This facility saved my life. Working in treatment myself, I got to experience what it’s really like to have caring and loving staff help you through one of the toughest times of anyone’s life. It is day and night compared to the facility I work at. Rooms are very comfortable and the food was pretty good as well! If you are someone looking for help through addiction/alcoholism/mental health this is the place. Case management is top tier and the BHTs are absolutely amazing. I could go on and on. I am forever grateful to this group of people.

I had high hopes going to ReCreate, as it came highly recommended by friends in this world. It’s a lovely, new and modern facility, and the staff are kind and friendly. Unfortunately, they have some bizarre and inexplicable rules, such as, if you leave within 48-hours (I wasn’t leaving to use, but as this wasn’t my first rodeo, I knew this place wasn’t for me), they keep your belongings. As in, you can’t leave with your phone, clothes, books, or anything else. I assume this is because *they* assume you’ll be back after falling off the wagon. That screams business over care to me. I was picked up by my elderly parents, who have only tried to help me get better, and yet I left without my things — for two days.
Also, the phone thing: I detoxed at Talbot Hall (it wasn’t fun, but I’m encouraged by the fact that the staff is a mix of people with lived experience and Masters-level professionals) — they had a system where a family member of loved one could leave a message, and you could call them back on a public phone, any time you weren’t in a group meeting. Signing up for a 15-minute window 3x a week borders on abuse.
Their website lists detox, in-house rehabilitation, PHP and IOP and yet, once I got there, I was pretty much told that it’s a rehab (period), and if I want IOP, they will need to refer me elsewhere. I only wanted detox, but there was pressure to stay.
I think this could be a great place if they work out these issues — again, the staff is knowledgeable and kind — and focus exclusively on the needs of their clients, but right now, having been through this more than once, it’s a zero for me — which is why I left after two days.

ReCreate is a very nice, clean facility located on pretty grounds in Gahanna, OH. The people who work there are very kind an helpful -- although, outside of medical practitioners, it is my personal opinion that some of the staff should be comprised of individuals who have not going through/are in recovery; a mix is desired.
ReCreate has some arbitrary rules that seem nonsensical. Having attended detox at Talbot Hall, I know that your loved ones can leave a message and you have the option to call them back any time you're in group. Unfortunately, ReCreate has an "on specific days" system that doesn't allow loved ones to check up on them, or speak to them, even for a few minutes.
In full disclosure, I left early, AMA. I felt I had been mislead about the nature of the program; that, a) it was a detox facility *in addition* to an inpatient rehab, including both PHP and IOP. Their homepage says, "We offer medical detox, inpatient rehab, intensive outpatient programs, and partial hospitalization with evidence-based programs and compassionate care for substance abuse and mental health disorders." When one is seeking detox only, they should not be pushed to get into a residential program. And, when I asked about PHP and IOP, I was told I would have to be referred elsewhere. Finally, there's a very strange thing about them literally holding your personal possessions -- including your money and your phone -- "hostage" for 48 hours, but if that 48 hours happens to take place on a weekend, they keep them until Monday, which wasn't articulated to me until I went to leave. My elderly parents picked me up and wanted to know why I couldn't have my belongings, and it was something about safety if someone is going to go out and use again. Clearly, as I claimed in the car with said parents, that wasn't the case. So, we will *returning* in two days to collect my things.

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.
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
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed for clients who need frequent, high-level care but do not require, or choose to forgo, inpatient treatment. Most intensive outpatient rehabs offer a minimum of nine hours of treatment weekly, though clients may receive up to 20 hours of care as needed. These programs typically combine various treatment modalities, including individual, group, and family counseling, medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction and recovery education, and evidence-based complementary therapies, such as acupuncture and massage.
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.
Medically Assisted Detox
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.
Inpatient
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.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Designed for individuals with moderate to severe addictions, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides a more intensive form of outpatient therapy. PHP treatment can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option after being discharged from a hospital or residential program. A partial hospitalization program typically requires a minimum of 20 hours weekly for an average of 90 days. Depending on your care plan, PHPs can include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services.
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.
Treatments
An alcohol use disorder (AUD), also commonly called alcoholism, can range from mild to severe. It involves compulsive consumption of alcohol and maladaptive patterns of drinking that lead to negative physical, social, and relational consequences. Diverse treatment programs are available for people with AUD. Mutual-support groups, medications, and behavioral treatments are provided through alcohol rehab in Ohio. If co-occurring disorders are present, it is important to receive treatment for both disorders.
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.
Mental Health And Substance Abuse
Opioid AddictionOhio's substance abuse treatment programs can support individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use. Typically available on an outpatient or inpatient basis, these programs employ evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and holistic approaches to provide effective addiction treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures long-term sobriety, improved mental health, and coping skills to overcome risk of relapse.
In Ohio, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs provide specialized care for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health conditions. These programs offer outpatient, residential drug and alcohol rehab, and intensive outpatient options. Treatment usually includes a thorough mental health assessment, tailored treatment plan, various types of therapy, and education to equip you with the tools to achieve and maintain your sobriety.
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.
Clinical Services
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.
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Ohio may occur in individual, group, or family sessions. It involves focusing on specific thought and behavior problems. Participants learn coping techniques and are asked to practice them as homework between sessions.
Equine TherapyFamily therapy offers a group time to collectively make an effort to understand and combat the issues and challenges associated with addiction. Therapists work with family members to establish healthy boundaries between each other and their loved one who is addicted, improve emotional support systems, and work together toward a sustained long term recovery.
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.
Therapists who apply motivational interviewing in Ohio don't try to confront clients or force advice onto them. Instead, they listen and come alongside clients to help them explore why and how they might decide to make changes for themselves.
Participants of group therapy sessions typically learn coping skills, communication techniques, and relapse prevention strategies. This unique set of skills helps you to navigate the challenges you find in the community and supports your long term sobriety.
