High-resolution Anoscopy is a procedure that is used to examine the anus for abnormal cells.

\n

The procedure is done in the clinic and takes about 30 minutes. This is an “in and out” procedure done with a local anesthetic. You will not be put to\n sleep and do not need someone to drive you home.

How to Prepare

\n

You do not need to do anything special in order to prepare. This is a “come as your are” procedure.

\n

Starting 24 hours before your exam, avoid using any douches, enemas, lubes or creams in the anal canal. It is also important to avoid anal sex the day\n before and the day of your appointment. Anything inserted, into the anal canal within a day of the procedure decreases the chances of finding abnormal\n results.

What to Expect

\n

During the anoscopy, you will lie on your left side with your knees drawn up slightly toward your chest.

\n

The doctor will look at the outside of your anus first. Then insert their finger, using a numbing lubricate, to feel for any lumps or bumps. A thin hollow\n tube called an anoscope will then be inserted about two inches into the anus.

\n

Next, a cotton swab covered with acetic acid, a solution similar to vinegar, will be inserted through the anoscope and into the anus. The anoscope will\n be removed, leaving the cotton swab behind. The acetic acid on the cotton swab will cause any abnormal tissue to turn white.

\n

After a few minutes, the cotton swab will be removed. The anoscope will then be reinserted. A microscope mounted on a mobile stand will then be used to\n look at the inside of your anus.

\n

If anything abnormal is seen, the doctor will inject a numbing medicine and clip a small piece of tissue to send to the lab. The lab will give results\n to your doctor in about 2 weeks. You will be contacted with the results and follow up plan 2 to 3 weeks after your appointment.

\n

For more information on Anoscopy, talk to your provider or call 202.745.7000 to help answer your questions.

Behavioral Health Assessment & Referral\n
\n

\n

Let’s get you connected. The assessment and referral process is your point of entry for accessing behavioral health services. The assessment process helps\n us learn more about your current concerns, needs and behavioral health history, so that together we can develop a care plan to best meet your needs.\n Your care may include group therapy, substance misuse-focused individual or group therapy, psychiatry, peer-services, individual psychotherapy or other\n internal and external referrals.

\n

Some behavioral health services are available only to current medical patients. Some services are open to both patients and non-patients. Individual psychotherapy\n and psychiatry have very limited availability. We often refer to other providers in the community for individual psychotherapy. See specific program information to learn more.

\n

If you are referred to one of our providers, they will contact you to set up your first session.

\n

Assessment and Referral for Behavioral Health services is available at 1525, Max Robinson Center and Youth Services\n

\n

In crisis? Click here for resources.

\n

Current medical patients can learn more about behavioral health services and availability by requesting a consultation through your medical provider. Just\n let your medical provider know that you would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist. The Behavioral Health Specialist will help determine\n the best next steps for connecting you to behavioral health care whether at Whitman-Walker or in the community. Each consult is about 30 minutes long\n and consists of a brief screening and referral ideas for behavioral health care.

Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment is an evening abstinence-based program aimed at those who experience problems related to both substance use and mental\n health issues. The purpose of the program is to help you achieve abstinence, sobriety, and recovery from alcohol and substance use, avoid relapse and\n to stabilize common mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.\n
\n

\n

This comprehensive, multi-format program includes: group-based education and counseling; individual therapy; family/support system education; and building\n social support. The program incorporates evidence-based resources and approaches including the Matrix Model, \"Getting Off\", cognitive behavioral therapy,\n and relapse prevention.

\n

The majority of your time in the program will be spent attending a combination of evening education and therapy groups. The program length and content\n will be tailored to your individual treatment needs. You may attend a different combinationof groups (up to 5 groups per week), depending on your treatment\n plan. Most people in the program attend more groups at the beginning of their treatment and then taper to fewer as they stabilize.

\n

Evidence suggests, and our many years of providing treatment confirm, that clients enrolled in substance use treatment at Whitman-Walker who also participate\n in self-help recovery programs (like AA, NA, CMA, SMART Recovery, etc.), are more successful at achieving long-term abstinence and building a sober\n social support system, than clients who do not participate in self-help programs. Self-help program attendance is an important part of our integrated\n recovery model.

