List of Drug Rehabs with Partial Hospitalization Programs in the District of Columbia and Surrounding States
Unfortunately, there are not any partial hospitalization programs in the District of Columbia. To help you find the treatment you need, we have included additional partial hospitalization rehab services in the surrounding states. While this may be inconvenient, being away from home can be therapeutic. Not being close to where someone is using drugs and alcohol can help focus on their recovery. The list can be incomplete so please do not hesitate to contact a treatment specialist at 1-800-304-2219.

A partial hospitalization program is a substance abuse treatment level of care that’s a step above outpatient but a step down from inpatient treatment. The patient sleeps at home in a partial hospitalization program, much like in an outpatient program. But they are there longer, and the schedule is more intensive than outpatient treatment. For example, partial hospitalization programs are scheduled for 5 to 7 days a week, whereas outpatient services are usually only a few days per week.
Partial hospitalization programs are appropriate when the patient doesn’t quite need the level of care provided by an inpatient program but may not find enough support from outpatient care. Partial hospitalization allows access to services that outpatient programs may not offer, such as medical care and detox management. If someone may need these services but doesn’t need 24-hour care to prevent relapse or manage symptoms, they may be a good candidate for partial hospitalization.
After completing partial hospitalization treatment, many patients step down to outpatient care. Often, patients begin treatment at the inpatient level of care and step down to partial hospitalization next, then eventually to outpatient treatment. This progression helps ensure they’re getting support while transitioning to independence in recovery. But in some cases, partial hospitalization may be the only level of care needed.
