About La Clinica del Pueblo – Washington
The nation’s capital, Washington, DC is a bustling city of diverse cultures, ethnicities and backgrounds. Since 1983, La Clinica del Pueblo has provided accessible medical, behavioral and social services for members of the Latinx community. Their Volviendo a Vivir outpatient program welcomes adults battling addiction and co-occurring disorders.
One excellent feature that caught my eye is they’ll never deny services based on your ability to pay. They accept multiple insurance plans including Aetna, DC HealthCare Alliance, United Healthcare, Cigna, Medicaid and Medicare. If you don’t have insurance then their compassionate team will work with you to determine your eligibility and help you secure coverage. If you don’t qualify, you can still receive a discounted sliding scale fee to get the help you need.
They build their outpatient program on a foundation of inclusion and equality. You’ll benefit from proven therapeutic interventions, like addiction and mental health individual counseling, addiction education, support groups, drug testing, anger management and more. These approaches can help you understand and address the contributing factors in addiction while building essential recovery skills.
For me, their culturally competent approach really stood out. They understand that Latinx immigrants often face significant barriers to quality treatment including poverty, language and distrust in healthcare settings. Their program provides a welcoming space that addresses these factors and helps you feel seen and understood. You’ll benefit from empathetic care from experts who understand your situation and resonate with your experiences.
Another wonderful feature I noticed was their social support services. Treatment is just one part of recovery. Significant factors like finding a permanent home and stable income can enhance your journey. You can access employment and housing advice and resources to create a path for success in recovery.
