Community Counseling Solutions

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Arlington is set up for.

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Arlington does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Arlington.

Veterans are one of the 15 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

They do video appointments, which matters if Arlington is a drive for you.

Detox is days, residential care is weeks, and outpatient care is months. Where a plan approves days in batches, the length you start with is not necessarily the length you get. Ask what happens on the last day, and what gets arranged before it.

A previous attempt is information rather than a mark against you. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. Medications normally have to arrive in the original labeled container, so a pill organizer can be refused at the door. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
