Washington DC and opioid use disorder
Deep disparities in access — even within a small geography.
Washington DC has had one of the higher opioid overdose death rates of any jurisdiction in the country — though rates have been declining in recent years alongside national trends. Access to treatment has not been equally distributed across the city's wards and neighborhoods.
A self-pay telehealth practice reaches across those differences. Any DC resident — any ward, any neighborhood — can access MyStreetHealth the same way: by phone or computer, same day, same physician.
What we treat
Opioid Use Disorder — and the conditions that often come with it.
Opioid Use Disorder (often called opioid addiction)
Buprenorphine (Suboxone / Subutex) prescribed via telehealth. FDA-approved, evidence-based. Same physician every visit. Prescription sent to your DC pharmacy same day if appropriate.
Depression & anxiety
Medication management alongside buprenorphine for established patients with a previous diagnosis.
ADHD
Present in 1 in 5 people with OUD. Medication management for established patients with a previous diagnosis.
Alcohol use disorder

MyStreetHealth is a self-pay practice — $200 a month for most patients. No insurance required. If cost is a barrier, ask about pay-what-you-can.

DC-specific question
I don't have a Maryland or Virginia address. Do I qualify?
Yes. Washington DC is its own jurisdiction and we are licensed to see DC residents directly. You do not need a Maryland or Virginia address. If you live in DC — any ward, any neighborhood — you qualify as a DC patient. Your prescription will be sent to a DC pharmacy of your choice.