\n

Methamphetamine-specific content, enhanced HIV and sexual health services and a re-engagement after relapse group (Treatment Stabilization) help ensure\n that we provide you with the best and most culturally competent care we can.

\n

There are two ways to learn more about the Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment program and to begin the screening process:

\n

\n
1. Current medical patients can request an in-person screening when at the health center for a medical appointment. Just let your provider know that you\n would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist.
\n
2. Non-patients of the health center can get information about services and schedule a screening by calling Z
\n

Our DUI course uses a nationally recognized curriculum called “Driving With Care.” At Whitman-Walker Health the program format has been tailored to be\n convenient for people who have busy schedules. Sessions are conducted individually with one of our licensed clinicians. Most clients complete the program\n in about four sessions, spread over an 8-12 week period. Clients do a significant amount of work between sessions via written assignments and behavior\n monitoring.\n
\n

\n

The main goal of this program is to help you prevent future episodes of driving while intoxicated. If the DUI Program is the right fit for you, our staff\n will coordinate with the jurisdiction where you received your charge to ensure that our program meets local requirements.

\n

Insurance is not accepted for this program; clients must pay out of pocket. The cost of the program is $750.

\n

This program is open to both patients and non-patients. The first step in the process is to complete a phone screening. To learn more about the program\n or to schedule a screening, call Jen Loken at 202-797-4453.\n

PrEP Education & Appointments \n

\n

In addition to offering free STI & HIV testing, the GMHW Sexual Health Clinic offers to start clients on PrEP. “PrEP” stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis.\n It is an FDA-approved prevention pill for people who don’t have HIV, but who have a greater chance of becoming HIV-positive. When taken every day,\n PrEP can prevent an HIV infection by over 92 percent.

\n

Our team at the GMHW Sexual Health Clinic can help you start PrEP on the same day you come in, as well as connect you with Whitman-Walker's PrEP Clinic\n for future refills and speedy service. To learn more about PrEP, visit PrEPforDC.com or call 202.939.7690 to speak with one of our PrEP Navigators.

\r\n
• Be scheduled to see a provider who will evaluate you and order lab tests.

\r\n

Based on your preference, this medical visit may occur the same day and typically takes place within a few days. Some patients will also meet with a Nurse\r\n Care Manager or a Care Navigator on that first day to discuss any relevant medical history or answer questions about services and care at Whitman-Walker\r\n Health. The Nurse Care Manager and Care Navigator are there to provide you with additional support and education as needed.

Whitman-Walker provides HIV testing through its GMHW Sexual Health Clinic on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 1525, and walk-in testing services at Max Robinson Center on Fridays from 9:00am - 4:00pm. HIV testing includes a confidential, rapid HIV test and risk-reduction counseling. The counseling provides clients\n with education on their options for having safer sex. Whitman-Walker uses the OraQuick HIV-1/HIV-2 Antibody Test and results take 20 minutes. The OraQuick\n test finds the antibodies your immune system would create to fight HIV if you were exposed to the virus and became positive. The evening and walk-in\n Clinic also offers an optional 4th generation test for a fee. The 4th generation test finds HIV antibodies and p24 antigens, which are the viral proteins\n that make up the core of HIV. The INSTI and OraQuick tests have different window periods than the 4th generation HIV test. This is the period of time\n between someone having an exposure to HIV and becoming positive, and the amount of time the INSTI, OraQuick or 4th generation test needs to confirm\n a positive HIV test result. During the window period, an HIV test can wrongly deliver a negative HIV test result even if the person is actually positive.\n The window period for the INSTI or OraQuick tests is anywhere from 22 days to 3 months. The window period for the 4th generation HIV test is anywhere\n from 18 to 45 days. Whitman-Walker offers rapid HIV testing for free and the 4th generation HIV test for a $20 fee at the evening Clinic only. Learn\n more about HIV testing, hours and registration for Whitman-Walker's GMHW Sexual Health Clinic here.

Healthcare and financial planning for the future are important steps for everyone. Healthcare planning can include giving a person permission to be involved\n in your current care, deciding who would make decisions for you in an emergency, and instructing future medical providers how you would like to be\n cared for in an emergency.Financial planning can include creating a general power of attorney that gives someone certain rights to manage your finances\n immediately, as well as creating a will that says what should happen after you pass away.

