Meyer Treatment Center — The Washington School of Psychiatry

As of 2023, the Myer Treatment Center and its parent organization, Washington School of Psychiatry in Washington, DC, have officially closed. This was a private outpatient treatment center which provided traditional psychotherapy along with treatment for dual diagnoses including co-occurring substance use disorders.

Medication Management and Medication Assisted Treatment

One of the standout features of this facility was its use of medication assisted treatment (MAT) like Suboxone to help ease cravings for people with opioid use disorder. They may have also prescribed psychotropic medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers for mental health conditions.

By incorporating these medications with traditional psychotherapy, you’d receive care for all the physical, psychiatric, and psychological facets of substance use disorder.

While psychotropic medications help you stabilize your moods, medications designed to sooth withdrawal symptoms also help reduce the psychological cravings. In turn, this makes the recovery process easier and less stressful.

Treatment Funded by Insurance, Medicare and Other Options

The Myer Center accepted private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. Self pay clients were accepted too and they offered a sliding scale fee structure so your costs were based on your income.
