The three offices located in Fredericksburg, Tappahannock, and Culpeper to better serve area residents.

Unlike the constitutional guarantee for legal representation in criminal proceedings, domestic violence victims seeking protective orders, veterans looking to secure their benefits and poor families trying to stay housed do not have the same representation when going up against their abuser, the government or their landlord.

At Legal Aid Works®, we champion fairness for those with the least access to the civil justice system and do so across 17 of the most vulnerable counties in the state of Virginia.

AddictionResource

It’s difficult to find reliable information on addiction and rehabilitation on the internet, so we created a site that provides up-to-date, accurate, and evidence-based information related to addiction, substance abuse, mental health, and treatment.
The facilities chosen for our Top 10 lists are put through strict criteria during examination, which you can find on our “How We Choose” page. No facility can submit themselves or pay to be on a list.
Topics are selected based on research, which tells us what our audience may be looking for, which types of addiction individuals across the nation may be facing, and which types of treatment may be most helpful and effective.
Many rehab centers advertise “LGBTQ-friendly” but their programs may not be focused on the unique challenges faced by community individuals. It’s important to find a center that keeps those needs in mind while being a safe environment to receive treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. We’ve put together a list of the 9 Best LGBTQ+-Friendly Drug Rehabs in the U.S: https://www.addictionresource.net/best-drug-rehab-centers/lgbt/.
