About Hillcrest Children and Family Center

Hillcrest Children and Family Center operates as an outpatient clinic in Southeast Washington, DC, providing substance abuse treatment and recovery services for individuals seeking ongoing support in their recovery journey. Located on Martin Luther King Jr Avenue, the recovery center has built a reputation for serving the District's diverse community through comprehensive outpatient programs.
The facility offers two primary levels of care: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services.

The outpatient structure enables participants to build recovery skills while staying connected to their families and communities throughout the treatment process.
Hillcrest's treatment approach addresses trauma and PTSD alongside substance abuse issues, recognizing the complex needs of individuals with co-occurring disorders. The center maintains accreditation from both the Joint Commission (JCAHO) and CARF, demonstrating its commitment to quality care standards. Services are delivered through an income-based sliding fee scale, making treatment accessible to individuals across different economic circumstances.
The recovery center welcomes a broad range of populations, including adolescents, young adults, seniors, veterans, pregnant women, and court-ordered individuals. This inclusive approach creates a diverse recovery community where participants can find peer support across different life experiences. Hillcrest accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, and various other insurance options, while also offering self-pay arrangements and sliding scale pricing to ensure treatment accessibility for Washington, DC residents seeking long-term recovery support.
Outpatient Programs and Recovery Services
Hillcrest Children and Family Center delivers addiction treatment through two core program levels designed for ongoing recovery support. The standard outpatient program provides regular counseling and treatment sessions while allowing individuals to maintain their work, school, and family commitments.

Both programs emphasize treating co-occurring disorders and trauma-related issues alongside substance abuse. The center's accredited programs operate Monday through Saturday, providing flexible scheduling options that accommodate diverse recovery needs within the Washington, DC community.
Insurance Coverage and Payment Options
The recovery center accepts a comprehensive range of insurance plans including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, state insurance, and UnitedHealthcare. Veterans receive specialized support through TRICARE coverage, while the facility's income-based sliding fee scale ensures treatment accessibility regardless of financial circumstances.
Self-pay options are available for those without insurance coverage, with payment arrangements based on individual financial capacity. This flexible approach to payment removes barriers to addiction treatment for Washington, DC residents seeking recovery support.
