(Figured this was faster in an emergency than waiting for people to reply, especially as many may be asleep).

Good luck!

Thank you!!

Do not go to psychiatric institute of Washington. Google the news stories, it is not safe. I took my friend there for a voluntary admission and it was a nightmare.

Sibley

I’m of no help here. But best wishes….

Suburban hospital IMO.

I second Sibley.

If you are ever in immediate crisis before getting to a treatment facility, 988 is the new national suicide and crisis hotline.

Wow, the Google reviews are heartbreaking.

Shepard Pratt in Baltimore if you can get up there

MedStar Washington Hospital Center has a psych unit. I haven’t heard much about it though. The only downside I know of is the ER wait times.

They do involuntary also. I wouldn’t recommend them. Sibley is the best.

Yep. I know someone who went there for detox. Bad experience and definite abuse and neglect at the least but also unsafe and potentially violent situations. So sad.
