Chantilly Detox Center Reviews

Drug & Alcohol Treatment Options

Struggling with substance use or addiction? Our rehab centers can help.

Call (888) 850-1890 Verify Insurance

Alcohol

The transition between recreational alcohol use and alcohol dependence can be a subtle one. But if you’re finding that you can’t stop drinking when you want to, you may have alcohol dependence.

Marijuana

Similar to alcohol use, smoking or ingesting marijuana has become normalized as a way to relax or take the edge off. When overused, it can make you feel unable to cope with life without using.

Stimulants

A stimulant is any drug that increases your central nervous system activity. Stimulants are used to heighten attention, hyperactivity, and alertness. Abuse of these drugs can lead to a variety of health problems.

Opioids

Opioids are a class of drugs that include synthetic opioids, pain killers, and the illegal drug heroin. These drugs, including prescription medications, are highly addictive.

The First 48 Hours: Assessments & Evaluations

The first 48 hours of detox are crucial, and your comfort and safety during that stage is our highest priority. Once you are stabilized, we will then complete a full medical, psychiatric, and psychological assessment.

These evaluations give us a clear picture of how we can help you in your recovery journey, allowing us to tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs. The assessment process covers the following topics:

Icon Person Refresh
Physical Health

In addition to an initial evaluation with our Nurse Practitioner, you will be assessed every four hours by a member of our nursing team. This nursing assessment includes checking vital signs, monitoring withdrawal symptoms, and administering medications as needed.

Individualized Treatment Plans
Substance Abuse Evaluation

You will have an initial evaluation of your substance use to make sure that your treatment team has all of the information they need to take care of you in the best way possible.

This information will be gathered again later during the biopsychosocial assessment, which is completed by a therapist or certified addiction counselor.

Icon Mental Health
Mental Health

Each day, you will have a one-on-one check in with a therapist or counselor to evaluate your mental and emotional status, as well as any symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or any other mental health disorders you may be struggling with.

During the biopsychosocial assessment, you are asked to provide in-depth information about the history of family medical, mental health, and substance use disorders to help inform medical and clinical recommendations and treatment planning.

Co-occurring Mental Health Disorder Treatment Explained

Treating Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

Not only are we experts in safe medical detox, but we also believe in treating the whole person. You may have mental health challenges alongside your addiction, and the staff at our Fairfax county detoxification center is trained to identify and treat those conditions.

Because there can be an overlap in symptoms between drug use and mental health disorders, it’s very important to accurately assess and treat both challenges together. Some symptoms of mental health disorders can make addiction recovery more difficult as you try to self-medicate.

By using holistic medical detox methods that take your mental struggles into account, you can reach long-lasting recovery and feel like yourself again.

Co-occurring Disorder Treatment Options

Call (888) 850-1890 Verify Insurance

Depression involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in daily activities.

Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety disorders are thought patterns of fear, dread, and uneasiness that affect other aspects of your life.

Bipolar Treatment

Bipolar disorder involves cycles of manic episodes with high energy and depressive episodes with sadness and low energy.

Trauma & PTSD Treatment

Trauma is the emotional response to a specific event like an accident, sexual abuse, or a natural disaster.

Attention Disorder Treatment

Attention disorders, such as ADHD, are marked by difficulty focusing, controlling impulsive behaviors, and over-activity.

Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment

Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by unstable relationships and emotions, often leading to impulsive behavior and intense mood swings.

Our Clients Experience Reduced Levels of Anxiety and Depression

At Sandstone Care, we know disorders like anxiety and depression can have a profound impact on one’s ability to enjoy life. That’s why our treatment programming addresses both addiction and mental health challenges.

In a recent study of people who completed treatment with us, the group reported a 57% decrease in anxiety symptoms. The same group also experienced a 78% decrease in symptoms of depression.

These are life changing numbers for our alumni. And for those experiencing addiction, they can be the difference between relapse and lasting recovery.

