About

About Inova CATS Program

The Inova CATS Program – Comprehensive Addiction Treatment Services – operates from the Professional Services Building at 3300 Gallows Road in Falls Church, Virginia, the behavioral health hub of Inova Health System. Inova is Northern Virginia’s leading nonprofit healthcare provider, the U.S. News & World Report’s #1 ranked hospital in the state, and the 2025 Health System of the Year. CATS sits inside that broader infrastructure, giving patients access to medical resources that stand-alone addiction programs cannot match.

Clinically, CATS runs an inpatient medical detox unit alongside outpatient and intensive outpatient services and an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) confirmed by SAMHSA. The program is dual-accredited by the Joint Commission and CARF – among the most rigorous combinations of behavioral health credentials in the region. The clinical methodology centers on cognitive behavioral therapy, group and individual counseling, and medication-assisted treatment, with the hospital’s medical staff supporting complex withdrawal and co-occurring medical needs.

The CATS Program is led by Kristen Ceranic, RN, Interim Clinical Director, with Matthew Englefield as Manager of Behavioral Health. Together they oversee a team that serves a broad population: pregnant women in need of safe agonist therapy, young adults aged 18-25, older adults navigating chemical dependency alongside chronic disease, court-related referrals, HIV/AIDS-positive patients, and Deaf or Hard of Hearing clients supported with ASL services. Trauma and co-occurring mental health diagnoses are treated alongside the substance use disorder.

Financially, the program accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay. Reviewers rate the location 2.7 stars across more than 25 Google reviews, a reminder that hospital-based programs are often graded harshly even when clinical outcomes are strong. Admissions are handled through the CATS line at 703-776-7765, with referrals integrated into Inova’s broader behavioral health intake. CATS is one of the largest and most resourced addiction treatment programs in Fairfax County.

Financial assistance programs help ensure that cost does not become a barrier to receiving necessary medical detox services. The facility works with patients to identify coverage options and payment arrangements that make treatment accessible during crisis situations when immediate detox is needed.

Specialized Population Services

The program provides specialized medical detox services for pregnant women, requiring careful monitoring and modified withdrawal protocols to ensure maternal and fetal safety.
