Washington Hospital Center is a comprehensive addiction and mental health treatment facility located at 216 Michigan Avenue NE in Washington, DC. Serving individuals across the District and surrounding areas, the center specializes in evidence-based care for substance abuse, alcohol addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Whether you're seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, Washington Hospital Center provides compassionate, professional support tailored to your unique recovery needs.
Washington Hospital Center offers multiple levels of care designed to meet patients at different stages of recovery. Outpatient treatment allows individuals to receive therapy and counseling while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. Partial hospitalization and day treatment programs provide intensive therapeutic services during the day, with patients returning home in the evenings—ideal for those needing structured support without full residential admission. The facility also specializes in co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, recognizing that addiction often exists alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other conditions requiring integrated treatment. Additionally, Washington Hospital Center serves seniors and older adults, DUI and DWI offenders, and criminal justice-involved clients, ensuring specialized programming for these populations' distinct needs.
Washington Hospital Center accepts a wide range of insurance plans and payment options to ensure treatment accessibility. The facility works with Medicaid, Medicare, private health insurance, military insurance (VA/Tricare), and state-financed programs, as well as self-payment arrangements. Most insurance plans are required by law to cover substance abuse and mental health treatment at the same level as medical care under the Mental Health Parity Act, meaning your addiction treatment should be covered with the same benefits as any other health condition. Financial barriers should never prevent you from getting the help you need.
