About Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program – Alexandria

Separate adult and adolescent PHPs provide treatment five to six days per week for six to seven hours per day. Participants receive two meals and snacks daily and have time to put into practice the new skills they learn. Methods of treatment include exposure and response prevention, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy.

The IOP consists of three to six days per week of treatment with at least nine hours of treatment per week. This level of care is for individuals who are ready to shift their focus back to their own lives but still want to attend therapy.

Their levels of care typically include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, and sober living programming. Most outpatient facilities offer addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative programs include evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, music therapy, and massage. Facilities specializing in alcohol and/or opioid addiction may also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT).

inpatient iconInpatient Rehab

Clients who are in early recovery, leaving detox, or experiencing a crisis often require the intensive treatment of an inpatient rehab facility. Clients in inpatient care receive robust clinical supervision, housing, and meals, allowing them to focus exclusively on their recovery while they stabilize. The primary treatment modalities used in most inpatient centers include extensive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Many drug rehabs also offer holistic therapies, such as music, art, fitness, and experiential therapies.

Heart icon Treatment

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Virginia is a short term form of talk therapy. Participants usually have homework between sessions, which may include journaling, self talk, and setting SMART goals. The aim is to transform negative thought patterns into positive ones.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy helps you understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing traumatic events. Using therapeutic interventions, your therapist works with you to reframe that experience, which in turn reduces your anxiety and helps you regain control over your life.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy teaches you what to eat and not eat, how to grocery shop, how to cook easy nutritious meals, and how to use food as medicine to address your health issues. These skills will help speed up your recovery process and reduce the risk of relapse.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is based on the philosophy that individuals cannot think themselves out of their struggles. Instead, they need experiences to help them physically and emotionally work through issues. Examples include adventure therapy, music therapy, and equine therapy. These methods are often used to treat substance abuse and other types of behavioral addictions.

Our daughter was in desperate need of help. Her ED had gotten into a dangerous zone. Out patient therapy was just not enough to bridge the gap for us. We began looking for facilities and this one was semi close. Leaving your child can be very difficult and reading reviews I felt somewhat comfortable with this place.Ilida was really easy to work with. When we arrived, she went through all of the initial paperwork with us and made sure we understood everything before signing. While there our daughter was able to gain weight and understand her relationship with her body image and understand how her eating disorder affected that. The staff was great and quickly developed relationships that were therapeutic with my daughter- helping her use her DBT skills when she would get upset. As a mom, it does your heart good to know that when your child is upset, there is someone there to comfort them when you can t. She went in having withdrawn into herself, no longer enjoying activities she had previously enjoyed, and as previously mentioned, very sick. She discharged a healthy, happy kiddo! Enjoying activities she hadn t enjoyed in a long time!The only negative comments I have is that the house was in somewhat of a transition of staff upon our arrival. Our daughter was assigned a virtual therapist & virtual dietician. While both of these individuals were great, we would have much preferred in person facilitation. There were some lapses of communication a few times, but again, staff was/is in transition. When it s brought to their attention, they are quick to rectify this.At the end of the day, the good definitely outweighs the bad and if I had to do it all over again, I would send her there without hesitation. Actually at discharge, our daughter was in tears because while she wanted to come home, she was going to miss several of the staff!

Great facility helped my child immensely only complaint is when she was discharged they missed a whole bag of clothes and because it is 2 1/2 hours away it took us a few months to go back to get the clothes and they had discarded them without even calling us they said that we signed something at admission but neither my husband or I remember that being discussed. The right thing to do would have been to call me and say we re gonna discard it if you don t come get it by this date

Personally, I think it was really helpful. I was about to get sent to residential but my parents wanted to see if CFD could help me first. I ended up staying for 5 months and it was tough at first but I was able to challenge myself a lot. While I did make a lot of friends and learned more about my ed, some of the staff was mean and unhelpful. They were rude and often did not make me feel valued or heard.

The director, Susan, is narcissistic and insane. She took my parents into her office during a visit and decided to kick me out on a Sunday with no previous warning. She has insulted me, yelled and me, lied to my parents, and mistreated other patients. I was left with nowhere to go except home, 3 1/2 hours away. My stay lasted just under 3 weeks, and while my interactions with everyone except Susan were positive, my time there was stressful and led to many mental breakdowns due to threats of being kicked out and splitting patients up. No php or iop placements were set up before kicking me out without warning. Susan is unfit for her position and has ruined my stay after waiting 4 months for placement.
