This is Melissa, I was just released not by the Dr. BUT BY A JUDGE!!!! Which my probate papers were stolen. Nothing was done about it. Unless I would still be there just so they get money from the state for each person. The Dr. reasoning, she was scared I would go to a hospital because I have pain from a botched surgery. That is no reason. They were pushing antidepressants down my throat. There were fights every hour. I had to defend myself the first two hours I was there. I got food spit in my face and not a dam thing was done about it. Not that I didn't try!!!!! This place needs shut down immediately!!!! The phycologist is a freaking joke, she spends two minutes with you and she thinks she knows you. I'm talking to my lawyer!!!!!

I personally know someone who talked their way into being discharged from here on a Sunday because of the abusive and disgusting treatment they received. They were a patient back in July 2021 and still deal with the night terrors from this hellscape.

This facility is crawling with pests. There were flies everywhere, bedbugs, rodent droppings, crumbs, open biohazards and careless staff who are constantly on their phones. It wasn't until I mentioned to the nurse on duty that I was trained on OSHA violations and health codes due to my work as a general manager in retail did they take my complaints about urine on the floor of my room by my room-mate seriously. There were no beds available in northern Ohio and I was sent here due to mental health issues related to insomnia. The area is segregated between men and women. Yet men will come in and leer over women in their beds, shining tables in their eyes and stomping in and out every 15 minutes (when this can and WAS done from the doorway). I had a full mental health episode due to insomnia because it was untreated and made worse. Not to mention I was given a bed with dirty sheets, open bottles of ensure that had been there for who knows how long, and the previous person's items were left there. I wasn't given medication or earplugs to aid with sleep until AFTER I had a full mental health incident, which is what I was trying to prevent. I'm fully prepared to sue this location for their negilence and disgusting facilities. This place needs to be shut down permanantly.

Accepted Insurance

Ohio Hospital for Psychiatry works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Blue Cross Blue Shield

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

Outpatient rehabs offer robust wraparound care for clients who are stepping down from intensive inpatient care, with many facilities providing multiple levels of care, including partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), sober living/halfway housing, and standard outpatient programming. Clients may also elect to enroll in outpatient care immediately after completing inpatient detox. Those who are at lower risk of withdrawal complications may also choose to receive ambulatory medical detox from an outpatient facility. Outpatient programs typically involve addiction counseling, recovery education, and/or medication assisted treatment (MAT). Holistic therapies, such as art and music therapy, are commonly available.

Inpatient

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

Intensive Outpatient programs 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. IOP is offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

Aftercare 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.

12-Step

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.

Partial Hospitalization Program

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.

Medically 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. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Treatments

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.

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.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

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.

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.

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.

With trauma therapy, you can reclaim your life after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Therapists help you process the memories, which promotes emotional healing and enables you to build resilience to navigate future challenges and triggers.

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Creative arts therapy can be an effective tool for recovery. It can relieve depression and anxiety and help you feel more in control of your life. Through creative expression, it can help you explore difficult emotions and process challenging situations.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

*edit* this recently came up as so many people have seen it and now that I’m not suffering from the severe anxiety and depression this place gave me, I would like to fully explain the situation. As a licensed professional myself, I watched many medical emergencies. I watched a man fully seize due to cold turkey cut off all of his meds, another guy I became close with was shaking uncontrollably due to cold turkey cut off all of his meds. I watched another man be rushed to the ER bc his sugar levels were never checked by the staff and they wouldn’t allow him to and they almost caused him to go into a full coma. There was no therapy events, no managing your meds etc. they had zero sense of care for their patients. I had to beg for laundry bc they were refusing me any clothes. I watched a friend have a meltdown bc they Cold Turkey cut his schizo meds. The food is terrible. I lost 8 pounds in 3 days. We basically played cards all day every day bc there was nothing else for us to do. The diagnosing psychologist meets you one time for about 5 seconds and diagnoses you. This place messed me up. When I got out my family took me to eat and I profusely cried because it all hit me what I just went through in there. It was terrible and I only was there 3 days. Please please please never go here! The staff is awful and have no clue what they’re doing. They almost killed multiple people, neglect their patients, and make things worse. They do not help with meds and do not do any form of counciling. This place was more like a prison! Myself, and everyone in there plans to sue them for their treatment to patients! DO NOT GO HERE!

