I brought my suicidal friend to the ER last night. She was admitted to the psych unit this morning. She did not see a psychiatrist and has no idea when she might, a nurse told her to stop crying and get a better attitude, a nurse responded "I don't know" when my friend asked how she could feel better when she couldn't get help, and they forgot to order her dinner. Her fellow patients have let her know this is standard treatment. She is more suicidal now than ever, and I have no idea what to do.

Abusive nurses. Not safe for immune compromised patients. ER nurse was hostile toward immunocompromised patient that couldn't unmask during a surge of respiratory illness and called security on them, refused to take temperature any other way and didn't let them talk to their doctor.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

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.

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

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.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

During my stay at Sibley, October 2-11, 2024, I had great doctors and nurses who saved my life during my stay. A few of the many stand out. My nurse in intensive care was Hailey K, on the 5th floor, nurse Julia Haack, also nurse Sunday U and the doctors and surgeons who never gave up. I wish I could remember all of your names. Thank you all!

This review pertains to the ER department only. I have been extremely disappointed every time I've visited this hospital. You could be at death's door, and their physicians will still release you and tell you to go home and follow up with your primary care doctor without thoroughly checking what has caused the issue.Most recently, I was referred here by my primary care doctor due to a condition that required immediate medical attention. The wait times for specialists in D.C. can be months or even years one specialist doesn t have openings until December 2025! Unfortunately, my condition was not addressed, and I left without any medications or solid advice. My primary care doctor s referral was essentially ignored.I will say that the wait times at this location are usually better than at GW or MedStar, and the attending staff were kind on this particular visit, but that s about all I can praise.

I had an exceptional experience at Sibley Memorial Hospital last weekend while traveling back from Virginia with my friend, who suddenly experienced severe pain and required emergency medical attention. From the moment we arrived, the level of care and professionalism was extraordinary.Miss Washington at the reception desk greeted us with compassion and efficiency, setting a reassuring tone right from the start. The emergency room staff responded immediately, providing a wheelchair and ensuring my friend received the necessary care without delay.I would especially like to express my gratitude to Ms. Donita Montgomery, whose dedication and passion for her work were truly evident. Her commitment to patient care made a significant difference during a stressful situation, and her warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression.Thank you, Sibley Memorial Hospital, for your outstanding care and compassion. Your team s dedication is deeply appreciated.

Nurse throws corp policy in our face!This isn t a post of me trying to be right, I was procedurally not. It is about the lack of human compassion during a quiet time.Sept 12: I arrive to see my father in the ER after his community informed me of being sent to Sibley. My father is elderly and has dementia. Unfortunately, he was also diagnosed with having Covid. After arrival and getting updates, I explain that I love my dad, but have a 3 and 6 yo and wife that has a major event end of month May I sit just outside the room. Absolutely, that s being a good father. I sit outside, and not 5 min later, another nurse rushes up you are John right? you are not allowed to sit there . After explaining what I explained to first nurse it s protocol. We need to keep this clear IF we need to place a patient in our quadrant of the ER, three open cleaned rooms and no one in any of the areas she noted. I offer that I would be happy to move when that time comes no sir, you must sit inside with your father. There is enough room in there for you to separate bc you both have masks on anyways .The complaint isn t against policy, they are there for the greater good. It s of the enforcement a hospital that put the corporation before the person.