\n

Whitman-Walker can help you create all the documents you need to ensure your family and friends have the legal rights you want them to have now, and that\n you are prepared for whatever the future might bring. Future planning services are available to low-income/asset persons including simple wills, powers\n of attorney, living wills, advance directives, and more.

Medication-Assisted Treatment for Heroin and Opioid Misuse is for people who would like to quit using opioids such as heroin or prescription pain medication.\n Most participants are heroin and opioid users who also have other mental health concerns, like depression or trauma. We can help with both substance\n misuse and mental health issues.\n
\n

\n

The program involves taking the medication buprenorphine (Suboxone) over a period of time to manage withdrawal symptoms and, eventually, to slowly taper\n down and discontinue use. Along with the medication, participants also attend weekly therapy groups to get and share support around other issues. Individual\n counseling or additional psychiatry may be provided to help address other concerns as well. We'll work with you to set goals and develop a plan.

\n

If you think the program might be a good fit for your needs, the first step is to call or meet with a behavioral health staff person to complete a screening.\n Please note that you may not see the doctor or receive the medication or a prescription the first time you meet with us. You can expect to have a couple\n of visits with program staff before you see the doctor.

\n

If you join the program, in addition to seeing the doctor, you’ll have a home group which you’ll come to weekly. You can also attend other groups during\n the week for additional support. Some groups occur in the morning and some in the afternoon. Appointments for medication monitoring are scheduled when\n needed--usually more often at the beginning of the program, and not as often as you progress.

\n

To learn more or to schedule a screening appointment, call the Medication Assisted Treatment Coordinator at 202.939.7670.

\n

Format: daytime, opioid/heroin replacement, abstinence, and harm reduction, mostly groups

\n

Location: the program is offered at Max Robinson Center.\n

With deep roots in some of Whitman-Walker’s earliest programs, Peer Support Services offers volunteer-based individual and group peer counseling for a\n variety of sexual orientation and gender identity issues. Whether it’s coming out, relationships, self-esteem, transitioning, managing chronic conditions,\n or something else, Peer Support Services are a great way to connect for help.\n
\n

\n

Our dedicated volunteer Peer Counselors are not licensed mental health professionals. However, they complete a minimum mandatory 9-hour training delivered\n by Whitman-Walker Behavioral Health staff, and receive ongoing supervision and support. If during your enrollment in Peer Support Services you or we\n determine that a professional or higher level of care would better address your needs or goals, we’ll help you connect.

\n

You do not have to be a medical patient at Whitman-Walker to engage in individual or group peer support. All Peer Support Services are free of charge,\n but we do encourage donations.

\n

See below for descriptions of programs and groups.

\n

For more information, to inquire about enrolling in individual or group support, or to find out how to be a volunteer peer counselor, please call the Peer\n Support Services Coordinator, at 202.939.7646 or e-mail peersupport@whitman-walker.org. An initial screening appointment is necessary for admission.

Group Peer Support: \n

\n

Peer Support Groups focus on specific topics. Their purpose is to promote social support and wellbeing and to share knowledge and experiences on related\n topics.

The +1 Peer Mentor Program is a peer-to-peer support program for people living with HIV. The program pairs people living with HIV, who are keeping up with\r\n their medication and doctor appointments, with those who are newly diagnosed, new to treatment or re-engaging in care. Mentors must be open to providing\r\n an intensive level of support to mentees, especially in the early days of a new or changed HIV treatment plan. A weekly, in-person meeting during the\r\n first month of mentorship is best. After the first month, a meeting every two weeks is recommended.

“PrEP” stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. It is an FDA-approved prevention pill for people who don’t have HIV, but who have a greater chance of becoming\n HIV-positive. When taken every day, PrEP can prevent an HIV infection by over 92 percent. You can use PrEP with other prevention methods, like condoms,\n to offer more protection. For PrEP to work, people who use it must take it every day and follow up with their doctor or medical team member every 3\n months.\n
\n

\n

PrEP is designed for anyone who does not have HIV, but who has a greater chance of becoming HIV-positive. It can be prescribed to heterosexual people,\n gay and bisexual people, transgender people, non-binary people, and more. PrEP helps people who inject drugs to stay HIV-negative, and those whose\n sexual partner(s) include people who are HIV-positive, stay HIV-negative.

