🕰️ Falling Back — and Taking Care 🍁
As we “fall back” and gain an extra hour this weekend, it’s a good reminder that time changes can affect more than just our clocks — they can impact our mood, sleep, and overall wellbeing.
Shorter days and longer nights can bring challenges for many of us, in particular navigating mental health and/or substance use recovery. The shift in daylight can disrupt routines, lower energy, and even intensify feelings of isolation.
This makes self-care especially important right now:
💡 Get outside during daylight hours — even a short walk can boost mood.
🛏️ Keep consistent sleep and meal times to support your body’s rhythm.
💬 Reach out — to friends, peers, treatment or a recovery community — connection is key.
☕ Be gentle with yourself; change, even small, can take adjustment.
Recovery and wellness is not about perfection — it is about awareness, compassion, and taking small steps toward balance. As the clocks turn back, let’s remember to give ourselves the grace to rest, reflect, and recharge.
Encore Outpatient Services offers evaluations, Intensive Outpatient and General Outpatient levels of care in addition to individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation/medication management, family/loved one support group (virtual), case management supports and alumni support group (virtual). Please do not hesitate to reach out to our Admissions Specialist, Javon Trice at (703) 436-8158 or jtrice@encorerecovery.com.

5 Signs You May Need Outpatient Substance Use Treatment
Substance use challenges don’t necessarily look the same — and you don’t have to “hit rock bottom” to need or seek out support. Outpatient treatment can offer support, structure, and recovery tools while allowing you to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities.
Here are five signs to consider when thinking about outpatient substance use treatment:
💭 You’re thinking about cutting back — but can’t seem to stick with it.
You’ve noticed your use increasing or becoming harder to control, despite good intentions to slow down.
⚖️ Substance use is affecting your work, relationships, or health.
Even small changes — missed deadlines, conflict with loved ones, or declining physical wellness — can signal a need for support.
🕒 You spend more time using or recovering than you’d like to admit.
When substances start to take up significant time or mental space, it’s worth exploring treatment options.
😔 You’ve tried to quit on your own — but keep returning to old habits.
Relapse doesn’t mean failure. It’s often a sign that additional structure and professional help could make a difference.
💬 You’re ready to make a change — but don’t know where to start.
Outpatient programs can meet you where you are, providing counseling, peer support, and a plan that fits your life.

Proud to stand together for change! 💙

Today, Encore Outpatient Services and Caron Treatment Centers were honored to sponsor and participate in the Shatterproof Walk in Washington, D.C. — joining hundreds of others united in the mission to end the stigma of addiction and support recovery for all.

It’s inspiring to see our community come together in hope, healing, and solidarity. Every step taken today brings us closer to a world where recovery is celebrated and everyone has access to the care they deserve.

IFS and Substance Use: A Compassionate Lens
At Encore we have a trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist who is providing treatment in both individual therapy as well as weaving concepts of IFS into group therapy as well. IFS has taught us that substance use isn’t just about willpower — it’s often a coping strategy. In Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, these behaviors are seen as “parts” working hard to protect us from pain.
Instead of shaming or suppressing, IFS helps us meet these parts with curiosity and compassion. For clients, this reduces shame and opens space for healing. For therapists, it offers a powerful framework to build trust and support lasting change.
Recovery in IFS isn’t about controlling a behavior — it’s about reconnecting with the Self, the calm and compassionate core within each person. From here, new choices and deeper healing become possible.
✨ In IFS, every part is welcome.

💡Supporting long-term recovery with real-world tools, community connection, and clinical depth.

📍 Located in Arlington, VA, Encore offers a full continuum of outpatient primary substance use disorder services — meeting individuals where they are and walking with them toward where they want to be.

Because healing should be more than surviving — it should be transformational.

Fresh Start. Focused Mind. One Day at a Time.
It’s Monday — the start of a new week, and another opportunity to move forward with clarity, strength, and purpose.
Recovery isn’t just about saying no to what once was. It’s about saying yes to what’s possible.
Yes to growth.
Yes to healing.
Yes to progress — however small it may seem.
Every week is a blank page.
Every day is a new sentence.
And every choice is part of your comeback story.
If you’re walking the recovery path — whether quietly or out loud — you are not alone. Stay focused. Stay grounded.

🌱 Sustaining Long-Term Recovery: Growth, Not Perfection 🌱
Recovery is not a destination—it is a lifelong commitment to growth, healing, self-love and self-awareness. While milestones are important, what sustains recovery over the long term is consistency, connection, and the courage to seek support when it’s needed.

Here are some key warning signs that it might be time to reach out and reconnect with your support system:
• You’re withdrawing from people or isolating
• You’re experiencing increased stress, anxiety, or depression, out of the blue or life stressors
• Cravings or thoughts of using are more frequent or intense
• You’re skipping recovery meetings, therapy, or healthy routines
• You notice old patterns resurfacing—like dishonesty, impulsivity, or secrecy
Relapse does not happen in a moment—it builds in silence. The earlier we acknowledge the warning signs, the more power we have to prevent it. Whether you’ve been in recovery for 6 months or 6 years, support is strength—not a setback.

Let’s normalize check-ins, peer support, and asking for help without shame. Recovery is not about never struggling—it’s about showing up for yourself even when you do.

📞 If you or someone you love is in need of outpatient treatment for substance use/co-occurring disorders please reach out to our Admissions Specialist, Javon Trice at (703) 436-8158 or by email at jtrice@encorerecovery.com.
Effective July 1, 2025 Encore now accepts Optum/UHC in-network for our IOP level of care.
Feel free to share what helps you stay grounded in your recovery journey.

On December 5th, Encore Outpatient’s team gathered for the remote viewing of the celebration of life for Rev. Jack Abel, Caron’s Spiritual Care Team Leader.

For more than 15 years at Caron, Rev. Jack touched many lives with his kindness, wisdom, love, and unwavering dedication to our community, offering guidance and support through so many of life’s moments. He was a champion for our patients and their families and for the role of spirituality in recovery because he understood that recovery is rooted in healing the spiritual pain caused by addiction. His legacy of faith, love and service will remain a part of who we are and will continue to live on in all our hearts - inspiring hope, healing, and strength for generations to come.
