This is an institution that should NOT be allowed to exist. Its a hazard to the surrounding community and creates new drug use patterns once the people attending the clinic begin to pair up and help each other beat the tests that are given while still using. That's not to mention the fact that Methadone itself is a terribly toxic and dangerous thing to ingest, and you become chained to this place just like a heroin addict to their dealer. Its a real tragedy that people feel this is harm reduction instead of only routing people to proper rehab and detox facilities. The councilors are often at their fist job and while this may have changed they are woefully unprepared to handle the people that end up here. I feel truly sorry for anyone who is attending this clinic, and I wish them all the best in their journey towards hopefully freeing themselves from the daily or weekly trips to pick up their heroin alternative.

This place is well run and does a great job helping people who need help for an affordable price. The staff is respectful and professional. If you know someone that needs help, tell them to keep their head down, focus in their needs and this place will help, they can take care of your friends and family in a safe environment. They are prompt, they communicate well and they can get you in and out relatively quickly once you're set up.

So the only thing bad I will say is they can t dose you coming in off the street for the first time I transfered from Genesis Fredrick Maryland, because FMTC accepted my insurance so I wouldn t have to pay out of pocket anymore (could be pricey) and they actually dose you first day of treatment so atleast you don t have to be sick, and leave the clinic feeling hopeful ,but once the ball gets rolling FMTC is a ok place to be. The staff is able to get things done in a timely fashion. They recently had a big turnaround of staff and lost some good counselors to another clinic , but they are starting to get things back in order. I highly recommend this place if you are willing to do the work this program will work for you. Keep the faith you got this! You just have to take the first step I m 5 years clean and opiates ran me for 17 years and let me tell you I don t think about opiates anymore hope this helps

Location

Accepted Insurance

FMTC – Fairfax Methadone Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients participating in a rehab aftercare program receive comprehensive and customized support as they leave high-intensity treatment, reintegrate into their community, and focus on maintaining their sobriety. These programs offer a wide variety of services to align with the client's unique and evolving needs, often including medical, mental health, and social service program referrals. Clients typically develop their drug rehab aftercare plan in conjunction with their case manager and care team.
12-step icon12-Step
Once involved in a 12 step recovery program, clients can commit to a model of life-long recovery rooted in spiritual growth and intensive peer support. 12 step meetings are anonymous, peer-led, free, and accessible day and night, year-round, in most communities. Self-selected sponsors provide one-on-one coaching as participants work through the steps of recovery. These steps are based on spiritual principles used to address the origins of the addiction and to encourage self-compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in Vermont offers a balance between monitored structure and living in mainstream society. No alcohol or drugs are allowed on the premises, and residents must participate in 12-step meetings. Residents of the halfway house also agree to submit to random drug screenings, pay rent, and participate in household activities such as meetings, meals, and chores.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in Virginia requires careful planning and execution. Due to complex family dynamics, intervention services are often necessary to help families successfully navigate the process. An intervention specialist can help family members plan what they will say and then facilitate the conversation. This expert also educates everyone involved about addiction, enabling behaviors, and treatment options.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in Virginia features a highly trained team of professionals to treat your physical, mental, and emotional needs. Doctors and nurses are available to prescribe and administer medications. Psychologists and counselors provide professional counseling. Other experts such as nutritionists and addiction specialists may also offer support. This 24/7, comprehensive care is designed to give you the support you need to begin a successful recovery.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

When you enroll in drug rehab in Virginia, a treatment plan is designed by professional staff in order to help you overcome drug addiction and modify addictive behaviors. This may include evidence-based treatments, group and individual therapy, and relapse prevention.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

For those experiencing mental health challenges, including substance use disorder, dialectical behavior therapy in Virginia offers an evidence based method of treatment. This therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal relations so you can break free from negative patterns.

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.

Men and women in Virginia use individual therapy to focus on addiction related challenges as a necessary part of their drug and alcohol addiction treatment. Your therapist guides you in developing coping strategies, setting realistic goals, and building a strong foundation for an improved quality of life.

Motivational interviewing in Virginia allows clients to examine their lives and consider their options. It is particularly useful if the client lacks confidence in their ability to change or is feeling uncertain about their desire to change.

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 therapists work with all members of the family to understand the roles they play in the addiction dynamic. Addressing these patterns is crucial to developing healthier ways to interact and support each other, as well as contributing to a more effective recovery for their loved ones.

If you've experienced addiction, you may have lost the skills to self manage and adapt to change. Because these basic life skills are crucial for recovery, drug rehab programs typically include life skills training as an integral part of treatment.

Condescending people, the atmosphere was so toxic that the staff had a high turnover rate, that coming and going made the patient feel abandoned.

If there were other Methadone Clinic with better ratings I wouldn't even support my loved one to go here but apparently they are all just as bad from the ratings. We transferred from the clinic in SE, DC and as rough as the neighborhood was on that end- their staff, counselors and doctors really cared and took the time to meet with you frequently if not daily. So don't judge a book by it's cover, unfortunately my insurance no longer covered it so we had to move to a clinic that did. It took almost a full month to get my loved one an intake and the only reason someone got back to her was because I had to ask for the director. She is on her 3rd week and yet has not met her counselor nor has an idea who they are. Boundaries and confidentiality seems to be an issue since a receptionist there will talk about peoples usage in a negative way amongst her peers at the front desk and the clients can hear it all. Let's not talk about Equitability because that's definitely not practiced there, my pregnant loved one that uses the bathroom before heading out to this clinic (due to the driving distance) is expect to provide a urine test as soon as she comes in on the day of testing and when ask for a mouth swap was told they ran out. So instead had to accept receiving DNT (did not test) which if she was there under probation or court order could affect her, thank God it's voluntary. With the swaps not being readily available it makes you wonder if no one there does timely inventory to note that they are running out of essential things that your insurances or your out of pocket money pays for. I read reviews here as old as 5 years about peoples horrible experience and what's sad is that apparently nothing has really change. They have not followed any of recommendations that came from the other clinic and although my loved one had been practicing the "take home" dose in the other clinic for 2 months they didn't consider her progress and choose to start her start from scratch as if none of the efforts she worked towards in the other clinic mattered. That's like you switching doctor's because you are moving and the new doctor begins treatment that you had already surpassed and doesn't care to consider your progress and instead goes with their agenda. 3 weeks and I had to write this review, as a PRS I feel it's my obligation to inform others on what to expect and it's unfortunate that better options aren't out there. Regretfully, in order to keep alive or from being homeless you have to succumb to this type treatment environment. Where is the Dignity in that? Hence Dignity is one of the highlights on the Website...smh.

Such a great place! Call to schedule your orientation and meet with the doctor! Sometimes you have to wait a few days but don't give up they will help you to get on a stable dose without judging your mistakes! The process isn't hard and once you meet the criteria you get take homes instead of having to go dose daily. Check it out, stick it out because YOU DO MATTER & YOU ARE WORTH IT! WE DO RECOVER!

Honestly, if you re actually serious about getting clean & putting the effort in you won t have any problems. My counselor is David & he s great, he seems as invested in my recovery as I am & always makes sure that all my requests & questions are handled & answered. The staff & nurses I interact with on a regular basis are all very sweet, friendly & helpful.