\n

You might consider PrEP if:

\n

\n
• You and/or your partner(s) don’t always use condoms (external or internal) when you have sex.
\n
• You have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the last six months.
\n
• You’re unsure of the HIV status of your sexual partner(s).
\n
• Your sexual partner(s) are HIV-positive.
\n
• You are a person who injects drugs, or you’re having sex with an injection drug user.
\n
• You are HIV-negative and interested in taking PrEP.

Our PrEP Clinic team can help you schedule an appointment with a medical provider and quickly assist\n you with future refills. To learn more about PrEP, visit PrEPforDC.com or call 202.939.7690\n to speak to a member of our PrEP Clinic team.

Psychiatry is available to existing medical patients of Whitman-Walker Health. We can help you with psychiatric assessment and medical interventions/medication\n management for anxiety, depression, and other mental health or psychiatric concerns. Often, clients combine psychiatric care with other behavioral\n health services.\n

\n

Because of high demand, there is limited availability for psychiatry appointments. When clinically appropriate, your primary medical provider may take\n over ongoing medication management.

\n

Current medical patients can learn more about behavioral health services and availability by requesting a consultation through your medical provider. Just\n let your medical provider know that you would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist. The Behavioral Health Specialist will help determine\n the best next steps for connecting you to behavioral health care whether at Whitman-Walker or in the community. Each consult is about 30 minutes long\n and consists of a brief screening and referral ideas for behavioral health care.

Group psychotherapy offers the opportunity for you to process emotional or social challenges in a supportive environment with other clients who are experiencing\n the same kinds of challenges. Groups are led by experienced psychotherapists. Many of our groups focus on LGBTQ and HIV related concerns; additional\n groups focus on other issues and are not necessarily aimed at a particular community. Group therapy is available to both existing medical patients\n and non-patients, however certain groups may have other eligibility requirements or restrictions.See full listing below.\n
\n

\n

There are two main ways to learn more about groups, find out about openings, and begin the screening process (Note: for certain groups, the facilitator\n may ask you to complete an additional screening before joining the group.):

\n

1. Current medical patients can request an in-person screening when at the health center for a medical appointment. Just let your provider know that you\n would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist who is part of your care team.

\n

2. Non-patients of the health center can get information about groups and schedule a screening by calling Kevin Waldorf-Cruz at 202-745-6176.

Individual psychotherapy offers the chance to work one-on-one with a therapist to get support, solve problems, and gain insight. Individual psychotherapy\n might focus on issues of depresion and anxiety, trauma, coping with stressors, substance use, or examining patterns in thoughts feelings and behaviors.\n Individual psychotherapy can be a stand-alone service, or is sometimes combined with other services/programs (psychiatry, group therapy, group substance\n use treatment). Some substance use programs offer individual psychotherapy as a part of their programming.

Current medical patients can learn more about behavioral health services and availability by requesting a consultation through your medical provider. Just\n let your medical provider know that you would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist. The Behavioral Health Specialist will help determine\n the best next steps for connecting you to behavioral health care whether at Whitman-Walker or in the community.

You might consider Group Psychotherapy or Peer Support as possible alternatives to working with a therapist individually. Group Therapy and Peer Support are available to\n patients and non-patients. Click through to learn more and to see how to speak with someone to determine if one of these programs could be part of\n your care plan.

Whitman-Walker's Sexual Health & Wellness Clinic offers free testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Clinic is walk-in\n only and happens on Tuesday and Thursday evenings on the 4th floor of Whitman-Walker at 1525.\n
\n

\n

Services are part of a confidential STI testing process and are focused on the medical needs of men who have sex with men. Testing is also available to\n women, and gender-expansive and non-binary individuals! However, the evening Clinic does not offer pelvic exams or pap smears. The Clinic offers free\n testing for syphilis and HIV, and free screening for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Herpes testing can be provided for a fee as the CDC does not recommend\n herpes screening for people who are not experiencing symptoms. Whitman-Walker offers free treatment for syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea, and evaluation\n and treatment for genital warts.

\n

This Clinic is for persons who are experiencing symptoms of an STI. If you are not experiencing symptoms and want to get tested, please consider Whitman-Walker's\n walk-in STI Self-Testing or getting tested during your next medical visit with us.

