About Clean & Sober Street
Clean and Sober Streets provides long-term residential and outpatient treatment for men and women affected by substance use disorders (SUD) in Washington, DC. They provide low-cost treatment options for the socially disadvantaged including the homeless and incarcerated. These vulnerable individuals often face medical and legal issues but lack the education or skills to improve their situation. Clean and Sober Streets gives them a second chance at a healthy and productive life through quality and personalized treatment.
Their phased residential treatment doesn’t just help you overcome substance misuse but equips you with vocational and educational skills to thrive. The first phase of their initial 30-day residential care involves detoxification and high-intensity residential therapy. Detox basically removes addiction-related toxins from your body so you can respond to the main therapy. Their inpatient therapy integrates evidence-based models with 12-step practices and holistic treatment. Services include counseling and group therapy, nutritional and physical rebuilding and 12-step work.
You’ll also participate in educational seminars and lectures that may teach you the disease aspect of substance misuse and recovery strategies. Experiential activities like art and music, yoga and poetry are also an important component of this phase of their treatment.
The second phase of the program involves a continuation of the counseling and therapy group from the initial phase. Emphasis is on developing a sense of identity, spirituality and sociability that inspires sober living. You’ll gain valuable educational and vocational skills that prepare you for a stable career after graduation. This includes GED training, computer literacy and job placement. This phase also includes art therapy, physical fitness/gym and more.
Counseling and group work continue in the third phase. During this period you may regain employment and participate in off-site education and vocational training. It’s expected that at the fourth or last phase you’ll be employed and prepared for reentry into the community with housing assistance and transitional counseling.
The facility also offers an intensive three-month general and intensive outpatient treatment program. Both are very flexible treatment options that let you continue your full-time job while receiving addiction therapy. Services include individual and group counseling and case management. The latter may involve care coordination, client advocacy and connection to community resources like housing support.

Treatments
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.
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.
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 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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one).

Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.
