About this facility

Veterans Affairs Medical Center is a licensed detox provider in Washington, DC, listed in the SAMHSA treatment directory. Its team manages alcohol withdrawal, including the delirium tremens that can peak in the first two to four days. Benzodiazepine detox here is handled on a gradual, structured taper to prevent seizures rather than stopping abruptly. For opioid dependence it provides medically supervised detox, and it can pair that with medication to ease withdrawal. Methadone is available as part of medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. Buprenorphine (Suboxone) is offered to reduce opioid withdrawal and lower relapse and overdose risk. Stimulant detox focuses on rest, nutrition, and mental health support through the acute crash. Detox is available on an outpatient basis, so clients can withdraw while living at home with scheduled visits. The facility reports accepting Medicaid. Private health insurance is accepted. It serves young adults, adults, seniors.

Availability and current services change often. Call (888) 984-9911 and we will help you confirm openings, insurance, and next steps.
