About Harbor Behavioral Health – Behavioral Connections – Devlac Hall

You’ll find Harbor Behavioral Health – Behavioral Connections – Devlac Hall in Bowling Green, Ohio, less than half an hour outside of Toledo. For more than 100 years, this organization has provided behavioral health services for adults, adolescents, and people with disabilities. Their Bowling Green location welcomes Ohio adult women struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders.

Their residential program provides a safe structured living environment to step away from distractions and focus solely on recovery. Many spend between seven to eight weeks in treatment, learning more about addiction, recovery, and effective coping skills. You can access proven therapeutic interventions, including group and individual counseling, as well as workshops, group events and family visits.

What strikes me most is their specialized services for pregnant and postpartum women and mothers with young children. You can access targeted care, including parenting classes, family education and counseling to meet your unique needs. And one of the best parts is, babies and children aged five and younger can live on campus during treatment. That way, you don’t have to step away from your kids while getting the help you need.

Another great feature I noticed was their emphasis on removing treatment barriers. They understand that recovery can come with many hurdles. You can access family support, childcare, financial assistance and transportation to ensure nothing stands in the way of recovery.

I also think their vocational services are fabulous. You’ll benefit from vocational skills training and employment assistance programs. I found their Career Connections program to be a unique aspect. This track offers career assessments, job placement, and coaching for adults, youth and people with disabilities. You’ll benefit from guidance and support to start a new career that can help you become stable financially and in recovery.

This facility is the worst racist, unfair treatment to any and all black. They keep you isolated and treat you differently, the white clients are doing WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO. I was discharged for no reason just told I had to leave. No second chance, no warning and no truth to the lies that other racist clients told the staff. An autistic resident claimed I was harassing her and later that day I was discharged. They look for any reason to target you if you are black. Bad experience no one should have to go through what I did at this rehabilitation facility.

Accepted Insurance

Harbor Behavioral Health – Behavioral Connections – Devlac Hall works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

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

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Uses The Matrix Model for relapse prevention skills group therapy, providing up to 20 weeks of 2-hour, weekly group therapy sessions, providing the client with practical education about how to strengthen and maintain sobriety, and continue to build sober social connections which support a totally abstinent lifestyle. Group therapy is supported by weekly individual case management. This group is appropriate for a client who has already established at least several months of abstinent sobriety, and has already received and embraced education about addiction and has begun to establish a personal program of recovery.
inpatient iconInpatient
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.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are designed to ensure clients receive continuing care while in the maintenance phase of recovery. Some clients may be in outpatient treatment, which is generally considered to be an element of drug rehab aftercare. The specific services provided in these programs are often determined by the client's case manager and care team in consultation with the client. Common services include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Uses The Matrix Model and other Motivational Interviewing materials and techniques to help clients who are in the "contemplation" or very early "preparation" stage of change, as they contemplate the costs of developing and achieving a start at a totally abstinent lifestyle. This groups meets twice weekly for 1 1/2 hour sessions, and is targeted at the client who may not have necessarily achieved, or even attempted, sobriety at the time of engagement, but is willing to work with a case manager and group facilitator to address barriers in his/her life that have motivated AOD use and discouraged attempting sobriety. NIOP Early Intervention has no time limit, and can continue as long as the client is willing to engage.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

Ohio's substance abuse treatment programs can support individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use. Typically available on an outpatient or inpatient basis, these programs employ evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches to provide effective addiction treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures long-term sobriety, improved mental health, and coping skills to overcome risk of relapse.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. TF-CBT (Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a short-term treatment typically provided in 12 to 18 sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, depending on treatment needs. The intervention is typically provided in our office, but it has been used in community and in-home settings.

AOD treatment starts with an assessment to determine the person’s individual treatment needs. Services are provided based on the person’s treatment needs and according to the individual treatment plan created together by the client and staff. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. The YES Program includes both job placement and retention activities. Job development activities include: job readiness and job-seeking skills classes, job development and job placement. Retention activities include not only follow-along to intervene as needed with the employer and youth, but also life skills classes (eg, parenting skills, anger management, pregnancy prevention, and budgeting) and case management services to address non-work needs of participants such as transportation, child care, and other supports.

The main goals of dialectical behavior therapy are to teach you how to regulate your emotions, develop positive ways to cope with stress, improve your relationships, and live in the moment. This therapy lasts about six months and involves weekly individual and group sessions.

Let me be clear: this review is about the housing program at Harbor Behavioral Health, not the counseling side. This place is supposed to help people, but instead it feels like they’re just looking for any excuse to target you. I had a lot going on and tried to explain my situation, but they didn’t care. I was dismissed, ignored, and made to feel like I was constantly walking on eggshells. I was terrified to go to any of the managers because I was afraid of being yelled at or judged. And that fear? Totally valid. They treat clients like liabilities, not people. It got to the point where I had to block Harbor’s emails — not because I was avoiding them, but because they claimed they were afraid I might be phishing them. Then, somehow, their IT department accessed my personal computer and accused me of downloading “illegal content” — with no evidence, no explanation, just a write-up. They still haven’t told me what I supposedly did. I was also falsely accused of carrying a THC vape — which is impossible for personal health reasons I won’t go into — and later accused of sending a phishing email just for sending my work schedule. Are you serious? This whole system feels like a setup. You’re not supported — you’re surveilled. You’re not heard — you’re silenced. You’re not helped — you’re targeted. Although most of the staff are professional and supportive, there are certain individuals whose lack of empathy and follow-through undermine the overall quality of care. I wouldn’t recommend Harbor’s housing program to anyone. No one deserves to be treated like this. If I could give 0 stars, I would.
