Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Aftercare

When you complete a treatment program, aftercare offers the ongoing support you need for long-term recovery. Aftercare may be provided in the form of support groups, continued individual counseling, housing assistance, or alumni clubs. These supports help prevent relapse and encourage success as you return to your workplace and community.

12-Step

12 Step programs in Washington, DC offer free, peer-based support for individuals who want to break free from addiction. Following the program involves regular attendance at support group meetings, obtaining a sponsor who offers individual support, and working through the 12 Steps of recovery.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Insurance

Our Policy: BHG Washington DC Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Humana

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug Addiction

It is possible to develop an addiction to legal or illegal substances. Fortunately, drug rehab programs in Washington, DC are available to treat all types of drug addiction. If you have become physically or psychologically dependent on any substance (addicted), this type of professional treatment program can help you break free.

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I have been at Good Hope Institute for almost 6 years, and in my opinion it's no better and no worse than any other methadone maintenance program. I've been on methadone maintenance for over 30 years and have been at many different facilities, so I believe I know a good one from a bad one. At GHI, you get from it what you put into it. If you want to get clean and stay clean you can; if you want maintenance you can do that, or you can detox. No one is getting rich from keeping someone on the program who doesn't want to be there. One thing you cannot do there is drift along continuing to get high and drinking methadone, and you cannot come in with a sense of entitlement or a nasty attitude and expect people to jump over hoops to do what you want. With all the addicts they're dealing with, and the turnover lately in staff yes, things can sometimes move a little slower than we'd like, but no where on earth are you going to get all your desires instantly! Sometimes you have to be patient, and this program is no different.GHI is not a bad clinic. Sometimes staff there have not been as caring as they could have been, and there have been those who had downright nasty attitudes. They're individual people though, they do not represent the whole clinic. If you want to get off opiates and you're not afraid to work to stay clean you can do it at Good Hope Institute.UPDATE: As of this year, 2019, Good Hope Institute no longer exists as such. They are a completely different clinic, run by completely different management and under a new system. Any of the posts from before, they're talking about a completely different clinic.And I still say if a person is willing to put the work in, they can get and remain clean just as well here as anywhere else.

This place doesn't care about you getting better you have to do that yourself the director Mr. Saddlewhite only cares about robbing medicaid and cash patients until I called the state methadone authority but I certainly haven't had any money reimbursed. If you can do it without support then go but don't expect them to care much about you.

Very bad place to go to want to keep you on meth as long as possible. Then when you want to leave they drag there feet. Mr Saddlewhite is nothing but a drug dealer I had to go to APRA TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM

A very poor service experience. The front desk receptionist is usually quick to snap at you and is almost always drinking lemonade, eating popcorn, reading the advertisements from the morning paper, and talking on her personal phone whilst checking you in or accepting your money. I attempted to call the clinic anonymously to find the appropriate means of filing a complaint and the front desk person (Ms. Turner) told me I needed to speak with a counselor first. I repeatedly asked for the appropriate means of contacting (directly) the person who would take charge of complaints. She began to scream and yell and made the comment, "Do you understand English!?!?" Once again, I was at a loss with this clinic.I was assigned the wrong counselor. Out of fear of being further treated poorly, I will refrain from using the counselor's name. However the counselor has worked against me from day one. I'm typically very very cautious to bring race into the picture, but my gut tells me that it may have to do with the fact that I'm white and full of questions.... at the same time my head tells me I have nothing concrete and tangible to prove such a claim.My recommendation is that if you are TRULY the kind of person that wishes to seek treatment to ween yourself off of opiates, please please find a different program to go to. It has been my experience that this "for profit" program tries to keep you on the methadone for as long as possible as opposed to gradually weening you off of your dependency.There are a number of other methadone programs in the DC area. Please choose any of the others. Do not go to the Good Hope Institute.
