About North Community Counseling Centers Bridge
In northern Columbus, Ohio, you can find the North Community Counseling Centers (NCCC) Bridge Location. Bridge is one of NCCC’s four locations in Columbus, out of which they run their substance use disorder (SUD) treatments. At their core, they view addiction as a disease that can be treated rather than a moral failure, a philosophy that imbues their treatments with a measure of grace. It also means they strive to promote the most effective modalities in helping patients recover.
At NCCC Bridge, anyone aged 18 and older can access their outpatient rehabilitation programs for alcohol and substance use disorders. They treat people on Medicare and Medicaid and can also accept people on a cash or self payment basis.
A Multimodal Approach to Recovery
NCCC’s approach to treatment rests on three pillars, the first of which is counseling. The program requires that patients come into the office for weekly individual and group counseling sessions. Here, they offer therapy and guidance to help patients through the recovery process and with other mental health counseling if required. NCCC does require that participants stay abstinent from illicit substances and use random drug testing to keep patients accountable.
The second pillar is the use of medication assisted treatment (MAT), understanding that some people will need a little more help during recovery. Because of this, participants must also keep regular appointments with a prescribing physician.
Addressing Concerns Beyond Substance Use
/
Many patients undergo treatment here as part of their parole or probation conditions. Because of this, NCCC also offers an additional program to educate patients further about the realities of SUD, give them life skills, and even help them work through their legal concerns.

At the start of their admission process, patients undergo an assessment to gauge their needs in relation to recovery from alcohol or substance addiction. At this point, it may become apparent to the assessor that a person’s needs are intensive enough to warrant inpatient care. If this is the case, NCCC can transfer the individual to one of their other locations where inpatient treatment is offered.

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.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
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.

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.
