built on trust and respect.
Michael’s message to fellow service members and veterans:
“Reach out before it becomes a crisis. There is real strength in asking for help.”
Truth: Every journey is unique. Care can include therapy, lifestyle changes and more.

As we approach Veterans Day, Poplar Springs Hospital proudly stands with the men and women who’ve served our nation — especially those facing the challenges of homelessness and transition.
Did you know that across Virginia, veterans make up nearly 6% of the homeless population? Many struggle with mental health needs, post-traumatic stress, or barriers to affordable housing. At Poplar Springs Hospital, we’re committed to being part of the solution.
Today, our Director of Business Development, LeMar Taliaferro, partnered with the Petersburg Breakfast Rotary Club and hit the road to deliver essential supplies, ranging from fresh produce to food staples, to The Hope Center (http://spklr.io/6181Bz4uV), which supports veterans and the homeless in need. Every box loaded and every mile driven is a small way we can give back to those who gave so much.
To our veterans, thank you for your service, sacrifice and strength.
Poplar Springs Hospital remains dedicated to supporting your mental health, healing, and hope. Learn more by visiting http://spklr.io/6183Bz4uX
