About VHC Health – Virginia Hospital Center

VHC Health – Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Virginia, offers an inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation program. To ensure your safety and comfort, your addiction treatment usually starts with a detox procedure under medical supervision. You will be referred to suitable follow up treatments after detox, which could include intensive outpatient care, residential treatment at another facility or an inpatient program.

If you decide to enroll in their rehabilitation program, a psychosocial assessment will be performed. An educational plan that is tailored to the four primary treatment goals will be developed with the help of this evaluation. These goals consist of relapse prevention, self diagnosis, education and community resources.

Your medical and educational requirements, your drive for recovery and the advice of the treatment team and referral sources will all affect how long you stay. Your program will consist of lectures and specialized education groups. Along with learning about the philosophies of Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous, you will work with the nursing and counseling staff to better understand your condition.

The outpatient program encourages friends and family to attend free sessions to help with recovery. Three hour intensive outpatient sessions are held three times a week. They focus on group dynamics to help with recovery and reinforce learning. Relapse prevention and recovery skills are the main topics of weekly structured sessions for ongoing care. These emphasize the sober living skills required for sustained sobriety.

Support groups provide a forum for talking about stressors in your life and how they affect your road to recovery. Additional groups are available to accommodate changing community needs, and schedules are flexible.
