The receptionist has very poor customer service. Arrived at the appointment time, and the door was locked, but she sat at the desk on her phone, watching for 3-5 minutes before actually opening the door. Then, when asking questions, it was continuous eye rolls and a tone like she didn't want to be bothered.There was no greating of any form. She did the intake while texting the entire time. And then got up and walked away saying "you're done now". This isn't the kind of service that institutions like these should be providing to people seeking help.

Jillian - On behalf of our whole team I apologize for the uncomfortable experience you had with our staff. We always strive to interact with our neighbors in a professional and friendly manner, and we clearly failed with you. We do not tolerate this inexcusable behavior from anyone on our team. The staff member in question is being reprimanded, with a clear written warning that a repeat of such behaviour will cause immediate termination. Give us a chance to show you how our team members conduct themselves, you will not be dissapointed. Should you have any concerns, the name and contact information for the person in charge of receiving them and acting to resolve them is posted on several signs throught our offices. Again, my apologies. Manuel Celaya, Executive Director

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
inpatient iconInpatient
If you need a high level of supervision and intensive addiction treatment, inpatient rehab is available in Washington, DC. This level of treatment involves 24-hour care and typically lasts 30, 60, or 90 days. During inpatient rehab, you'll live at the facility and may participate in group and individual therapy, medication assisted treatment, and peer support programs such as AA.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Washington, DC is ideal for those who need a high level of care but also want to live at home while completing a recovery program. You'll attend several hours of treatment multiple days per week, then return home at night. The program may include group and individual counseling, holistic care, medication assisted treatment, and recovery education.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
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.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

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 was looking for mental services for my brother but I had to look for another organization because the receptionists are bitter, they don't know what ethics are, they don't know how to say things in a nice way, THEY ARE DISGUSTING.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Dear Mrs. Yesica Mart�nez: We are greatly surprised by your comment, because in 28 years of providing services to our community in Washington, this is the first time we have received a complaint about the front desk staff.� Furthermore, we are dismayed that you write about receptionists in the plural, assuming that you spoke with more than one person and they all treated you with bitterness, without kindness or ethics, and with disgust. I personally spoke today with the receptionists, who have been with us for years, and none of them remember having spoken with you, or with any lady looking for services for her brother.� Perhaps you dialed a number that does not correspond to us.� Our number is (202) 234-6855. As we are here to serve all our neighbors, I tell you that, if your brother is a minor, we only serve adults, but we will gladly tell you where you can go to care for minors.� If your brother is an adult, I tell him that he is the one who should make the call, or alternatively, that he be on the line with you.� As a first step, we are happy to connect you with the DC government's Department of Mental Health (DBH) service access line.�Once you pass the filter of the requirements to receive services, we or any DBH-licensed provider that you choose, can provide you with services. If you need help, let us give it to you.� You can call the office at any time and ask to speak with Yessica. Best regards, Manuel Celaya Executive Director Estimada Se�ora Yesica Mart�nez: Nos sorprende enormemente su comentario, pues en 28 a�os prestando servicios a nuestra comunidad en Washington, es la primera vez que recibimos una queja sobre el personal que atiende la recepci�n.� Adem�s, nos consterna que usted escribe sobre recepcionistas en plural, dejando por hecho que usted habl� con m�s de una persona y todas la trataron con amargura, sin amabilidad ni �tica, y con repugnancia. Yo personalmente habl� hoy con las recepcionistas, que llevan a�os con nosotros, y ninguna recuerda haber hablado con usted, ni con alguna se�ora en busca de servicios para su hermano.� Quiz�s usted marc� un n�mero que no nos corresponde.� Nuestro n�mero es (202) 234-6855. Como estamos para servirle a todos nuestros vecinos, le comento que, si su hermano es menor de edad, nosotros atendemos solo adultos, pero con gusto le indicamos a donde se puede dirigir para atenci�n a menores.� Si su hermano es adulto, le comento que �l es quien debe hacer la llamada, o como alternativa que est� en la l�nea con usted.� Como primer paso, con gusto los conectamos con la l�nea de acceso a servicios del Departamento de Salud Mental (DBH) del gobierno de DC.�Una vez se pase el filtro de los requisitos para recibir servicios, nosotros o cualquier proveedor licenciado por DBH que ustedes escojan, les puede brindar servicios. Si necesita ayuda, perm�tanos brind�rsela.� Puede cuando quiera, llamar a la oficina y pedir hablar con Yessica. Cordial saludo, Manuel Celaya Director Ejecutivo
