Programs in Arlington
Outpatient care for addiction, mental health, or both
Mental health treatment
Psychiatric care and therapy for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADHD, delivered in person at our Arlington center or by secure telehealth anywhere in Virginia.
Mental health programsDual-diagnosis care
Substance use and a mental health condition are treated together, in one plan, by one team. Treating only half of the picture is the most common reason outpatient care fails to hold.
How dual diagnosis worksHow we treat
Evidence-based care, delivered with structure
Evidence-based therapy
CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care form the clinical core of every Arlington program. Skills are practiced in group and reinforced in individual sessions.
Medical & medication support
Medically-managed psychiatric care and medication management, plus FDA-approved MAT with Suboxone, naltrexone, or Vivitrol for alcohol and opioid use disorders.
Family, group & holistic work
Group therapy, family and couples sessions, relapse prevention, plus expressive arts, yoga, sound bath, and mindfulness for the parts of recovery that talk therapy alone does not reach.
Conditions we treat
Addiction, mental health, or both
We assess and treat the full range of substance use and mental health conditions that bring people to outpatient care in Arlington. If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, a confidential phone assessment is the fastest way to find out.

When outpatient care is not enough
Detox, residential & inpatient referrals
Sometimes recovery starts with a higher level of care. When detox, residential, or inpatient treatment is the safest first step, we coordinate placement with trusted, vetted providers and take the guesswork out of the handoff.
- Same-day assessment for addiction, mental health, or dual-diagnosis needs
- Matched to a vetted detox, residential, or inpatient provider
- Seamless continuation of care with our outpatient team after discharge
Why families trust our referrals
We only refer to providers we have personally vetted for clinical quality, safety, and clear communication. From the first call to the day you step into treatment, our team walks with you through the process — so you are never left to figure it out alone.

Why Arlington
Treatment that fits the life you already have
Arlington runs on demanding careers — government, military, contracting, law, tech — and the pressure rarely pauses long enough for a 30-day residential stay. Outpatient care exists for exactly that reason. You get clinical intensity during the day and go home at night, which means recovery skills get practiced in the same environment where the stress actually lives.
Being based here also means we know the local landscape: the detox and residential programs worth referring to, the psychiatrists who take new patients, the mutual-aid meetings across the county, and the security-clearance and FMLA questions that come up constantly in this community. Care coordination is part of the program, not an afterthought.
Nearby areas we serve

Frequently asked questions
Arlington patients often ask
Where is your Arlington treatment center located?
We're at 5400 Shawnee Road, Arlington, VA 22205, with parking on site and Metro bus access. The center is convenient to Ballston, Clarendon, Westover, Cherrydale, and the rest of North and South Arlington.
Do I have to stay overnight?
No. All of our programs are outpatient. You attend structured programming during the day or evening and sleep at home, which lets you keep working, parenting, and practicing recovery in the environment you actually live in.
What levels of care do you offer in Arlington?
Partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), general outpatient therapy, medication-assisted treatment, medication management, psychiatric care, and integrated dual-diagnosis treatment. If detox or residential is needed first, we coordinate placement with vetted partners and take you back afterward.
Can I do treatment virtually instead?
Yes. Our clinicians are licensed in Virginia, so telehealth is available to anyone located in the state, including our Virtual IOP program. Arlington residents often mix in-person and virtual sessions depending on their week.
Do you take insurance?
We work with most major plans including Anthem, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Sentara. We verify your benefits and explain expected costs before you start, and we offer self-pay options.
How quickly can I be seen?
Most people complete a phone assessment the same day they call and begin programming within a few days. If you're in crisis or need detox, we help arrange same-day placement at a higher level of care.