If I could report this facility I would. My mother was there and the endless issues with lack of meals, snacks, activities and above all safety. It was reported to me that staff are currently on their phones, that nurses do not know their medications or patient names and that management is always unavailable. Please someone help us report this facility. I will be reporting this place and talking with former patients to shut this facility down. This has been recent, within the last two weeks.

I was there for 5 days and they never even gave my thyroid or anxiety medication till day 4 then I never got it on day 5 either. The beds are so bad I got 10 hours sleep in 5 days. The doctor and staff communication to each other. I would tell the doctor I didn't get my meds and she couldn't believe it. I have been taking both my meds for 18 years. Side effects if you don't get your levothyroxine. You can expect your symptoms to return if you stop taking your thyroid medication and have hypothyroidism. Typically, the longer you go without your medication, and the more severe your thyroid disease is, the higher your risk is for developing severe and even life-threatening conditions. Other symptoms Debilitating weight loss. Nervousness, anxiety or panic attacks. Fatigue or muscle weakness. Irregular menstrual cycle. Insomnia. Rapid pulse or heart palpitations. High blood pressure. Hair loss. I had numerous panic attacks the other patients would tell the staff and acted like they didn't care.

I was sent to the intensive care unit because i was told there was no bed for me in the regular unit. So i was taken to the intensive care unit There was a person there that was born the way he was, in my eyes he didnt belong there. Some others wanted to fight me just because i was using the phone and i seen workers yelling and being rude to the ones that was being rude n just trying to creat problems. So when i finaly seen a doctor in the intensive care unit i looked at her and said can u get me away from these people. She said i dont know why you are even over here about 30 min later i was taken to the regular unit and there was numrous beds empty. I never talked to a counselor not 1 time the doctors u would see you one time in the morning for maybe 2 min check your blood pressure and temp and if u said i miss my kids well then they just give u more pills i dont get how a doctor u see for 2 min can help fix your problem. I also asked for another blanket, i get cold when sleeping i was told no so the next morning i was so cold shaking then when they took my temp it was 96 almost hypothermic. The doctor said to who ever was at the desk to give me another blanket and she told her no and they had words with one another the doc kept saying its medical and i final got another blanket. The same thing happened the next day temp was 97 i had to have 3 blankets just to stay warm because that room was so cold. The chair n seats in the place stunk like a dirty butt. There was no group thereapy never talked to a counselor. The other thing is they wouldnt give me my medication for 3 days they kept telling me the prescription wasnt ready i litteraly brought my meds with me and gave it to them because i need it, then it was they didnt know what they done with it. 3 days. i think they were trying to get me to flip out so they could keep me longer or unalive me i dont care, u dont keep medication from a person that needs it. It took everthing in me to not tell them how dumb an unorganised they are. i mean they lost my med and who was the one suffering me i didnt even get a apology. I wouldnt recommend the place to no one u will have more problems when u leave i thank god almost every day when i wake up in my bed. U go there good chance u will have ptsd by the time u leave. They should have no star.

If I could leave a more than negative review I would, my husband is here right now, and they will not call me back. I’ve talked to my husband 2 times, he had strokes a few weeks ago and called me saying he thinks he’s having another one then The phone hung up and the nurses are ignoring him.i had to call 911 and send them there I had to threaten a lawsuit for them to even let me talk to him in the first place. I want my husband transferred out of that hospital and don’t know how to do it, I will be calling everywhere tomorrow. Attorneys, police, health department!! THIS PLACE NEEDS SHUTDOWN!

