“Good therapy builds a strong collaborative relationship with a knowledgable guide who can empower and facilitate access to one’s own truth to heal the brain, body, heart, and soul.”
Addiction Recovery
Helping Addicts to Help Themselves
Addiction is a powerful chronic illness that can cause deep disconnectedness in the heart and soul of an individual and in the life of a family. The compulsions and obsessions characteristic of this disease hijack the brain, regardless of what one is addicted to, so that reason and free will are compromised. Individuals are splintered and families are splintered.
We are here because addicts cannot recover alone. Our outpatient care offers compassionate and knowledgeable guides in the quest for health, peace, and sobriety. We offer treatment in a milieu of a safe community, fostering fellowship with peers walking the walk. We specialize in treating substance abuse and sex addiction.
You can trust us to know what you need at all stages of recovery. We will guide you from taking the first steps to getting sober, through to long-term emotional, spiritual, and physical health. We will also support your marriage and family though the recovery process.
Professionals Recovery
Helping leaders heal
Experience tells us that impaired professionals benefit from treatment settings where their special challenges to sobriety are understood and their strengths are recognized as resources. Helping wounded leaders restore their emotional, physical, and spiritual health and their natural ability to lead is at the core of what it means to live clean and sober.
Our services help legal, aviation, military, and healthcare professionals deal with licensure problems, debilitating shame, and work reentry concerns in a supportive environment with their peers.
With therapeutic advocacy and recovery monitoring groups, professionals enjoy more success in sobriety, have fewer relapses, return to work earlier, experience lower burnout rates, and show improved work performance.
We work together with Employee Assistance Programs and State Boards of Health Professions, including Boards of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and all other licensing bodies. In addition, we work collaboratively with legal advocacy groups such as Virginia Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program and aviation groups such as the HIMS Program (Human Intervention & Motivation Study).
Healthcare professionals also can benefit from structured Treatment and Monitoring offered through our private practice as a preventative step to entering into the professional disciplinary process.
Medical Management
Addiction is a Matter of Brain Health
We approach the treatment of addiction from an understanding that it is a chronic illness and that life-long recovery is possible for anyone willing to embrace treatment.
We believe that is it is imperative to treat the addicted brain in order for the whole person to survive and thrive.
Our medical services assist patients to heal the brain with help of adjunctive pharmacologic therapies, when they are indicated. For optimal results, we may utilize neurogenic reagents to enable the brain’s natural plasticity to regenerate.
Our purpose is to catalyze healthy changes in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior so that the benefits of psychotherapy are enhanced and recovery is strengthened.
Recovery Check-Ups
Opportunities for Ongoing Appraisal and Support
Those with time in recovery often benefit from pausing and thoughtfully assessing their current status, the strengths and weakness of their recovery program, and the potential threat of relapse.
Feedback from us can help affirm what is working well in your recovery, and help you get clarity about what you may need to improve or grow to strengthen your sobriety.
Recovery Check-Ups are helpful for those at a stuck place in recovery or believe they are in relapse, and want to set a new direction or goals. Our feedback may shed light on old or new issues that begin to surface as recovery unfolds.
Recovery Check-Ups are also useful for our recovering professionals who seek to document the work they are doing in recovery so that their professional stature and fitness is protected and corroborated.
