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.
Discover a Deeper, More Human Approach to Recovery
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.
Live in Comfort, Recover with Purpose
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.
Transition from Recovery to Real Life
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.
