Howard University Hospital provides a range of treatment options designed to support recovery at different stages. Detoxification services help patients safely manage withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, which is often the critical first step toward recovery. The facility offers outpatient treatment programs, allowing patients to receive care while maintaining their daily responsibilities at work, school, or home. Additionally, Howard University Hospital utilizes buprenorphine treatment, a medication-assisted therapy proven effective for opioid use disorder that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive personalized care tailored to their specific substance abuse treatment needs.
Howard University Hospital accepts multiple forms of payment to ensure treatment remains accessible. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, and private health insurance plans, and also offers self-pay options for uninsured patients. Under the Mental Health Parity Act, most insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment with the same benefits as other medical conditions, meaning your addiction treatment should receive equitable coverage. Cost should never be a barrier to recovery—the facility's financial team can work with you to explore payment options and maximize your coverage.
