Finding Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers in Arlington County, VA

Arlington County is home to numerous colleges including Marymount, George Mason Law School and satellite campuses for University of Virginia and Virginia Tech. Despite its proximity to the nation’s capital and median household income of $112,138, the county is not immune to the growing opioid epidemic.

As you begin the process of searching for the best treatment program for yourself or a loved one, there are a lot of factors to consider. You don’t need to travel out of state to get high quality treatment as there are great options locally in Maryland.

Determining what level of care is necessary can be extremely overwhelming. Talking to a knowledgeable treatment and mental health professional can help assess your needs, and guide you to resources that would be best for you.

What to Look for When Selecting a Treatment Center in Arlington

The Right Program: A detailed interview and assessment process with a clinical professional. Look for an organization that assesses physical and mental health, as well as qualifications for your loved one’s specific needs. Make sure the organization you’re considering has skilled experience with the the drawbacks your loved on is facing.

If the organization isn’t right for your substance abuse treatment, ask if they have referrals for a more appropriate fit.

Professional Team: Look for a licensed, experienced organization that focuses on a team-oriented approach, working together to support each client and their family. Find a team that includes individual and family therapists, substance abuse counselors, psychiatrists, and dietitians.

A highly credentialed team taking a holistic approach to care is critical to achieving successful outcomes from substance abuse and addiction treatments.

Safety: An organization that focuses on participant safety, both physical and emotional. Many people will discover through the treatment process that abstinence from all substances is the best choice for them. Through this journey, it is important to support participants in staying safe and reducing harm.

Find a support system you trust to aid your substance abuse and addiction treatment.

Mental Health and Trauma Training: Drug abuse and addiction generally co-occur with a mental health or trauma experience. It is important that a treatment program has the ability to treat not only substance abuse but also underlying mental health concerns and trauma.

Ideally, a program would have a psychiatrist on staff, and staff trained in trauma-informed care. A good support system believes recovery and healing are two sides of the same coin, and both are necessary for long-lasting success.

An Individualized Program: An organization that tailors the experience to the individual and their unique needs. Find a team that sees you or your loved one as a person and creates a support program based on what is needed. True change from substance abuse and addiction treatment comes from authentic connection and genuine investment.

Strengths Based: An approach that focuses on what is working and nurtures those activities, patterns, and behaviors to encourage health and vibrancy.

Evidence-Based Care: An organization that draws on research and time-tested practices for the best possible outcome. Research or ask about the therapy methods they use in addition treatment.

Family Oriented: Any large life challenge always affects and is impacted by the surrounding system. Find an organization that supports and integrates the whole family. No one walks the road to recovery alone.

How Arlington is Managing its Public Health Crisis

Arlington County Opioid Task Force

In response to the growing crisis, the Arlington Addiction Recovery Initiative was created in 2017 by the Department of Human Services and the Police Department. Others invited included the public schools, law enforcement, fire department, local hospital and non-profit partners. The group has met monthly and divided work among several key areas and created action plans for each area.

1. Increase Public Awareness of the Opioid Crisis

2. Educate Community About Opioid Treatment Options

3. Expand Access to Treatment and Recovery Supports

4. Dissemination of Naloxone and Safe Prescribing

5. Supply Reduction and Enforcement

6. Data Management

The goal of this coalition is to build awareness of the opioid epidemic, addiction prevention, and provide treatment resources to community members. This includes the safe disposal of medications through drug takeback boxes.
 

REVIVE! Initiative

REVIVE! was created in response to the growing number of people OD’ing on opioids. REVIVE makes naloxone (Narcan) available to lay rescuers to reverse opioid overdoses. REVIVE! Trains people on what to do and not to do in an overdose situation, how to administer naloxone, and what to do afterwards. Each trainee receives a free REVIVE! Kit which includes all the supplies needed to administer the medication as well as a safety plan to help people prevent overdose if they relapse.
 

The READY Coalition

READY is Arlington’s coalition to Reduce and Eliminate Alcohol and Drug use by Youth. Created by community members, school and county staff, READY is committed to identifying the risk factors teens face related to underage drinking, marijuana, and other substances and help them make healthier choices.

This group provides information about the risks associated with drug and alcohol use. They partner with Arlington Public Schools, community organizations, teen groups, faith groups, and local businesses.

Arlington Drug & Alcohol Recovery Resources

In addition to seeking out support from addiction professionals, having a network of people that will build you up as you continue your sobriety is very important. Organizations like 12 Step Programs and SMART Recovery provide meetings that build up sober individuals and help to create a supportive community.
