About Inova CATS Program Inpatient Detox

Inova CATS Program Inpatient Detox is a medically supervised detox and residential treatment facility located at 3300 Gallows Road in Falls Church, Virginia, within Fairfax County. Operated under the Inova health system, one of Northern Virginia’s largest hospital networks, it functions as a 24-hour inpatient detox center serving Falls Church, Fairfax County, and the broader Northern Virginia region. Its dual accreditation by the Joint Commission (JCAHO) and CARF, combined with a certified Opioid Treatment Program designation, sets it apart from freestanding outpatient clinics in the area.

The facility offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. The inpatient detox level provides around-the-clock withdrawal management in a medically supervised environment, available every day of the year. Residential treatment extends structured clinical support beyond the acute detox phase, while the outpatient program offers a step-down option for patients transitioning back to daily life.

Clinically, the program addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, meaning patients dealing with trauma or PTSD receive treatment for those conditions as part of their care. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a confirmed therapeutic method used within the program. The Opioid Treatment Program certification reflects a structured, protocol-driven approach to opioid-related withdrawal management.

Inova CATS serves a broad range of adults, including men, women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, and pregnant women. The program also provides support for individuals living with HIV/AIDS and accommodates those who are deaf or hard of hearing. Financially, the center accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, making medically supervised detox accessible to a wide cross-section of Northern Virginia residents facing urgent withdrawal needs.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Northern Virginia

Inova CATS Program Inpatient Detox provides medically supervised detox at its Falls Church facility, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As part of the Inova health system, the program brings hospital-grade oversight to the withdrawal management process — a meaningful distinction for patients whose medical complexity requires more than a freestanding residential setting can safely offer.

The facility holds an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification, reflecting structured clinical protocols for opioid-related withdrawal management. Patients in Fairfax County and across Northern Virginia who need inpatient detox with continuous medical supervision have direct access to this level of care without leaving the region.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Outpatient Treatment

The program offers a full continuum across three levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. This structure allows patients to move from acute withdrawal management into longer-term residential support, and eventually to outpatient programming, without transferring to an entirely different provider — a practical advantage during an already disruptive period.

Residential treatment at the facility addresses substance use alongside co-occurring conditions, including dual diagnosis presentations involving Trauma and PTSD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is integrated into treatment, providing a clinically grounded framework for the residential and outpatient phases of care.

Who the Inova CATS Program Serves

Inova CATS accepts a wide range of adult patients across genders and age groups, including young adults (18–25), seniors, and pregnant women. The program also serves individuals living with HIV/AIDS and offers accommodations for those who are deaf or hard of hearing — accessibility features that many detox programs in Northern Virginia do not specifically confirm.

On the financial side, accepted payment includes Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. The inclusion of Medicare and TRICARE is particularly notable for older adults and military-affiliated individuals in Fairfax County who are seeking medically supervised detox with compatible coverage.

Accreditation and Program Certification

Inova CATS Program Inpatient Detox carries accreditation from both the Joint Commission (JCAHO) and CARF — two of the most recognized independent oversight bodies in behavioral health and addiction treatment. Holding both simultaneously signals consistent adherence to clinical and operational standards across the program's levels of care.

In addition to these accreditations, the facility's Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) certification is a federally regulated designation that governs how opioid use disorder and withdrawal are managed within the program. For families in Northern Virginia researching inpatient detox options, these credentials provide an independent reference point beyond the facility's own materials.