Terrible. The doctors don't pay any attention to drug interactions and have no problems prescribing 7 or more at a time. Some of the staff is very nice, but some of them have no business being in the psychiatric field. Even if you voluntarily sign in they pink slip you so you can't leave. Update: I was forced to return to this facility 10+ years later, in April 2025. It's gotten far, far worse. There's a reason most of the reviews that are decent are actually from their staff. Please, I beg you: do not allow your vulnerable family members to be admitted to this "facility". I came here seeking legitimate help during a psychiatric crisis. I was vulnerable, and I admit I needed care. But what I received instead was exploitation—because I had decent insurance, because I could be shamed, and because this for-profit institution is incentivized to prolong suffering rather than treat it. I left worse than I entered, and it's taken over a month to undo the trauma from being there enough to write about it. Every medical and human right I should have been afforded was systematically denied during my stay. It felt like a real-life Milgram experiment—with staff alternating between “good cop” and “bad cop,” psychological coercion disguised as care. There was a week without real phone access even, that no one in there cared about. I was repeatedly gaslit when I tried to advocate for myself and for other patients being denied medical attention. I was punished for showing compassion. I was told—by some of the kindest-seeming staff—that the place had to exist, because it was the “only option” for people who’d get no care otherwise. That’s not a justification. That’s a trap. I couldn’t get nine minutes of uninterrupted sleep without someone barging in. Sleep deprivation became systemic. It made every medication less effective, then that failure was blamed on me. I was exposed to known sexual predators, and my concerns were dismissed. On a women’s unit, the only staff overnight was a male orderly, which was extremely unsafe and retraumatizing as a survivor of sexual assault. There was very, very little by way of actual treatment to be had. You might get a group in the morning involving art, sometimes (on some units, not the intensive ones) there was an actual group involving mental health in the afternoon. The nurse who provided it was wonderful, but she was only one person and couldn't be there for the whole hospital, everyday. I would name her, but I'm afraid they would fire her for being decent to patients. Medication therapy was basically it. I was forced onto medications that were not suited to my needs—but fit the facility’s framework. When they didn’t work (because I couldn’t rest or recover in that environment, or it was a bad medication for me), I was labeled “noncompliant.” That label extended my stay—for as long as insurance would allow. I tried to communicate honestly during intake, but a psychiatric nurse (Amber) distorted my words beyond recognition. The resulting documentation didn’t reflect my experience—it depicted a caricature of someone dangerous and dishonest, rather than someone in pain. I was placed under a court order by a doctor that never met me. This led to forced treatment, with no meaningful legal explanation provided. I asked every staff member I could—including the so-called patient advocate—and no one would help me understand my legal rights. Often such vital information was denied with glee. I was denied the chance to make an informed decision about being there voluntarily or not. Even the “advocate” appeared either incompetent or complicit. Complicit, if you ask me. At every step, the facility’s actions appeared to prioritize billing and punishment over care. I was there as long as Aetna would pay, based on fabricated reports and manipulated narratives. My health, my rights, and my trauma were commodified. I am sharing my story so others don’t suffer in silence. So others won't decide there is no cry for help anymore if this is the "help". Take your loved ones anywhere else. Please.

Angela Dephillips

They stole all my medicine, they had all my other stuff but supposedly couldn't find my medicine that I need for health issues plus my mental issues and kept sending me to a voicemail box that no one responds to. I couldn't get them refilled for insurance reasons. My throat swells up and bleeds without my medicine and they do not care.

Angela McCoy

This place does not deserve a star. I was there. I was in the “intensive therapy ward” before I was sent to the regular people ward. The intensive therapy ward is just a place where people are severely neglected and their basic needs are not taken care of. Their mental health issues are definitely made worse by being yelled at all day long. It’s disgusting. I was a rape victim that dissociated to the point of blacking out. They sent me to this place to be treated like a schizophrenic. They do not treat them well, if you’re wondering. The financial person, went through my wallet and told me they found my bank card, and wanted access to my bank card, and that they needed a down payment for care. It’s total bullshit and a serious scam. It needs shut down. They aren’t caring for people. The smell alone made me vomit one morning. The entire experience made everything worse. You think you’re sending your loved one away to be helped with their traumatic experiences to be met with places like this.

I will update this once I am able to fully express my experience here. Horrible hospital. Never send a loved one here, or go here yourself. Unless you want your mental health to decline more!
