I didn’t expect to connect so deeply with others, but the group support made all the difference. Meals weren’t anything special, but I wasn’t here for the food. What mattered was the warmth and gentle care I got every day. My grief still lingers, but I’m healing now.

While you’re in residential care they try to provide a comfortable and safe environment for you to remain focused and get the healing you need. The benefits of gender specific treatment helps reduce the fear of feeling judged by others or also feeling too vulnerable to open from prior trauma which could impact your progress in treatment. By being able to support and receive treatment with your peers helps with developing communication skills, increases self awareness, and helps hold one another accountable.
Their community housing is fully furnished and also newly renovated with a kitchen, living rooms, bathrooms, double bedrooms, and a lovely outside area so you can be in nature.

This can help you continue to build a strong foundation in your recovery and still be in a safe setting before discharging or completion of care.
Their alumni program helps you stay connected or get connected with others who have experienced the same struggles from all different walks of life and continuing their recovery journey. Recovery is best defined as a journey because it’s an ongoing and lifelong adventure. The alumni program helps you build a community who can help support one another throughout life changing moments. Being reassured that you no longer have to continue the journey alone and having the opportunity to connect and help others will continue to add more enrichment and resilience to you and your life.

My experience at the Midwest Center was deeply disturbing, unprofessional, and emotionally damaging.
One staff member in particular, Brianna, was dismissive, disrespectful, and lacked even basic bedside manner. Instead of providing care, empathy, or professionalism, I was made to feel laughed at, humiliated, and belittled at a time when I was vulnerable and needed support the most. Her tone and behavior were cold and condescending, and I left feeling worse than when I arrived.
The culture at this facility feels careless and unsafe. There was little sense of accountability, compassion, or patient-centered care. Instead of being treated with dignity and respect, I was treated as an inconvenience. That is not healthcare — that is negligence toward people who are already suffering.
I would strongly caution anyone considering this facility to think twice. A healthcare center should be a place of safety and trust, not a place where patients walk away feeling traumatized and dehumanized.
This experience will stay with me for a long time — and not in a good way.
I am submitting this complaint because what occurred under Brianna’s care was not only unprofessional — it was cruel, negligent, and inhumane.
I was originally told that my stay would only be for a couple of days. Once I had sobered up, I was suddenly informed that they were attempting to keep me for seven days instead. This was especially distressing because my son’s birthday was approaching — an event I had already spent hundreds of dollars preparing for. What was presented to me as a short stay quickly turned into a forced extension without regard for my life outside of that facility.
I was informed that I would be given my personal belongings, including my keys, in order to go home. However, Brianna — who is nursing staff and does not handle housing decisions — made the decision to withhold my keys anyway. This overstep directly prevented me from leaving and caused additional distress and confusion.
Most alarming of all was Brianna’s behavior toward my roommate. She allowed my roommate to be heavily overmedicated. As a result, my roommate fell and hit her head three separate times on a hard concrete floor. While this occurred, Brianna stood by and laughed.
I was not present at the exact moment my roommate first hit her head. What I know is based on what she later told me and what I personally witnessed afterward. She described being humiliated, dismissed, and treated as if her suffering was a joke. That — combined with being medicated beyond safety — places what happened far beyond simple negligence and into reckless disregard for human life.
If you are a facility that claims to stand for care, safety, and accountability, then what happened here directly contradicts every one of those principles.
If you are looking for empathy, sympathy, or humanity — this is not the place.
This complaint is submitted not out of emotion, but out of necessity. What happened should never be allowed to happen again to anyone.
DO NOT GO HERE if you plan on getting a full time job that runs during their group hours. They will make you leave the next day without giving you time to find a place, knowing that you are going back into the frying pan at a place you can't stay sober at. Shout-out to some of the facilitators Kelsey, Carrie Ann, Marcus, and Ray. They are amazing and really give a shit about you, but as a business, just know going into it that this could happen to you.
Oh and I almost forgot the best part!! If your therapist is Scott, he will say you said words that you never said in his notes to the staff. He said that I said I was no longer interested in treatment. The words never fell from my mouth bi never even spoke to him about my discharge. This place is just interested in your insurance money. You can relapse a thousand times but they will keep you because you are going to group and they are getting paid. It's unbelievable. I was probably the most serious person about my recovery there and that wasn't considered when throwing me out. Or the fact that I complied completely with their programming, never was written up, didn't have five rehab boyfriends in my two month stay and was complimented by multiple facilitators on my polite misdemeanor and commitment to my recovery.

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.
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 Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Clients who have just completed detox or who are at an increased risk of relapse, such as those experiencing a life crisis, typically enroll in an inpatient rehab. There, they receive housing, meals, and intensive clinical supervision. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive individual, group, and family therapy. Clients may also participate in life skills training to support their long-term sobriety. Integrative rehab centers offer a variety of evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation or equine therapy.
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.
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.
Many treatment centers base their recovery models on the 12 step programming standard, which combines intensive peer support with spiritual, psychological, and emotional growth. Participants in 12 step recovery programs are expected to regularly attend group meetings, which are free, anonymous, peer-led, and open to the public. They are also required to select a sponsor to guide them through the recovery journey. These programs deploy spiritual principles to foster participants' self-understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, and accountability.
A sober living home in Ohio is often recommended for those completing a drug rehab program. When you leave the structured setting of rehab, returning home can trigger relapse due to the abrupt change in environment. Men's and women's sober living homes act as transitional spaces to continue developing tools for recovery before fully re-entering society. It gives you time to adjust to the demands of life, in a setting that is free from substances.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
Medical detox involves clearing your body of drugs and/or alcohol under the 24/7 care of licensed medical professionals. If you've become dependent on alcohol or drugs (like benzodiazepines or opioids), quitting abruptly can have uncomfortable and even dangerous side effects. The purpose of medically assisted detox is to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible during this process. Medications like Suboxone or Vivitrol may be provided if necessary to mitigate any withdrawal symptoms.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
Individual therapy for drug and alcohol addiction treatment gives you a safe space to discuss your emotional, mental, and physical challenges. Your therapist will guide and support you as you collaborate to develop personalized strategies to manage your stress and navigate the challenges of your recovery.
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.
Some couples therapy in Ohio is designed as short term treatment to address a specific problem in the relationship, such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. Other couples therapy may focus on general strengthening of the relationship by improving interactions.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingResearch 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.
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.
Experiential therapy in Ohio is a hands on intervention method that focuses on doing and feeling. The method is client centered and tailored to the individual's interests. It may include drama therapy, animal assisted therapy, martial arts, or wilderness therapy.