Mid-Mornings: Letting It Out

After completing your morning routine, you will be invited to join staff and their peers in the common area for morning group.

This is a time for you to share how you’re feeling emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, and for staff to assess your needs.

Discussions are led by a licensed therapist or addiction counselor and range from topics like self-esteem, relationships, and trust, to relapse prevention and life changes.

How Experienced is the Medical Staff?

At Sandstone Care, our credentialed medical professionals specialize in evidence-based methods, including proven therapies and medication assisted treatment.

The therapies we use, both individually and as a group, equip you with practical coping skills. From emotional regulation and mindfulness to stress tolerance, therapy can help you to effectively manage cravings and navigate triggers.

Our credentialed medical staff makes sure that you will be safe and comfortable as you detox, which may include the use of medication. Medication assisted treatment can safely decrease side effects and lower your chance of relapsing.

You might have tried to get sober before, and nothing seemed to stick. However, with evidence-based methods conducted by patient and empathetic professionals, you will have the concrete tools you need to recover.

You Have Questions, We Have Answers

Our goal is to provide the most helpful information. Please reach out to us at (888) 850-1890 if you have any additional questions. We are here to help in any way we can.

Knowing what level of care would be best for you is tricky! If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you attempt to discontinue use, it is more than likely you would benefit from detox. (Please note that our Chantilly Detox location only treats adults and young adults, not adolescents.)

However, the best way to know whether or not you would benefit from medical detox at a recovery center is to get a professional opinion. Our trained admissions team would be happy to speak with you and advise you on next steps.

Every individual we treat at Sandstone Care is unique. Unlike facilities with a fixed detox protocol and set duration, we customize our treatment to address your specific needs. The average length of stay ranges from 5 to 14 days, and factors influencing this duration include:

  • The substances you’re detoxing from
  • The duration of your substance use
  • How often you’ve been drinking or using drugs
  • Your overall physical and mental well-being
  • Any underlying medical conditions you may have

When you arrive to the Northern Virginia Detox & Inpatient Center at Fairfax county, you will be greeted at the door by one of our staff members. A nurse and behavioral health technician will guide you through the admission and intake process which includes several assessments and initial evaluations. Then you will be shown to your bedroom and given some time to settle in and meet other staff and clients in the facility.

Each client is supported by a highly-credentialed, multidisciplinary treatment team that includes a Medical Doctor, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Licensed Clinicians, Registered Nurses, Addiction Counselors, and Case Managers.

The Northern Virginia Detox Center is conveniently located in Fairfax county, Virginia with quick and easy access to Arlington and Washington DC. Some of the notable features of our treatment facility include:

  • Bedrooms with attached private bathrooms
  • Access to cell phones
  • TVs equipped with Netflix in each room
  • 3 meals a day and snacks available 24/7
  • Onsite laundry services

Yes. Upon admission, you will be evaluated by our medical team, which will determine what medications and health services will be used to make your detox safe and comfortable. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is proven to be effective in treating substance use disorders, especially in combination with evidence-based therapy and counseling. Our personalized programming is designed to learn your needs and goals so we can choose the best course of treatment for your specific challenges. By offering medically-supervised withdrawal from substances, we help our clients recover quickly and safely from drug or alcohol use.

We also recognize that not all situations call for MAT. Our medical team will evaluate your circumstances and determine what type of treatment is appropriate for you. Learn more about Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) here.

Residential centers are rehabilitation services that are provided outside of a hospital setting and typically offer longer stays within the facility. These live-in rehab centers provide structure, assistance with employment or education, as well as group and individual therapies that focus on addressing underlying psychological or behavioral problems related to substance abuse.

Inpatient rehabilitation often involves a short-term stay within a hospital setting with healthcare professionals, and is used in emergency situations to help stabilize their health. As a result, continued treatment in follow-up programs addressing drug addiction or alcohol addiction may be required.

If you need to find a treatment center, support groups, or community based organizations immediately, call SAMHSA.gov’s national helpline 1-800-662-4357.
