Columbia Associates Arlington

Columbia Associates Arlington includes outpatient services plus treatment for co-occurring mental health, and its typical program length is 30 days. That means most people attend scheduled therapy sessions while living at home, rather than staying overnight at the facility. The center provides outpatient and mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction for 30 days as its listed typical program length. For someone who needs a structured day program but not 24-hour supervision, this level of care can fit. If you are unclear whether outpatient services meet your needs, then ask the center directly how it handles people who need more support.

Options for counseling include mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, group therapy, family therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and individual sessions. Nutrition counseling and transcranial magnetic stimulation also appear on the center's list, and it describes a bio-medical, evidence-based approach that involves family. These evidence-based services are listed for Arlington, Virginia, at 1 outpatient center in the SAMHSA data. If therapy did not help you before, then ask whether another approach, such as ACT or DBT, might suit you better.

If you need 24-hour monitoring during alcohol withdrawal, then an outpatient practice may not be the right setting at the start. Coming off alcohol and benzodiazepines can be hazardous so medical staff should oversee it, and our helpline can guide you to care levels that include medical support. The center's programs are designed for people who can safely manage their symptoms outside a hospital setting. If you are not sure where you fall, then a phone call to the center or to our helpline can help you sort out the right level of care.
