Addiction Resources for Families in Front Royal and Warren County
Front Royal is the northernmost town in the Shenandoah Valley. It's also the closest to Washington, DC — about 70 miles away.
That proximity matters. Drug supply chains that serve the metro area don't stop at the county line. Families in Front Royal often live in two worlds: a small town with small-town resources, but a drug problem fueled by big-city networks. The pills, the fentanyl, the supply lines all come through. The local infrastructure to deal with the aftermath hasn't caught up.
What's Here and What Isn't
Front Royal has outpatient services through Northwestern Community Services Board and not much else. For clinical treatment beyond basic outpatient, families are driving to Winchester or further. For a full directory, visit SAMHSA's treatment locator.
Local resources:
Northwestern Community Services Board (Front Royal office)

The RSW Connection
Warren County shares a regional jail with Rappahannock and Shenandoah counties. RSW Regional Jail is where many families first encounter the criminal justice side of addiction. Someone gets arrested, and the family is suddenly asking questions they've never had to ask before.
The arrest is not the end. But without a long-term recovery plan, it's just a pause before the next one.
