About Recovery Unplugged DC Metro
At Recovery Unplugged’s DC Metro center, clients find an immersive space to heal from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Through their innovative yet science-backed care, the program offers 24/7 support through residential, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization, and virtual programs, for adults and adolescents.
At Recovery Unplugged, healing starts with the understanding that no two recovery journeys are alike. Treatment goes beyond checklists and clinical boxes—it’s about unlocking what’s been buried under years of pain. Their approach uses compassion and customization by combining traditional therapies and medication-assisted treatment with the emotional resonance of music-assisted therapy. Clients learn to express emotions and reconnect with themselves in a way that standard treatment often can miss.
Located around 25 minutes outside of downtown DC, healing feels possible at Recovery Unplugged. Clients stay in thoughtfully-designed accommodations with cozy communal spaces, tucked away in quiet neighborhoods. With fully equipped music spaces, clients can explore creativity—no musical experience required. Days are grounded in routine, with freshly prepared meals and snacks and musical performances.
At Recovery Unplugged, clients never have to face life alone after treatment ends. The alumni team, made up of peer support specialists, walks alongside clients as they navigate the real-world challenges of rebuilding—whether that means finding stable housing, reuniting with family, or returning to work. Clients stay connected through weekly Zoom groups and helpful online resources.

Clients at Recovery Unplugged do not need to be musicians to feel the healing power of music. They just need to be open to feeling something real. From morning pump-up sessions that spark energy for the day, to writing and performing their own songs, to open mics, lip sync battles, and even forming a band with peers—music helps clients open up and rediscover their voice, even if it’s been quiet for a long time.
At Recovery Unplugged, recovery is about rebuilding a life of connection, community, and meaning. They understand that isolation can be just as painful as addiction itself, which is why they’ve created an environment where clients are seen and heard. While they are not a 12-step program, they honor whatever support systems resonate with their clients—whether that’s 12-step, SMART Recovery, or something else entirely.
Pets are more than just animals—they are sources of comfort and stability, especially during recovery. Recovery Unplugged proudly offers a pet-friendly treatment environment, welcoming dogs and cats to be a part of clients’ healing journey. As long as pets are non-aggressive and up-to-date on vet records, they can join clients on their journey.
When facing substance use challenges, clients deserve more than just a comforting environment—they deserve medical support they can rely on. At Recovery Unplugged, clients have access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to quiet cravings and support their stability. With care led by licensed psychiatrists, MAT allows clients to begin feeling whole again.
