About FMTC – Fairfax Methadone Treatment Center – Annandale
Fairfax Methadone Treatment Center (FMTC) in Annandale, Virginia, provides private outpatient opioid addiction treatment for adult men and women aged 18 and older. They’re part of a family of outpatient centers located throughout Virginia and North Carolina.
Annandale is located just 30 minutes from D.C. It is a great place for opioid treatment thanks to its accessible healthcare resources and strong community support networks. Many clients say smaller clinics like this one offer a more personal and compassionate approach to care. FMTC provides a welcome alternative to the overwhelming and impersonal experience of big-city clinics.
When someone needs help with opioid use, experience really matters. The location in Annandale has been helping people with medication assisted treatment (MAT) since 1992. They’ve helped thousands of clients overcome addiction, many with challenges similar to yours. Most clients have found that getting treatment here is easy and completely confidential. Federal regulations prohibit them from sharing any information about treatment without your written permission.
It’s not unusual to worry about paying for treatment but they try to make things less overwhelming for clients. Treatment costs here are generally much lower than inpatient or other private outpatient programs in the Annandale area. The business office can provide information about fees and insurance claims. They may also work with local agencies to offer short term financial help for clients who qualify.
In the MAT program here, they use methadone. Methadone therapy can be a good option, whether you need detox or long term maintenance. Detox programs can last 30 days to six months. Long term maintenance offers ongoing recovery support. Treatment is personalized based on your unique needs.
Methadone is an important part of treatment but it’s only a small part of recovery. The right individual and group counseling can make a big difference in how successful you are in recovery. Even if it feels intimidating at first, the caring staff here works hard to create a space for clients to work through challenges.
After detox and methadone therapy, clients can continue recovery with free AfterCare counseling. There’s no time limit to AfterCare but they do require regular drug screenings. Screenings can feel like an extra step but they’re there to support your recovery and keep you focused on living drug-free.
