Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board Alert:
The Addiction Medicine Clinic (AMC) provides medication for addiction treatment to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
Medications are offered in an outpatient setting (care that is offered without an overnight stay) for people living with substance use disorders. For opioid use disorder, treatments include Suboxone (buprenorphine) and Sublocade. Medications to treat alcohol use disorder include Vivitrol/naltrexone.
Medication is given by skilled health care providers who treat addiction as a disease. Research shows that medication-assisted treatment (also called MAT) is more successful than abstinence-only models.
AMC Urgent Care offers walk-in, same-day services for people seeking medication-assisted treatment. These services include admission to AMC/OBAT and medication management, making it easier and faster to begin recovery.
Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) uses a team to provide broad support.
Telehealth and in-person appointments are available and chosen based on your needs.
AMC services are available to adults ages 18 and older who live in Fairfax County and would like to take medication for addiction treatment.
Cost is not a barrier to treatment. AMC accepts:
AMC services are available at multiple locations. This makes it easier for people to access services who live in different parts of Fairfax County.
The main clinic is located on the first floor of The Sharon Bulova Center for Community Health with services by appointment Monday – Thursday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Walk-in services are offered on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Northwest Center in Reston and Gartlan Center in Alexandria also have limited AMC clinics for people who have been receiving AMC services.
