Our Mission
At Providence Healthcare, our mission is to combat America’s Behavioral Health crisis. We aim to achieve this by fostering hope and providing comprehensive, person-centered, holistic services to those affected by substance use.
We understand that people begin abusing substances - opioids, prescription drugs and alcohol, for many reasons and that, for some, this may begin to feel unmanageable. We strive to encourage early identification of extensive use or misuse of alcohol and other drugs by experts who witness early symptoms.
We devote time to screening, brief interventions and referral to treatment (SBIRT). Our model establishes a respect for and knowledge of brain disease, particularly substance use disorder – at all stages of risk and dependence. Individual wellness plans are informed by medical examinations, counselor observations and client reporting.
Wellness planning is also an important and continuing process for each individual. We encourage our clients to develop community networks in education, employment, primary health, recreation, volunteer services, andworship to help foster their recovery.
Long-term relationships with community support groups are encouraged, including, but not limited to, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and Smart Recovery.
Outreach Program
Our outreach team is responsible for engaging the District of Columbia community in regard to prevention, timely intervention, and treatment of substance abuse. The outreach team is comprised of community support workers, the clinical team, and other professional and administrative staff.
The Providence Healthcare treatment model aims to help the individual stop using drugs, maintain a drug-free lifestyle, and achieve productive functioning in the family, at work, and in society. As part of our outreach, we aim to involve the community in reforming disadvantageous behaviors and cognition, and to develop collaborative and productive relationships with residents.
