Had a great experience both times I was hospitalized! The doctors, PAs, nurses, lab folks, housecleaning , food staff were very accommodating, thoughtful, and caring. I like the fact that they do a very thorough job to ensure you are well before they release you. I didn t feel like I was a number or just someone occupying a bed. this is one of the best hospital I ve been to. My daughter lives in Fairfax and asked me to take her to the hospital. I told her I would drive her to Mary Washington before I would take her to the hospital in Fairfax. That is just how confident I am in the care. I know Mary Washington provides to its patients.PS: i ve had family members stay here who were from out of town. The doctors at Mary Washington were able to find things that my family members doctors missed. As a result, my family members were able to get the care they needed.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer community-based addiction treatment, enabling clients to remain in their homes while in recovery. Their levels of care typically include partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), standard outpatient, and sober living programming. Most outpatient facilities offer addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training. Integrative programs include evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, music therapy, and massage. Facilities specializing in alcohol and/or opioid addiction may also provide medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy helps you understand and manage the emotional and physical responses that often follow witnessing or experiencing traumatic events. Using therapeutic interventions, your therapist works with you to reframe that experience, which in turn reduces your anxiety and helps you regain control over your life.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

When I think about what it truly means to be a hero, I think of those who put the needs of others ahead of their own, those who serve with compassion, commitment, and quiet strength, even when no one is watching. That is exactly what I experienced at Mary Washington Hospital, and I want to take a moment to say thank you. I recently visited the hospital due to severe pain that was keeping me up at night. From the moment I arrived, I felt seen, heard, and cared for. The check-in staff greeted me with warmth and efficiency, and I was seen quickly in the ER, which brought immediate comfort. I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr. Benjamin Watkins, who took the time to listen with empathy and explain everything clearly. His knowledge and willingness to investigate the root cause of my pain made me feel reassured and respected. Even though I had to be referred to neurology for further evaluation, Dr. Watkins helped guide the next steps and offered support for pain relief in the meantime. That level of care means so much when you're in distress. To the nursing staff, you were the heart of my visit. Your patience, humor, and dedication were constant sources of comfort. You never made me feel rushed or like a burden, and your kindness stayed with me long after I left. To the entire medical team, those at the front desk, those behind the scenes in labs and imaging, and everyone I may not have met face to face, thank you for being the steady, skilled hands that keep everything running. Your work matters deeply. Mary Washington Hospital reminded me that healthcare is about more than tests and treatments, it is about people who care. Thank you all for your support, your time, and your unwavering commitment to those you serve. You are true heroes, and I am grateful.

My sweet Mawmaw has been neglected. The fact I have to call multiple times for her to be moved from her chair to her bed. When I went to find a nurse they are all on their phones or just sitting around doing absolutely nothing. God willing my Mawmaw feels better enough to go home because I’m sure she won’t pull threw in a hospital as shitty as this one.

They simply do not care and will do everything they can to not help you .. just getting fed while admitted is an absolute battle... Either you get it or you don't and they don't care either way

We always appreciate the opportunity to improve and we'd like to talk to you more about how we can do this. If you're willing to discuss this in more detail, please reach out to us at 540.741.3955 or by email at patient.feedback@mwhc.com. Thank you.

My wife delivered early by c-section and our twins spent around a month in the NICU, Our experience met or exceeded expectations at all times. The doctors and nurses were incredible. At times there were some issues with communication, but overall we had a positive experience. The hospital is spacious, modern, and clean. Staff is friendly.

Thank you so much for your kind review, and congratulations on the arrival of your twins! We're honored to have supported your family during such a meaningful time.

I’ve seen multiple posts from people dissatisfied with MW Hospital system. I refused to believe that an entire hospital system could be as bad as they made it out to be. I had to learn the hard way. I recently switched over from INOVA to MW bc I moved to this area. Since January I’ve had nothing short of lack of follow up, unnecessary appointments, duplication of lab work - all because no one is willing to check or review prior records/visits and communicate. After missing work and unnecessary out of pocket expenses, I’m waving the white flag in surrender. The drive to northern Virginia for quality health care with a team of medical professionals that care, communicate, and have a workflow system that makes sense and considers the patient is worth it.

We are truly sorry to hear about your experience and the challenges you've faced. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are committed to improving our processes to ensure better communication and coordination. Thank you for sharing your concerns, and we wish you the best in your continued healthcare journey.

Mary Washington Birth registrar “forgot” to file our son’s paperwork. Because of this administrative error we’ve encountered many problems.

We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience and would like to look into further. Please consider reaching out to our patient relations team should you need further assistance. They can be reached by phone at 540.741.3955 or by email at patient.feedback@mwhc.com. Thank you.

My dad, 90 years old, was admitted at 9am after a fall in the bathroom. He was there until he was discharged at 4 pm. I understand he can’t eat or drink until test results are back, . Having said that, during the entire time he was there he wasn’t offered any food or water and nobody checked his adult diaper which he sat in wet for hours. Unacceptable. This is not our first bad experience, but this is my first post because I’ve had it with them milking his Medicare for neglectful care. I don’t live in Fredericksburg and it shouldn’t be my responsibility to ask common sense questions like have you offered him water!

Please know that your father's health is important to us. Unfortunately, without his name, we are unable to look into further. If you are legally able to speak for him, please consider contacting our patient relations team so that we can discuss in more detail and confidentially. They can be reached at (540) 741-3955 or by email at patient.feedback@mwhc.com. Thank you.

I was charged over $12,000 for a 6 hour ER visit. We recieved great care, but this hospital is predatory. Ultimately this is a symptom of our failed medical system.

Exceptional Labor & Delivery Experience at Mary Washington Hospital Fredericksburg I recently delivered at Mary Washington Hospital, and I can truly say the care I received was nothing short of amazing. Having previously delivered at Inova Fairfax Women’s Hospital and now Mary Washington, I can confidently say that while both are excellent hospitals, Mary Washington stands out overall in my opinion. I’m the kind of woman who doesn’t lower my standards when it comes to my Health so this review is genuinely from the bottom of my heart. From the moment I arrived, the doctors and nurses made me feel heard, safe, and fully informed. They explained everything clearly and in the simplest terms, which really helped me understand what was happening, especially as someone coming in with depression and a lot of anxiety. Their calm, compassionate approach made all the difference. The environment was peaceful and clean, which helped me stay focused and feel at ease throughout my stay. Although the cleaning staff could have come around a bit more often to empty the trash, everything I needed was clean and well-maintained. And a special shout-out from my husband—he says the sleeping couch in the room was actually comfortable, especially compared to our experience when we had our first child at Inova hospital lol. It’s the little things that count! I’m beyond grateful for the care and kindness we received at Mary Washington. It’s clear the team there goes above and beyond to support moms, babies, and families. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again.

Thank you for sharing your heartfelt experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that our team at Mary Washington Hospital provided you with exceptional care and made you feel safe and informed during your stay. We appreciate your feedback about the cleaning staff and are glad to hear that your husband found the sleeping couch comfortable. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to supporting you and your family in the future.
