About Washington Behavioral Health

They offer outpatient psychiatry, medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, and other mental health services. They take most major private insurance, including TRICARE. They accept Medicare and offer discounted rates for self pay patients.

Convenient Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Woodbridge

The clinic uses the evidenced based treatment regimen of medication, behavioral therapies, and counseling to support clients in recovery from opioid dependence. Since this is an outpatient program, you’ll be able to continue working or going to school.

Clients with other types of addictions can also get outpatient treatment here. Treatment includes individual and group therapy. The treatment team works to listen to you, respect your perspective, and work with you to build a custom treatment plan. They’re sensitive to the personal nature of addiction and mental health challenges, and they take your privacy seriously.

Cutting Edge NeuroStar Treatment

Using magnetic fields to stimulate brain nerve cells, Neurostar Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that helps with major depressive disorder. The prefrontal cortex of your brain regulates mood and is involved in depression.

TMS stimulates the nerve cells in this part of the brain which has been shown to be especially effective for clients with treatment resistant depression. You can go back to your regular activities right after you’ve had treatment.

For people who have depression co occurring with substance use disorder, TMS may be able to help you break through and find freedom.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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

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.

I have had a long and positive experience at this facility. I’ve been a patient for about 5 years. No complaints. In office wait times can sometimes run a little long, but that’s not unusual at most doctor’s offices. Everyone has been wonderful and helpful. From the front desk staff to my doctors. Thank you.

I have been seeing Dr. Husam AlAthari for almost a year now. He’s excellent, always ready to listen or suggest new things to try either in my outlook or behavior or well-thought out medication changes. He seems caring and compassionate. Their office staff are great too and getting appointments is easy and he wait times are short. Thank you!

I had been going to this practice for well over 12 years without an issue. Dr. Alathari is amazing and has been for many years! However, I just recently had an in-person appointment after doing them virtually for many years. They changed their policy were you must provide a drug screen every three months which isn't an issue. I met with Zahra Almosawi the Clinical Supervisor and had the worst healthcare experience in my life. I went into her office to find three medical students sitting in a tight area within the office. Zahra accused me of being a drug seeker after being on the same medications for over 10 years. I simply needed a refill of my medication without changes. She was extremely rude, argued with me, didn't listen to a word I said to her, and was completely disrespectful! If you go to this practice, beware of Zahra. I am astonished that she can practice in the mental health field and be as insensitive as she is. Zahra you are an absolute horrible provider and Dr. Alathari needs to fire you immediately! The backstory to this practice is that they work with Court systems as well to provide drug treatment to people on probation. The entire practice treats everyone like a criminal. I moved over to ThriveWorks and have had a wonderful experience since!

Excellent at diagnosing and prescribing effective medication and lifestyle changes. I have been a patient for almost a year and am quite pleased in advancing away from a previously intractable depression and anxiety. This is my second post and second year as a patient at Washington Behavioral Health and my anxiety and depression have markedly improved. Yes, there have been some bumps along the way, but in total, I have been exceptionally pleased.
