About Harbor
Harbor Behavioral Health’s Port Sylvania is an outpatient program for adults, teenagers, and families in Toledo, Ohio. If you’re in need of substance use or mental health services, this is the program for you.
Due to their being an outpatient provider, you’ll have access to multiple services. They offer psychiatric services which can provide you with evaluations for a specific diagnosis as well as the chance to receive medications if needed. There’s therapy on an individual or group basis. They can make recommendations for residential care if the need arises. There are also prevention services onsite and in the community.
One thing that stands out to me about this program is their vocational rehabilitation program that can set you up with multiple career and educational opportunities. They also have services that focus on behavioral and developmental needs. If you’re in need of a crisis assessment, part of their services include a mental health urgent care that can provide care to all ages with or without insurance.

There aren't enough stars in the universe to remove that would make this review even more worth it.I've had an appointment through this joke of a place for 5 months and that because EVERYTIME an hour before the appointment (that includes taking time off work and kids out of school- I have 4) I get a call saying the comedian (therapist) is "sick" or "had an emergency". If I did that inside of a day cancelation, I'd get reprimanded and get a strike against me but this is, again, 5 months in the making and sadly I couldn't go elsewhere because of-you guessed it- insurance which is probably why this comedy office building exists and are able to operate as such. No wonder these offices are closing like crazy. They hire clowns!Do yourself a favor folks. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. There are other offices not affiliated with Harbor that take your insurance and chances are your insurance pays for rides to appointments so take the opportunity and DONT GO TO HARBOR
if i could rate a 0 I would. I have been with harbor for about 4 years and they have been nothing but disinterested in patient s time, care, and wellbeing. Out of the 10 different therapists that I tried, not a single one could form a connection or remain consistent with their care for me. Psychiatrists are rude, and so are the nursing assistants. It s clear that they don t want to do their job. Every single time that I have been referred to a nurse or supervisor, without fail, they never pick up the phone OR return calls. When I voice an issue to my psychiatrist, the answer is always you are seeking a diagnosis. It took 3 years of asking for ADHD/ Autism screening for them to finally believe my testimonies that I needed those services, and the waitlist was over a year. The best part is, when my psychiatrist transferred to a different company, I was never informed. Not even an email or a call. I had to call and schedule an appointment just to be informed that he was no longer with Harbor, and that I was not on the list of people to reach out to because of an appointment cancellation. DO NOT SEEK SERVICES HERE IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR WELL BEING.

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.
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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.
Intensive Outpatient Uses The Matrix Model for early recovery skills group therapy, providing up to 18 3-hour, 3x/week group therapy sessions educating the client on recognizing the symptoms and triggers for addiction, establishing a solid program of recovery, avoiding triggers, and integrating socially with others in recovery, to establish a totally abstinent lifestyle. Group therapy is supported by weekly individual case management.
Intervention 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.
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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
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.
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 provide stability. They increase the strengths that you bring to recovery by equipping you with the tools you need to navigate daily life. During rehab, you'll develop these strengths through life skills training that focuses on both cognitive and behavioral abilities.
