About OhioMHAS – Bureau of Correctional Recovery Services

The Bureau of Correctional Recovery Services operated by The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is based in Columbus, Ohio. They have partnered with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) to provide evidence-based treatment for incarcerated individuals struggling with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues. The Bureau aims to foster responsibility and equip offenders with skills to become law abiding citizens by promoting recovery and successful community reintegration.

Tailored Length of Treatment

The services they provide include both inpatient and intensive outpatient programs. Services can range from four weeks to six months in length. The length of the program will be based on your specific individualized needs.
Both of the programs offer group and individual counseling and utilize evidence based therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy. The therapies will help address addiction and mental health challenges like depression or PTSD. Through group counseling, you’ll benefit from the support and encouragement of peers who are also going through recovery.

Additional Support and Programs

The Bureau uses a holistic approach that may incorporate life skills training such as time management, career guidance and relapse prevention. Learning these skills will provide support for sobriety post-release. They also offer peer support to connect you with trained peers who share lived experiences which can enhance your recovery through relatable guidance.
Additionally, the Bureau conducts substance abuse assessments, alcohol and drug testing and discharge planning. Clients value the supportive staff but some did note challenges with staff availability.

SHOULD BE CALLED DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTIONS. MOST OHIO DRC STAFF ARE CORRUPT TO THE BONE. DO NOT TRUST THEM. THE MAJORITY OF THE CORRECTIONS OFFICERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO CYA. THE HIGHER UPS WILL DO THE SAME...CYA. BE VERY AWARE....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Half the workers should be incarcerated for their actions. A lot of inmates are more intelligent than the staff.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

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.

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.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Belmont Correctional Institution: Bambi Grigg · 2 hours ago THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE ARE EVERY BIT AS CROOKED AS THE INMATES!!! The corrections officers steal the possessions of the men who get thrown in the hole & keep their items or give them away to the other inmates thinking they have some right to hand out vigilante justice. They should be in the prison for theft too, yet they face no consequences. The so-called "inspectors" cover up for their thieving co-workers. Most of the employees in there lie and the rest cover up for their lying co-workers. The warden and his cronies give preferential treatment to the child molesters/panders over the other inmates allowing them to break the rules with no consequences and allowing them to hold positions that they are undeserving of, refusing to give those positions to deserving inmates. They pat them on the back for violating children or their crimes against children. They deny inmates basic human rights like clean drinking water, trucking clean bottled water in for the employees but making the inmates drink unsanitary water (which the warden himself tested and found it to not be up to par). The corrections officers eat the Aramark food which is for the inmates which they are "supposedly" not allowed to do. The corrections officers do not do their job in making sure that every inmate gets a fair opportunity to use the phones with a fair rotation being done. They do nothing. They don't call in repairs to be done to the phones and JPAY machines on a timely basis. Phones and JPAY machines sit broken for long periods of time. The warden and the whole group there are retaliatory to the inmates if the inmates or their families expose their wrongdoings to Columbus. They do things like deny inmates their mail. The mail room does not follow policies and procedures properly. Mail for inmates is randomly thrown out. Some inmates will get their mail while others are denied theirs. C.O.'s and their superiors speak to the inmates in very inappropriate manners about inappropriate subjects. If there is a problem with anything, the prison officials want you to contact them and not Columbus or anyone higher up because they don't want Columbus to know about all of the wrongs that they pull there. When Columbus finds out about their wrong doings, they get called on the carpet and then they in turn retaliate against the inmate or their family who exposed them. If they weren't so crooked, they wouldn't have a problem with Columbus being notified of what they are doing. They outright lie making up charges against inmates in retaliatory efforts. They threaten and coerce inmates. Inmates in there are allowed to buy and use suboxone strips or weed and they are never punished for it especially if they are sex offenders. Inmates are treated unequally and unfairly and inconsistently. I don't know how those people who work there live with themselves and their conscience (probably because they have none) or how they even look themselves in the face in the mirror. My fondest hope for each and every employee in there is that they have a loved one who is sent to prison and that loved one is treated just as badly as they treat inmates in their prison. I hope their loved ones suffer and are abused just like they make inmates suffer and abuse them. They are all pompous, arrogant, lying, thieving, illiterate bottom feeders.

My son, Stephen Brennan, was #super exceeding, what any paroled person has ever done after "rehabilitation" from Ohio "corrections facility ". He owned his own construction company. For a minor infraction, these aholes, decided that, he should be remanded back to the ugly state of Ohio. And the powers that be, decided that he should be placed in the "safe environment of his fathers home ". My son died of an Overdose in his father's Ohio house. And his father allowed a drug dealer in his house, and his father is employed by the state of Ohio. My son would still be alive if Ohio idiot judges knew better.
