Washburn House

The Washburn House, a historic residence built in 1896 and formerly owned by Ichabod Washburn, is now home to both men and women undergoing treatment for drug or alcohol addiction. Their goal is to help clients fully recover from addiction and the effects of co-occurring mental health conditions by providing individualized care and evidence-based treatment. Offering gender- and substance-specific treatment programs helps Washburn achieve its goal. They also offer a range of programs, such as intensive outpatient (IOP), residential care, and partial hospitalization (PHP). In addition, Washburn offers gender-specific sober living homes for those in need of a safe and comfortable place to stay while in treatment. Staffed by a team of experts, Washburn creates individualized treatment plans that are unique to the individual. Clients will have the opportunity to engage in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), music therapy, art therapy, motivational interviewing (MI), family counseling, yoga, and more. Experiential classes are hosted on-site that include cooking classes, art and writing, budgeting, and more.
Washburn House is part of the Promises Behavioral Health family and has numerous locations throughout the U.S. The comfortable campus creates a calming atmosphere conducive for recovery. They are accredited by the Joint Commission and accept most private insurance.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Washburn House provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Washburn House offers 4 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Washburn House works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
