About Us
Our Mission is
RECOVERY
Center for Behavioral Health was established so that Northern Virginia, Maryland, and the entire DC metro area could benefit from a full service addiction treatment and behavioral health modification facility. Our mission is to understand all of the Co-Occuring disorders present so we can provide treatment to a larger portion of our client’s lives. We have proven that our treatment philosophy promotes recovery, resillience, health, and the highest possible level of participation in the community.
We intend to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by co-occuring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders by ensuring access to clinically sound treatment that benefits those in our community and nation.
