About McClendon Center

Located in Washington, D.C., McClendon Center offers a day program that provides addiction treatment. Clients can receive these services in person or virtually. The treatments available include group, trauma, and expressive arts therapies.

Expressive Therapies to Support Addiction Recovery

McClendon Center uses expressive therapies to help you achieve recovery from substance use disorder. The two options that are available at this location include art therapy and dance therapy.

These treatments are designed to help clients process internal issues that are contributing to their addiction. I like that these therapeutic options also introduce you to a new way that you can relieve your stress without using substances.

Complimentary Services During Your Care

All clients enrolled in the Day Program can enjoy a nutritious breakfast in the mornings. The facility also offers you public transportation to ensure that you’re able to get the treatment that you need.

Located on New York Avenue Northwest, it’s close to well known landmarks such as The White House and the Washington Monument. I like that you’re also steps away from city parks such as McPherson Square and Franklin Park.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

Adults who have substance use disorders have often been through a lot — trauma, getting and losing jobs, having and losing housing, and more. In Washington, DC, an adult rehab can help you focus on these experiences and learn to process and manage them without turning to substance use.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Washington, DC, allows people to address unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving by challenging their thinking patterns. This allows participants to overcome thinking distortions and develop better coping skills so they can move away from substance use.

Men's Rehab

A men’s rehab in Washington, DC, addresses mental and emotional concerns that are common to men, which might include sharing emotions, vulnerability, anger management, and trauma. Addressing these unique issues in a community with other men can help participants heal and develop healthy coping mechanisms so they don’t need to turn to substance use.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Senior drug and alcohol rehabs in Washington DC prioritize the unique recovery needs of older adults. While traditional rehabs typically support the medical, mental, and behavioral health of persons from their mid-twenties to their mid-fifties, senior rehabs respect the specific recovery challenges of clients in their late fifties and beyond. Treatment may address chronic pain issues, grief and loss, life stage transitions, and other concerns relevant to the sobriety of an aging client population.

Women's Rehab

Women experience life differently than men, so having a specific women’s rehab can be helpful. A women’s rehab in Washington, DC, can address pregnancy concerns, mothering skills, and the unique experiences women have that might lead to substance use, leading to a more effective treatment experience.

Teen & Adolescent Program

Young adults face a lot of uncertainty and pressure as they transition to fully independent living. Young adult rehabs in Washington, DC, can help them address these concerns in healthy ways, develop practical coping skills, and learn essential life skills so they can overcome addiction and live a substance-free lifestyle.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehabs in Washington DC enable clients to receive addiction recovery services while continuing to live at home. They are ideal for clients who are medically stable, including those stepping down from inpatient care and/or those with mild to moderate addiction disorder not requiring hospitalization. Outpatient rehabs offer a wide range of treatment intensities determined by clients’ needs, including high-intensity partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs (PHP/IOP) and moderate-intensity general outpatient programs (OP).

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Dual diagnosis care in Washington DC is a specialized, multi-pronged approach to addiction recovery tailored to the unique care needs of persons with co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Dual diagnosis care is predicated on the assumption that lasting recovery can only be achieved if the underlying mental health conditions that contribute to or exacerbate the addiction are also addressed. The dual diagnosis care model typically integrates extensive psychotherapy, recovery education, and pharmacotherapy, if appropriate.
