Questions people ask about Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services
What levels of care does Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Fairfax is set up for.
Is detox part of what Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Falls Church, under a mile away.
Can a 16 year old be treated at Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services?
They take under 18s, alongside young adults from 18 to 25, adults from 26 to 64 and adults over 65, which in Fairfax is worth confirming before you drive over.
Does Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services treat depression too?
They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Fairfax has 8 other centers if this one cannot.
Is treatment available in Spanish at Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services?
They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Fairfax are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.
Which medications does Fairfax/Falls Church Comm Servs Board - Merrifield Adult and Youth Services prescribe?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Fairfax.
Will they take my medication away?
The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
Will my plan pay for rehab?
The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. Two centers can quote very different amounts against the same plan, which is reason enough to check more than one. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.
