<p><strong>ABOUT INOVA COMPREHENSIVE ADDICTION TREATMENT SERVICES (CATS) PROGRAM</strong></p> <p>Inova, a <strong>nonprofit healthcare system</strong> that operates five hospitals in Northern Virginia, serves individuals struggling with <strong>substance abuse and <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a></strong> through CATS (Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Services). The facility is one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA17.pdf" target="_blank">113 (50.7 percent)</a> centers in the state offering dual diagnosis treatment and one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/VA17.pdf" target="_blank">13 (5.8 percent)</a> to offer <strong>inpatient, hospital-based detox.</strong> </p> <p>The facility also offers a <strong>partial hospitalization program (PHP)</strong>, intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), and standard outpatient treatment. Long-term residential treatment is not available, but staff can provide referrals to nearby facilities when appropriate.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Individuals who require medical stabilization begin treatment at the center’s <strong>stand-alone detox unit</strong>. Clients receive 24-hour monitoring and are prescribed medication, such as <strong>Suboxone or Vivtrol</strong>, to lessen the severity of withdrawal symptoms. During inpatient detox, clients may also participate in <strong>individual counseling, group therapy, family counseling</strong>, as well as receive <a href="https://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">individualized aftercare plans</a>.</p> <p>Once stabilized, clients may transition to CATS’ <strong>PHP</strong>, which meets <strong>daily between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.,</strong> or the IOP, which entails three hours of programming per day, up to five days per week. According to the center’s website, <strong>medication management</strong> is a cornerstone of the program, and alumni surveyed by Rehabs.com indicated that <strong>12-step programming</strong> was also incorporated into programming.</p> <p>Those who complete IOP or PHP may use the program’s standard outpatient offerings as step-down treatments. Outpatient care includes relapse prevention and sober living groups, individual therapy, couples’ counseling, <a href="https://www.recovery.org/pro/articles/the-pain-of-addiction-in-the-family-how-counseling-can-help" target="_blank">family therapy</a> and education, as well as regular <strong>toxicology screenings</strong>.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>According to the center’s website, the treatment team includes psychiatrists, physicians, nurses, licensed clinical therapists, and certified addiction counselors.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings. Detox clients, however, can likely expect clinical, hospital-like accommodations. To date, the five alumni polled by Rehabs.com on the matter gave moderate ratings for the facility's cleanliness.</p> <blockquote> <p>Facility Cleanliness and Upkeep: 3.6/5</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The six alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date provided moderately positive opinions concerning the facility, particularly for the facility's staff and amount of family participation. “Nurses and doctors were knowledgeable, compassionate, and clearly communicated treatment procedure and progress,” one anonymous alum wrote.</p> <blockquote> <p>Family Participation: 3.8/5<br /> Staff Experience and Training: 3.8/5<br /> Counseling Options: 3.6/5</p> </blockquote> <p>However, Justin, who provided much lower ratings than other surveyed alumni, felt that the program did “not address the underlying issues.” Overall, alumni offered lower ratings for holistic offerings and gave moderate ratings for the likelihood they'd recommend the facility to others. “Focused too much on chemical recovery, not on treatment program, if they had more counseling and holistic options rather than just medication, their success may be greater,” one anonymous alum wrote.</p> <blockquote> <p>Likelihood to Recommend: 3.2/5<br /> Holistic Offerings: 2.4/5</p> </blockquote> <p>The 13 Google users who submitted reviews of their experiences provided an average rating of <strong>3.2 out of five stars</strong> to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Alum E.B. gave just two stars and wrote, "I found several of the counselors in the program to also be condescending," while M.S. gave a perfect five-star rating, writing, "I would recommend it to anyone struggling with addiction. They made me feel welcomed and took care of me with meds and I felt comfortable there."</p> <p>There single reviewer on CiteHealth at the time of this writing gave just one out of five stars and wrote: "Caring is not the feeling you get from the staff. Truthfully, this seems like a money making scheme rather than a care facility.".<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> </p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The sole loved one polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing provided four-star ratings in all evaluated categories. While this anonymous reviewer felt that the program was “sometimes too clinical in approach,” they praised the “prompt treatment options” and “extensive/depth of specialists available.”</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to Inova’s website, the organization <strong>accepts private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare</strong>. However, it is not specifically indicated if the CATS program accepts all of these forms of coverage.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/KkVeKf" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/reviews/19838" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/reviews/19838</a></small></p>