\n

The Sexual Health Clinic (also known as Gay Men's Health & Wellness Clinic) is the longest-running program at Whitman-Walker Health.

Substance Use Management for Harm Reduction might be a good fit for you if you've had some negative consequences from using, want to take a look at how\n using fits into your life, but aren't sure you're ready to quit, or even if you need to. This therapy and education group offers you the opportunity\n to take a look at your relationship and experiences with alcohol and drugs in a non-judgmental space, and with the support and guidance of a therapist.\n
\n

\n

Substance Use Management for Harm Reduction focuses on goal setting to reduce or change self-harming behaviors, reduce the harmful or negative consequences\n of those behaviors to self and others, and increase insights about underlying needs and drivers of behavior.

\n

The program is not abstinence-based and is instead guided by the principles of Harm Reduction, a set of practical ideas and interventions for substance\n users. Neither promoting nor minimizing substance use and resulting risk, Harm Reduction accepts as fact that people engage in harmful or risky behaviors\n and encourages non-judgment, curiosity, and information sharing to help people make changes on their terms. Read more about Harm Reduction here.\n

\n

For many people, choosing abstinence or complete sobriety is the best option for interrupting substance use or reducing harm. For other people, abstinence\n may not be their goal; perhaps they want to quit using one drug that's causing them problems, but they still want to drink. For still other people,\n abstinence may seem impossible or unrealistic because of their life circumstances or social circle, their neighborhood, or the need to fit in, get\n by, and survive.

\n

Substance Use Management for Harm Reduction offers the invitation to really look at your using, drinking or other behaviors, to be curious and honest about\n the context and impact of these behaviors, and to experiment with making changes.

\n

There are two ways to learn more about the program and begin the screening process:

\n

1. Current medical patients can request an in-person screening when at the health center for a medical appointment. Just let your provider know that you\n would like to speak with a Behavioral Health Specialist who is part of your care team.

\n

2. Non-patients of the health center can get information about services and schedule a screening by calling Jen Loken at 202-797-4453.

\n

Format: evening, non-abstinence-based, mostly groups

\n

Location: Substance Use Management & Harm Reduction groups are provided at Whitman-Walker at 1525\n

When you’re as ready as you can be to stop or change your using and rebuild your life in community, you need programs that can help with the range of problems\n and concerns that have piled up behind you and pushed you to seek help. This means not only focusing on changing drinking and drug use behaviors, but\n also managing depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health and psychiatric issues; addressing out-of-control or drug-linked sexual behavior;\n reconnecting to medical care and HIV, Hepatitis C and STI care or testing; rebuilding a safe social support system; and receiving information and referral\n for other needed services. Let us help you begin to sort it out.\n
\n

\n

Substance Use Services are here to help you better understand and address use, abuse, misuse, addiction and dependence related to drugs and alcohol. Whether\n you’re seeking to quit using altogether (abstinence-based) or are ready to change or reduce your use and lessen the resulting harms (harm reduction)\n we have a range of individual and group programs to help you meet your goals. Programs are available to both patients and non-patients of Whitman-Walker\n Health.

\n

Because department staff is all licensed psychotherapists and psychologists, Substance Use Services integrate treatment of both mental health and substance\n use concerns. We offer specialized programming for methamphetamine users, heroin and opioid users, and those whose substance use and sexual behaviors\n have become strongly linked. Individual substance use-focused psychotherapy may be available as a stand-alone service or in addition to group treatment,\n depending on your care plan. Some services are location-specific. See program information for more.

History of Substance Use Services 

\n

Substance Use Services at Whitman-Walker has its roots in a volunteer-led telephone helpline for gay alcoholics that started in the mid-1970's. Since this\n beginning, the department and program offerings have evolved, adapting to the needs of community and integrating new language, science, and research.\n We provide services to individuals regardless of sexual orientation but have special expertise in working with LGBTQ communities.

\n

Well known in community by its longstanding acronym, WWAS (Whitman-Walker Addiction Services, and before that, Whitman-Walker Alcoholism Services), the\n Substance Use Services department is as committed as ever to providing effective, culturally competent, evidence-based programming, and to treating\n substance users at every stage of use with the dignity, respect, and love we deserve.
