National Capital Trt and Recovery - Independence House

Residential Care Focused on Stability

Independence House offers low-intensity residential treatment for adult men and women in Arlington, Virginia. The program provides a safe, sober living environment where residents can continue recovery while working toward supportive employment and stable housing. Around-the-clock care ensures consistency and accountability during this stage of treatment.

Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Services

Treatment is grounded in trauma-informed practices and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, twelve-step facilitation, anger management, and the Matrix Model. Services include individual and group counseling, psychoeducation, and family involvement when appropriate. Residents also have access to health education, HIV and hepatitis counseling, and screenings for physical health concerns.

County Partnerships and Medication Support

The program coordinates closely with Arlington County resources for mental health services, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and case management. Medication options may include buprenorphine, naltrexone, disulfiram, and acamprosate, along with support for co-occurring mental health needs. Integrated primary care services and suicide-prevention programming extend the scope of support, connecting treatment with broader healthcare needs.

Practical Supports in an Urban Setting

Beyond clinical care, Independence House addresses barriers that can impact long-term recovery. Residents receive transportation assistance for essential appointments and services. Recovery support includes peer mentoring, housing services, self-help groups, and employment counseling or training. Located in a city environment, the program offers proximity to community resources and opportunities, helping people transition from treatment to stable, independent living.
