MedStar Health is a healthcare organization with hospitals and treatment locations across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. One of their accredited urgent care locations is in Alexandria, Virginia. With a location convenient to public transportation, this urgent care center offers injury, illness, preventive, occupational health and some lab testing services. Urgent care centers are often the first contact for people in a mental health or substance use crisis, so the medical staff here can refer clients to more intensive substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services at their nearby locations. The urgent care accepts most major health plans, including TRICARE, some Medicaid and Medicare plans.
Rapid Testing in Alexandria, Virginia
One of the nice services here is the rapid onsite testing, including rapid HIV testing. They can test for STDs and hepatitis C which is sometimes a complication for heroin users when sharing used needles.
Referrals for Addiction Treatment
If you or a loved one needs more intense treatment for substance use or co-occurring mental health disorders, the treatment team can refer you to the nearby MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. The hospital is only eight miles away.
Clients diagnosed with addiction are referred to a certified addiction counselor. After an evaluation, the counselor coordinates referrals to an outpatient or inpatient SUD treatment program.
Levels of Care

Inpatient
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy.
