About Inova Kellar Center – Fairfax, Virginia

The Inova Kellar Center (IKC) on Waples Mill Road in Fairfax, Virginia, is a satellite campus of the nonprofit Inova healthcare company. At the Fairfax IKC, they provide specialized behavioral health and therapy services for children and adolescents. Their services cover problems with alcohol or drug use and a wide array of other possible behavioral health or psychological difficulties as well as learning disabilities.

All of IKC’s care runs on an outpatient basis, but youth with the most intensive needs can undergo a partial hospitalization program (PHP) for substance use disorder (SUD) as well as for other co occurring psychiatric needs. The SUD version of their PHP is offered to minors between the ages of 12 and 18, and involves at least 20 hours per week, where the patient undergoes group work, individual and family therapy, and psychiatric treatment.

The primary goal of this PHP is to stabilize the lives of patients with dire needs. During this time, they’ll work with the patients and their families to establish a longer term recovery plan, work on the most critical problems, and start to cover relapse prevention strategies.

Their next level of care is their intensive outpatient SUD program (IOP). This program is designed for children and adolescents with a history of alcohol or substance use who can still attend school, as it’s built around after school attendance.

This program runs for three hours a day, three days per week, for around 12 to 18 weeks. During this time, participants engage in individual, group, and family therapy sessions as well as other workshops and group activities. The goal at this level of support is to establish and solidify relapse prevention plans and to help the youths develop positive coping methods.
