Treatment facilities in District of Columbia

What the District of Columbia Treatment Landscape Looks Like

SAMHSA's N-SUMHSS record lists 35 treatment facilities operating across 1 city in District of Columbia. 89% of facilities (31 sites) report substance-use treatment and 20% (7 sites) report mental-health treatment, these are not mutually exclusive categories, many facilities report both, so the two figures do not sum to the total facility count. Care modalities are unevenly distributed: 20% of facilities report residential beds, 86% run outpatient programs, 14% offer medically supervised detox, and 86% provide telehealth options, which matters a lot for rural counties where driving to a brick-and-mortar site is a real barrier.

Medication-Assisted Treatment availability is a critical signal for people seeking evidence-based opioid or alcohol use care. In District of Columbia, 13 of 35 facilities (37%) report providing MAT, methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone combined with counseling. Payment accessibility is equally important: 32 facilities (91%) accept Medicaid, which is the primary payer for most lower-income adults seeking behavioral-health care. When a state shows a low Medicaid-acceptance share, the practical cost burden on families looking for treatment rises sharply even when the raw facility count looks generous.

Facility count vs. MAT availability, do they track together? By raw facility count, District of Columbia ranks #52 of 55 states and territories. By share of facilities offering MAT, it ranks #42 of 55. That's a 10-place gap, a large facility count does not by itself mean MAT is easy to find here; MAT availability here outpaces what the raw facility count alone would predict.
