Addiction Services Council

About Addiction Services Council

Addiction Services Council, formerly known as Alcoholism Council, is a nonprofit community based organization in Cincinnati, Ohio. Established in 1949, they provide assessment, treatment, information, referrals and connections to appropriate levels of care for community members. You can access substance abuse and dual diagnosis care in English or Spanish to reach your recovery goals.

Crisis Intervention Services

What stands out most to me is their crisis intervention services. If you’re experiencing a mental health or substance use emergency they offer ongoing support to help you through it. You can receive immediate care to reach stabilization. You’ll benefit from quick access to manage acute symptoms and receive connections to the best level of care for your needs.

Peer Recovery Support Services

Another great feature I noticed was their peer recovery support services. Peer support specialists use their personal experiences with recovery to help you throughout your journey. They can provide guidance and help you navigate treatment. You’ll benefit from a helpful ally who was once in your shoes.

Family Education and Counseling Services

I also think it’s nice that they have family education and counseling services. They understand that addiction affects your loved ones as well. You and your family can learn more about addiction and recovery while gaining the tools to cope with your situation. They help you rebuild relationships and strengthen communication skills for lasting recovery.

Workplace Training and Intervention Services

To me, their workplace training and intervention services also seem beneficial. They offer services to educate employees and employers about addiction. You’ll learn how to recognize substance abuse in the workplace and the best next steps to respond to it.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Ohio provides comprehensive treatment to address the physical and psychological needs of those struggling with substance use disorders. This may involve inpatient and/or outpatient care.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

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.
