  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.

Fairfax - Adolescents

As a parent or caregiver the thought of enrolling your child into a drug rehab center can be overwhelming and frightening. Sadly, just like adults, adolescents become addicted to drugs and alcohol and need professional treatment in order to stop using. Due to their young age it is not an option for them to attend a traditional drug treatment facility. Many specialized and age appropriate drug rehabilitation centers have been created to focus on adolescents and their distinct requirements pertaining to drug addiction treatment. Substance abuse professionals who are trained in youth counseling and therapy are able to work with your adolescent child and guide them through their recovery process.
