The Department of Behavioral Health ensures that high quality mental health services are available to District residents through a rigorous certification program conducted by the Office of Accountability. DBH certifies a provider to deliver services that support individual recovery with qualified, culturally competent staff in a safe facility. A provider also must comply with local and federal rules and regulations. Only a certified provider is eligible to participate in the District’s public behavioral health system. Services include diagnostic assessment, medication, counseling and community support.
Providers are located across the District. You can choose the one that best serves your needs from the list below. You can call or visit a provider to help you make a choice. And, you can talk with a mental health counselor at our 24/7 Access Helpline 1-888-793-4357 to help you select the most appropriate provider.
