Alpas Wellness

Alpas Wellness is an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Sterling, Virginia. Alpas Wellness offers treatment for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Named after the Tagalog word for breaking free, Alpas Wellness provides a continuum of personalized care for addiction recovery. Their levels of care include detox placement, day treatment (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and aftercare. Their plant-filled facility has natural light, quiet lounge and dining areas, and private spaces to reflect between sessions.

Medically Managed Care and Evidence-Based Therapies

Alpas Wellness begins treatment with an initial assessment and diagnosis of co-occurring mental health conditions, if present. They use a range of holistic and evidence-based therapies to treat addiction and co-occurring conditions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, contingency management, and experiential therapies. Clients receive a personalized treatment plan aligned with their diagnoses, recovery needs, and goals. A medical director, nurse practitioner, and nursing staff oversee care throughout.

Outpatient Care That Fits Around Daily Life

Clients live at home throughout treatment and keep their jobs, classes, and family routines. Day treatment (PHP) runs several hours a day for clients who need the structure of inpatient care without 24/7 monitoring. Their IOP meets three days a week, typically 9–12 hours, with group and individual sessions focused on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and practical life skills. Clients who need detox first are placed with a regional partner program and transition back to Alpas Wellness when they are ready.

A Space Designed to Heal

Alpas Wellness collaborated with the University of Pennsylvania Center for Neuroaesthetics (PCfN) to create a calming, restorative space to heal. Their Sterling facility features living plant walls, natural light, and quiet lounge and dining areas between sessions. Clients attend group, 1:1, and family therapy, and family services are available to loved ones during treatment. After treatment, clients can participate in aftercare including online follow-up sessions as needed.
