Our treatment center offers a welcoming environment where patients can work toward long-term healing. Our dedicated team of professionals specializes in opioid addiction treatment and is ready to help support you on your unique journey to recovery.? 

At Annandale CTC, we recognize that opioid addiction is a deeply personal experience, and that symptoms can vary from person to person. Before developing each patient’s customized treatment plan, we consider their unique needs, symptoms, and goals.? 

The expert care team at Annandale CTC is proud to serve patients from Annandale and the greater northern Virginia area.?We are committed to providing compassionate, patient-centered opioid addiction treatment that can help people build a brighter, healthier future.? 

Medication-assisted treatment is widely recognized as an effective method for treating opioid addictions. Professional organizations like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) consider MAT to be a leading treatment option for opioid use disorder. MAT addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction by combining the use of FDA-approved medications with comprehensive counseling. 

At Annandale CTC, counseling plays a crucial role in the recovery journey. Individual and group therapy sessions provide a supportive environment where patients can connect with others, gain deeper self-awareness, and build healthier coping strategies for the future. 

The prescription medications used in MAT vary based on location but may include methadone, buprenorphine, and Suboxone®. These medications can help reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms, enabling patients to focus on their recovery. We carefully monitor patients’ progress and adjust medication dosages as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. 

Studies show that people who receive medication-assisted treatment are more likely to:  

• Stay engaged in the recovery process 

• Have enhanced mental clarity 

• Have a reduced risk for overdose 

• Have a lower possibility of relapse 

• Strengthen and improve their personal relationships 

• Achieve greater stability at work and home 

• Experience an enhanced overall quality of life 

By incorporating both medication and therapy, MAT empowers people who are struggling with opioid addictions to regain control of their lives, rebuild their relationships, and become more engaged in their communities. 

At Annandale Comprehensive Treatment Center, we offer both individual and group counseling sessions. Participating in these sessions can help patients address the root causes of addiction and develop healthier thought patterns and coping strategies.  

Individual therapy sessions provide a private space for patients to meet with a licensed counselor. In these sessions, patients can explore past experiences, discuss current concerns, and set meaningful goals for the future. Our compassionate therapists can help patients identify and work through personal challenges and develop valuable skills, such as: 

• Managing stress and triggers in healthier ways  

• Establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries 

• Practicing self-compassion and positive self-talk 

• Communicating more effectively with others, including conflict resolution 

• Recognizing early signs of relapse and taking proactive steps to seek help 

In addition to individual counseling, we provide group therapy sessions where patients can connect with and receive support from others who have had similar experiences. Group therapy sessions foster a sense of community and mutual support, helping participants navigate the challenges of recovery together. Led by experienced counselors, group sessions focus on topics such as addiction, trauma, and the healing process, encouraging open and honest conversations.  

In group therapy, patients can also develop essential life skills, including:? 

• Self-awareness: Recognizing personal strengths and identifying areas for growth  

• Emotion regulation: Processing and handling emotions in ways that promote overall well-being 

• Building and maintaining healthy relationships: Engaging meaningfully with others while respecting boundaries 

• Adaptability: Learning to manage change and uncertainty without turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms 

• Resilience: Overcoming challenges with determination and a positive mindset 

By participating in both individual and group therapy, patients can build essential skills, regain self-confidence, and establish a strong support network that can help promote long-term recovery. At Annandale CTC, we want to give each patient the tools they need to make positive lasting changes in their lives.
