Drug Treatment Choice Program Provider Directory DISTRCT OF COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ADDICTION PREVENTION AND RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION DRUG TREATMENT CHOICE PROGRAM PROVIDER DIRECTORY YOU HAVE A CHOICE! • Easy to read, client centered program descriptions • Colorful, user-friendly tools to help you compare programs using the criteria important to you • Find programs by Ward, Metro access, special programs, and more! July 20, 2012 Dear Client, It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the Drug Treatment Choice Program (DTCP), the Dis- trict of Columbia’s adult substance abuse treatment program. As a DTCP participant, you will benefit from a community of provider agencies committed to delivering high quality substance abuse treatment services. The DTCP has made substance abuse treatment services more accessible by ensuring that indi- viduals with substance use disorders are connected to treatment services at the level of care that is clinically appropriate to meet their needs. The first step to accessing DTCP treatment services is undergoing an assessment. Each DTCP intake location has been staffed with addic- tion professionals who will ask you a series of questions that are designed to help determine the level of care needed for treatment. Following the assessment, an addiction professional will help you select the DTCP provider that best meets your needs based on the criteria most important to you. Once you have selected your provider, your counselor will help you connect to your chosen treatment program. This Directory was developed to present important information about the treatment programs in the DTCP network in a clear, easy to understand format. In this Directory you will find help- ful information about the clinical features of each program, the treatment services available, hours of operation, contact information, and the nearest Metro station or Metro bus line. In addition, many programs offer special features such as education assistance programs, transpor- tation to your appointments, job readiness training, and snacks. This Directory is best used in consultation with an addiction professional who can help you compare the special features of each program and select the program that fits your needs and your life. Working together we will achieve the goals of making the District of Columbia a place where residents can obtain quality services, compassionate intervention, and realize sustainable out- comes.

Answer: The Drug Treatment Choice Program supports substance abuse treatment for: • District residents; • Without private medical insurance, or whose medical insurance does not cover substance abuse treatment services; and • With an Axis I diagnosis of a substance use disorder. If you are a District resident in need of substance abuse treatment services, go to any DTCP intake location for an assessment. During the assessment, an addiction professional will ask you a series of questions to help you deter- mine whether you meet the criteria for DTCP participation. Question: How Do I Prove District Residency? Answer: Documents that establish District of Columbia residency for the purpose of participating in the DTCP include: • A valid motor vehicle operator's permit issued by the District; • A non-driver’s identification card issued by the District; • A voter registration card with an address in the District; • A copy of a lease or a rent receipt for real property located in the District; • A utility bill for real property located in the District; or • A copy of the most current federal income tax return or Earned Income Credit Form. Please remember: All DTCP participants must maintain District residency while participating in the program. If you are a DTCP client and you relocate from the District while receiving services, you must inform your DTCP provider. They will help connect you to a treatment program near your new residence. Question: What Do I Need to Bring With Me When I Come for My Assessment? Answer: You must bring proof of residency in order to access DTCP services. If you have been referred to ser- vices, please remember to bring your referral form. Please do not bring large sums of money, valuables, weapons, drugs and alcohol, or other contraband to your assessment. Question: Will APRA Tell Anyone that I am Receiving Substance Abuse Treatment Services? Answer: No. Records related to your treatment for substance abuse are strictly confidential. That confidentiality is protected by federal and District of Columbia law and regulations. APRA, and the providers in the DTCP net- work, will only disclose information related to your substance abuse treatment with your written authorization. If you need APRA to reveal information regarding your substance abuse treatment to someone other than your- self (such as a spouse, family member, social worker, or probation officer), you must complete a HIPAA Form 3 and identify the person or the organization (CFSA, CSOSA, PSA, etc.) to whom you want APRA to disclose your assessment and referral information. Once you have arrived at your DTCP program, you must fill out a separate authorization to release your substance abuse treatment information. APRA’s HIPAA Form 3 only applies to APRA, and your DTCP provider will not disclose your information without your written authorization. Talk to your addiction professional for more information regarding disclosure of substance abuse treatment information.

  • Risk of Violence in Drug Rehabilitation Centers
    Harvey-Vera et al. Substance Abuse Treatment, Prevention, and Policy (2016) 11:5 DOI 10.1186/s13011-015-0044-z RESEARCH Open Access Risk of violence in drug rehabilitation centers: perceptions of people who inject drugs in Tijuana, Mexico Alicia Yolanda Harvey-Vera1,2, Patricia González-Zúñiga1, Adriana Carolina Vargas-Ojeda2, Maria Elena Medina-Mora3, Carlos Leonardo Magis-Rodríguez4, Karla Wagner1, Steffanie Anne Strathdee1* and Daniel Werb1 Abstract Background: In 2009, Mexico reformed its health law to partially decriminalize drug possession considered for personal use and to increase mandatory referrals to certified drug rehabilitation centers in lieu of incarceration. Concurrently, news media reported violent attacks perpetrated by drug cartels against Mexican drug rehabilitation centers and instances of human rights violations by staff against people who inject drugs (PWID) in treatment. In many cases, these violent situations took place at “Peer Support” (Ayuda Mutua) drug rehabilitation centers that house a large number of drug-dependent PWID. In an effort to understand barriers to treatment uptake, we examined prevalence and correlates of perceived risk of violence at drug rehabilitation centers among PWID in Tijuana, Mexico. Methods: Secondary analysis of baseline data collected between March 2011 and May 2013 of PWID recruited into a prospective cohort study in Tijuana. Interviewer-administered surveys measured perceived risk of violence at drug rehabilitation centers by asking participants to indicate their level of agreement with the statement “going to rehabilitation puts me at risk of violence”. Logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with perceived risk of violence. Results: Of 733 PWID, 34.5 % perceived risk of violence at drug rehabilitation centers.
