If substance use or problematic behaviors are affecting your life despite negative consequences, you may benefit from professional addiction counseling in Fairfax, Vienna, and Sterling, VA. The primary goal of treatment is to help you safely stop the harmful behavior and build lasting recovery.
Treatment may include Medication-Assisted Therapy (MAT), such as anti-craving medications or Suboxone, provided by our addiction psychiatrists. These medications are often combined with evidence-based talk therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, these approaches help you uncover the underlying causes of addictive behavior, develop effective coping strategies, and reduce the risk of relapse.
The process begins with a thorough assessment and diagnosis conducted by a licensed psychotherapist certified in addictions. This allows for simultaneous treatment of both mental health and substance use concerns. Our counseling services also accommodate individuals involved with the criminal justice system and ASAP programs.
We use a combination of abstinence-based and harm-reduction models, and we encourage participation in community-based recovery support networks to strengthen long-term success.
