Adult Substance Abuse Program (SAP)
The Adult Substance Abuse Program is a dedicated program ready to help those individuals in need. We are conveniently located in Northern Virginia. This SAP was developed for people who are new to recovery or who are returning after a relapse. Prince William County residents will find our location conveniently in Gainesville, Virginia.
The SAP is appropriate for individuals who have made poor decisions around alcohol and/or other drugs repeatedly. The group focuses on education about the disease process, recovery tasks, and relapse prevention planning. The group is designed to develop skills to deal with tasks that are part of the early recovery process and to develop skills for relapse prevention. This program is also appropriate for those individuals who have completed a more intensive program and are in need of an aftercare program. The group focuses on assuming personal responsibility by making good choices as well as using the tools needed to stay on track with recovery.
The Adult SAP offers support up to two nights a week for adults with substance abuse problems. Our goal is to provide support and education for clients without them having to leave their jobs and families.
The program utilizes a step down approach, which focuses directly on the role of alcohol and drugs as they relate to problem feelings and behaviors and how problems can be solved without the use of drugs or alcohol.
Participants receive intensive education and support throughout the SAP. The curriculum is designed to help participants increase their motivation to abstain from their drug of choice and to establish a recovery program for themselves.
The program addresses the needs of a whole range of adult clients whose substance use has caused problems in their lives and the lives of those who care about them. It is designed to treat alcohol and drug abuse problems no matter who needs the program or why.

The SAP meets at least two times a week giving the participants a chance to make significant progress each time they attend group. The SAP provides enough group and individual time for all the clients to experience intensive outpatient support while still living at home and maintaining employment.

Most of the work is done in a group setting. Groups include education about alcohol and drugs, how to recover and how to maintain recovery. Individual sessions are available for clients who need one-on-one contact with the therapist.
There is also assistance with learning about community and other types of self help groups such as AA, NA, CA, Al-Anon, Families Anonymous, etc. This type of support is often important to help maintain long-term life changes that will be gained in the SAP.
Our groups are "open" which means clients may start at almost any time. The client will be able to start within a day or two of the initial phone call. The program is currently accepting clients.
The cost of the SAP is very competitive with other programs in the area. Most major insurance plans are accepted. The cost is far less than the cost of inpatient, residential treatment or an intensive outpatient program.
