Recovery Works Columbus provides detox, residential, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and alumni services.

The detox at Recovery Works Columbus is for those who are seeking to remove all harmful substances from their body. It is overseen by professionals who are trained in addiction medicine and who can help create a safe and effective detox. Medications will be used to provide as much comfort as possible.

Residential treatment is for individuals who need a high level of care and support during the initial stages of their treatment. Individual treatment plans are created and consist of individual, family, and group therapy in addition to medication management, anger management, and grief and loss therapy. Evidence based and clinical treatments, along with traditional 12 Step and SMART meetings will be offered.

The partial hospitalization program at Recovery Works Columbus is a step down from the inpatient program. It often serves as a bridge between inpatient and traditional outpatient treatment. Group sessions, individual therapy, and regular meetings take place throughout the week.

Intensive outpatient programming is a step down from partial hospitalization programs and serves as a way to move toward more autonomy while practicing new skills and tools that have been learned during the recovery process. Traditional treatment methods continue, including therapy, group sessions, and psychoeducational classes.

Alumni support groups are available to individuals who have completed treatment programming at Recovery Works Columbus. This programming provides long term recovery support between peers. Traditional meetings include speakers, themes about recovery, family night, and other recovery based topics. This is a free service meant to foster a sense of community.

The pictures aren’t completely accurate as it’s not as comfy as it appears. But, I did not go there for a vacation. I went there to get help. I needed the structure in my life, That’s what saved me. Basically it dried me out for the first 60 days, but it got my mind clear so I could believe in the possibilities of what could be The real work began when I left. I’m creeping up onto two years sober and everything I thought it was gonna be it is but more. The people there truly did care about me. They were coming from a place of understanding because they’ve been there. It’s a lot easier to trust in someone that has walked in your shoes. I appreciate the fact that everyone that works there other than the nurses are former addicts of some sort. You can’t force someone to get sober for you. They must do it for themselves and they must want it. I had to want sobriety more than I wanted to drink and how it made me feel and how it let me forget All the things I kept telling myself that I was. It turns out I was none of those things. I’m a beautiful human being that has a story to share to help another human love themselves and not judge themselves. Thank you to the staff at recovery Works for not judging me and treating me with love and respect. One day at a time I remain sober but only by the grace of God and staying close to my program.

This is by far one of the best hospitals I've been to they take care of you and do the best they can to help they helped save my life a few times. Though when it comes to treating and looking at parasitic infections hospitals in America are far under advanced and not thoroughly doing all they can to treat them I know I have a parasite but it remains to be undetected somehow and this is truly disturbing to me. I do not know what it is but it has impacted the entire quality of my life. I can only hope God can help me make it through these hard times.

Accepted Insurance

Recovery Works Columbus works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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 iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
If you need an intensive, structured setting with 24-hour care, their inpatient program offers a medically monitored, evidence-based therapeutic process. Your customized treatment plan will include counseling, group therapy, their 12-step program, life skills development, addiction education, and mental health treatment as needed.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
If you can’t attend their inpatient program, their intensive outpatient program offers more flexible but equally rigorous treatment. Their evidence-based treatment includes individual, group, and family therapy, education classes, and 12-step meetings. Long-term onsite medication-assisted treatment is also available.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Stopping your use of drugs or alcohol can lead to intense discomfort and physical cravings. On your own this has a high risk of potentially severe consequences—they provide medically-supervised withdrawal. 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.

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.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

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). Group therapy gives you an opportunity to talk with others facing similar challenges. In addition to helping you realize you are not alone, it is a good forum for practicing new, healthier interactions and challenge your current attitudes.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Whether part of your initial outpatient treatment or part of maintaining your sobriety, counseling is a cornerstone of their treatment programs. In addition to a safe, supportive place to talk, their counselors provide education on the skills needed for lasting recovery and healthy living.

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.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Designed for those with a loved one in residential treatment, their family support group offers time to hear from and talk with families in similar circumstances. It also provides education on living with and supporting someone in recovery. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment.

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.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

A great place to get sober. I wish they had more than Texas toast bread for PB&J's as a snack. They used to offer different selections of bread and had juice. They now have a water machine and a flavored water machine. They always have milk and coffee.

The pictures are not accurate representations of the facility. Not by a long shot. First off it's three to bedroom and cramped. The facility has been beat down from lack of maintenance since those pictures were shot years ago. It's overcrowded and so congested clients constantly had anxiety attacks. The furnishings are horrible and in disrepair. The food is just terrible and processed to death. The staff is under qualified and overworked. There is absolutely no individualized treatment planning, although they will doctor paperwork to make it appear there was for insurance billing purposes. Their PHP house was lacking in furniture when I was there and they had the audacity to tell us to sleep and sit on the floor. The reason for this was they had bedbugs and didn't bother to replace the infested furniture they were required to toss out. Half of the clients are so high on methadone they spend the majority of their time nodding out. Lovely to observe that day and night while in treatment. Homophobia runs rampant. Good employees are run out and the worst are promoted, ensuring the toxic culture continues on. Medicaid needs to shut this trap house down. It's the bottom of the barrel.

I went there and had to be sent to the hospital for detox because they said they couldn't do anything for me and while I was at the hospital all my clothes and stuff was stolen by the roommates I had and they went AMA with all of it then on the day I went home they said they lost my bags that were "locked up"

Most of the comments I see are sad because people be felling like it's a privilege to get treatment and be focused on the wrong thing. The goal is to get clean not be on vacation and expect it to be 5star if people would focus on what they need to do and not what to expect material things wouldn't bother us.

I will give Recovery Works a star because I will agree some staff actually do come to work there because they care, however, the dynamic & atmosphere of the place will quickly change that. I worked for Pinnacle for a year and a half and I will be the first to say, it’s a scheme. The groups facilitated are NOT productive towards the clients recovery because most of the groups are being ran by RAs who do not have the credentials to run them. They just need group to happen to get paid. They let clients disrespect the RAs & nursing staff with no consequence but if it’s directed towards a counselor or leadership, then the person gets kicked out or put on a BC. Just showing they don’t care about certain staff departments. One clients insurance pays about $15,000 for detox & a 28 day rehabilitation stay but somehow, the linens are disgusting and uncomfortable! Sometimes we didn’t even have any clean blankets or any pillows at all to give to people when they would come in, not that the pillows would make much of a difference because it’s like a piece of paper. The rooms are disgusting, the carpet needs replaced. The showers are falling apart. Mind you, staffing and clients report these incidents daily and it takes months for them to be fixed. The environment they are expecting people to stay sober in is ridiculous. If you are thinking of admitting here or working here.. RUN. Far. Leadership will manipulate & lie to you. They will dangle positions in your face, get you all excited and take it away just as fast. It happened to me THREE times with two different positions I was interested in. To them, your there for grunt work. Lazy workers get promoted and accommodated to positions that fit their laziness and the hard workers get nothing but false promises. This place is by far the most unprofessional, unethical, money scheming places I have ever worked for. Do some hard thinking before you get yourself involved with Pinnacle.
