In an exciting and critical step forward for the thousands of children in the Northern Virginia and DC area struggling with addiction and mental health challenges, Recovery Unplugged Behavioral Health has launched its very first adolescent treatment program at its Annandale location. The program will provide expert, personalized care tailored to address the unique challenges faced by teenagers that lead to addiction and mental illness.
ANNANDALE, Va., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Offering a proven, evidence-based, and compassionate model of treatment for teenagers between 14 and 17 years of age, Recovery Unplugged has designed this initiative to not only help adolescents who have already fallen into a pattern of substance use, self-harm, and mental health challenges but also to help those who are vulnerable to escalation of these issues.
"In a time when fentanyl is leading to record high overdose deaths among teenagers, and an epidemic of mental illness has gripped adolescents across the country, we need to do everything we can to be proactive in caring for and supporting these kids," says David Engwall, MS, LPC, Executive Director of Recovery Unplugged Northern Virginia. "We're hoping this program will help reverse course and give teenagers the access to treatment they need to overcome these extraordinary challenges."
While the program is currently only accessible virtually, Recovery Unplugged plans to integrate it into its in-person care model as soon as possible. It is currently covered by multiple insurance providers, including but not limited to Aetna (Medicaid and commercial), Cigna, Carefirst, and PP/SS.
Patients can enroll now and will also have access to nurse and case management coordination for continuity of care.
