Exodus Treatment Center
Exodus Center is here to help individuals in DC’s most high-need neighborhoods: Wards 7 and 8. Based in Woodland Terrace, Exodus began supporting communities in Wards 7 and 8 with substance abuse and treatment services when it was founded in 2007. Since then, we’ve expanded to provide trauma-informed, comprehensive prevention and support services like counseling, case management, employment assistance, youth programming, and COVID-19 support efforts.
Why Investing in Trusted Community-Based Organizations Is Crucial to Sustainability
IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Pastor Gary B. Hill, founder of Exodus Treatment Center Inc. – “Developing trust has been a very slow and systematic process simply because the residents have had to deal with a lot of broken promises. We were consistent, compassionate, and understanding in terms of what the community was dealing with. I made sure I showed up, I listened, and I was consistent with making sure that we delivered. And when we do that, people become more open and more honest. The work we’re doing reaches the deep core issues that the community is dealing with.”
