They have the worst person answering the phone, the lady at the front desk is very rude, and do not gave me the information that I was asking for. They never answer the emails so if you need something its better that you come in person. I wish I would give it a zero because ...
About Alcohol Safety Action Program
The Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP) in Fairfax, Virginia, is overseen by the Commission on VASAP and the Fairfax ASAP Policy Board. This facility provides probationary services for the Circuit Court and the General District Court in Fairfax County.
Programs for DUI and Substance Related Offenses
The ASAP program uses community and state services for this criminal justice program. Their primary purpose is to reduce the number of drivers operating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Offenders who are convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) or other charges related to substance abuse are assessed to determine the best service to fit each individual need.
There is a long list of services provided through the ASAP program. First time offenders may be eligible for the Virginia 251 program and avoid jail time. The offender is placed on probation with terms and conditions that must be met. These terms include community service, random drug and alcohol testing, being employed, participating in an education or treatment program, and six months suspension of license.
Core Programs Offered
The Virginia Court Services Probation Referral Program (Community Corrections) is an alternative to jail time with community-based supervision. The goal of the program is to prevent the offender from reoffending, to be aware of public safety, and to provide support for the needs of the offender.
The MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Victim Impact Panel (VIP) uses victims and survivors as speakers for offenders to increase awareness of the devastating effects of driving under the influence. An Ignition Interlock Monitor is required for individuals who have been convicted of driving while impaired. This device requires a breath sample before the vehicle can be started.
The Habitual Offender Monitor Program seeks to prevent reoffences by intensive monitoring by police and other agencies, collaboration with agencies based on individual needs, interventions to aid rehabilitation, and enhanced penalties such as longer jail time.
Other Programs Through ASAP and Fairfax County
Other programs that may be court ordered are Rehabilitative Alcohol/Drug Education, Treatment Program Assessments and Referral, the SAFE Program, and the Driver Improvement Program.

Latest Reviews
I spoke with Anna as well as a Hispanic male both rude, condescending, highly unprofessional. Reading previous reviews I’m shocked these receptionist still have a job. They rather bicker and argue instead of simply doing their job so that I can quickly and efficiently move on with the program. I’ve left a voicemail for the supervisor, hopefully he will take these reviews into consideration!
This office is super inefficient. Poor communication skills
This place deserves a 0 start rating… let’s see where do I start, first and foremost the front desk person (I believe her name Irina or Irinia) is rude, unprofessional and disrespectful in all aspects. I honestly don’t know why the county of Fairfax hires these type of people that clearly are not happy with their job nor suitable for the job. I had an appointment scheduled at 9:30am and it was 10:30am and I was still not called. I asked if they were going to take me in anytime soon because I had an appointment 9:30am and have been waiting for more than 1 more and the lady at the front desk gave a dirty look and rudely replied that “they were busy”, she simply did not care. Overall in general the people who work there are very rude and disrespectful. They have no manners nor empathy/ respect or customer service what so ever.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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 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.
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 (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
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.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.
