About Jewish Family Service Association (JFSA)
Jewish Family Service Association (JFSA) of Cleveland in Beachwood, Ohio, offers comprehensive healthcare including treatment for mental health and developmental disorders. Beachwood sits about 10 miles east of downtown Cleveland, and although the environment is quieter here you’ll still find plenty of helpful community resources, including easy access to public transportation.
JFSA’s mission is rooted in Jewish values, but they’re committed to serving the broader community in Northeast Ohio, assisting individuals and families of all faiths and backgrounds. Many patients have praised the facility for its welcoming environment and supportive staff. While substance use disorder (SUD) treatment is not provided directly at this site, staff can provide referrals through their connection to MetroHealth Systems.
Comprehensive Support for Adults and Older Adults
Therapy and psychiatric care are available for clients dealing with serious mental illness or the effects of trauma. Staff are also trained to recognize when substance use may be contributing to someone’s mental health struggles.
Seniors can get help here for a range of mental health issues including support for Alzheimer’s or dementia. SUDs are sometimes overlooked in this age group, but due to chronic pain and medication misuse it’s not uncommon for seniors to need help. Any adult receiving services here can get a referral if needed to Recovery Services, their addiction treatment center in Cleveland.
A Place to Recharge and Connect
If someone is working through both addiction and mental health challenges The Kindness Center gives them a safe place to connect with others. There’s art and music therapy and even movie nights. This is a bright clean space that one visitor described as feeling welcoming from the moment they walked in.
JFSA of Cleveland has a strong reputation for being supportive and genuinely committed to helping people deal with life’s challenges. As one client shared, the “staff’s dedication has a positive impact on their clients’ lives,” and that kind of care can go a long way for someone in recovery.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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.
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. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
