Loudoun County Mental Health Center

About Loudoun County Mental Health Center

Loudoun County Mental Health Center in Leesburg, Virginia, operates under the county’s Department of Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Developmental Services, a public agency serving local residents with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, and developmental or intellectual disabilities. For substance use, they deliver outpatient treatment to individuals and families, and every person begins with an assessment that looks at several areas of life to recommend the right level of care. When more intensive help is needed, they arrange detox, short-term intensive outpatient, or residential treatment through contracted community providers. The department also offers crisis intervention and stabilization, psychiatric services, and discharge planning.

Outpatient care includes individual, group, couples, and family therapy built around skill-based and evidence-based approaches matched to each person’s goals. Targeted case management uses a person-centered, strength-based team approach to connect clients with the services they need. Through partner providers, clients can access medication-assisted treatment to ease withdrawal, reduce cravings, and lower the risk of relapse and overdose tied to opioids or alcohol, along with socially or medically managed withdrawal programs. Beyond addiction care, the department runs intensive community treatment, employment and day support, prevention and intervention programs, and a second clinic in Sterling.
