Mainspring Recovery

Dual-Intensity Residential Care in One Location

Mainspring Recovery provides both high- and low-intensity residential treatment under one roof, allowing clients to adjust treatment plans based on their needs, without transferring facilities. This continuity supports a smoother and more stable recovery process. Housed in a newly remodeled facility in Dumfries, Virginia, the environment is designed to support clinical focus while reducing distractions.

Broad Onsite Access to Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)

The program offers an extensive array of medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Unlike many programs that require offsite coordination, Mainspring prescribes medications onsite, offering medically supervised withdrawal support and long-term maintenance therapy. This range of MAT options helps tailor care to the needs of individuals navigating opioid or alcohol use disorders.

Specialized Tracks for High-Need Populations

Mainspring offers designated tracks for clients who often face additional challenges in accessing care, including individuals living with HIV/AIDS, those with co-occurring mental health or pain disorders, and people with histories of trauma or domestic violence. The facility also provides tailored programming for veterans and active-duty military, with staff trained to address the unique needs tied to service-related experiences.

Integrated Case Management and Community Support

Beyond clinical services, Mainspring helps clients address real-life barriers to recovery through case management, housing support, and assistance obtaining social services. This approach connects clients to the broader resources they may need to build stability after treatment. Discharge planning begins early and includes outcome follow-up to support longer-term engagement and recovery.

Holistic and Evidence-Based Recovery Model

In addition to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and group therapy, the program integrates holistic and skills-building services. Clients have access to mindfulness training, meditative therapy, and SMART Recovery workshops, along with life skills education and contingency management techniques, strategies that reward progress and foster accountability. These elements help clients develop practical tools for long-term recovery.
