Inova CATS Program - Inpatient Detox

They provide inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Fairfax is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Falls Church.

Alongside this, Falls Church has 17 NA meetings and 98 free AA meetings.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Falls Church, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The nearest alternative is in Fairfax, under a mile away, if the age is the thing that rules this one out.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Falls Church.

The list should include anything stopped recently, because a recent change matters as much as a current dose. Pill organizers are often refused at the door, because medication has to arrive labeled. Ask who writes your prescriptions after discharge, because a gap at that point is a common problem.

There is a role, and it is a bigger one than most people expect going in. Living with somebody in early recovery changes a household's routine, and family sessions are where that gets planned. Ask what the center expects from the household on the day the program ends.
