Arlington County Behavioral Healthcare

Arlington County Behavioral Healthcare is a public substance use treatment program in Arlington, Virginia providing adults with coordinated access to outpatient addiction care and mental health services.

Their approach emphasizes low barrier entry with community based support and integrated care for substance use and co-occurring conditions.

MAT and Addiction Counseling

Treatment begins with Same Day Access which is a walk-in eligibility assessment that connects clients to mental health and substance use services without a prior appointment.

From there clients may enter outpatient treatment or be linked to contracted withdrawal management, residential treatment, or transitional living placements based on need.

Clients can expect case management, nursing health screens, and medication assisted treatment induction for alcohol or opioid dependence along with naloxone training. Jail based assessment, early intervention, and aftercare linkage are also available for justice involved adults.
