About UH Geauga Medical Center, a campus of UH Regional Hospitals

Their inpatient program is best suited if you need a high level of structure and supervision. Here, you’ll receive psychiatric care and medication management to help control cravings and to help with withdrawal pains. The main method of treatment is through individual and group therapy. You’ll explore your own strengths and weaknesses while helping others recover.

One strength of the program is dual diagnosis treatment, in which you’ll receive treatment for underlying conditions that can fuel addiction. Typically, these can involve anger, trauma, or anxieties. You can learn ways to cope without resorting to alcohol or drugs. The medical center has other departments that can assist with diagnosing underlying conditions, and you can be referred for mental and physical therapy.

When you complete your inpatient program, you can move to an outpatient program. You’ll have more flexibility when it comes to your sessions. You can also sign in via Telehealth to continue treatment from home.

Lisa in the Physician and Medical Staff Credentialing Department went above and beyond to help with a very serious problem with one of the staff hospitalists. Jessica W. the nursing supervisor also went above and beyond trying to find this doctor to get resolve as did Sarah B the day before. Those three ladies took ownership trying to solve a problem and be helpful and kind - in this day and age that is very rare at such a large hospital. The Chief of Staff got involved as well. So hopefully we will get something accomplished now that 4 employees of UH had to beg one doctor to do their job. With thanks and admiration - Mike C

I’ve unfortunately had very many experiences with them and without getting into detail they are by far the best hands down the best hospital in my area besides Cleveland clinic. Cleveland clinic will always be #1. However, this hospital right here will always be a very close second. Geauga medical center is the very reason my grandmother is still alive today and is also the reason I’m still alive today. They will always be my first choice if possible. When medically possible that is. Thank you Geauga Medical Center. ❤️🙏🏻🥺🥹

Most of the staff was very friendly. Despite 2 power outages from a storm that went through a couple days ago the staff still worked very quickly. They make sure you're well-informed and answer your questions ❓. I understand that I was the final patient and it was Friday but they could have a little bit more patience for concerned relatives. The property around the hospital is very well kept up and made to look non hospital 🏥 like , it looks more like you expect a hotel or park entrance to be.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

UH Geauga Medical Center, a campus of UH Regional Hospitals works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

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.

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.

Programs

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 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.

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

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.

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.

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.

Was Not Impressed! I took my family member to this hospital over the summer for a hip fracture, and the overall experience was very disappointing. She was placed in a bed in the hallway, and although a nurse said she would be given pain medication, it was forgotten. Later, staff attempted to perform a test that would have caused significant pain without the medication. I had to step in and advocate for her to receive it before the test was completed. Documentation in the ER was also poor — several important details and events were never properly recorded. During her stay, my family member experienced multiple health emergencies, including a blood transfusion, several AFib episodes, and pneumonia. Despite this, the family was never notified — even though she had authorized communication and her family’s contact information was on file. When I raised this concern with the patient advocate, I was told the hospital typically does not reach out to family members unless there is an emergency. These certainly seemed like emergencies to me. She also made several requests for assistance that were never followed up on, even after staff said they would return. For example, when she was discharged and required ambulance transport, she had to pack her own belongings despite being told that staff would assist. Overall, the staff often seemed reluctant or inconvenienced to help patients. The food was also disappointing — very basic and unappetizing, even by hospital standards. If you must take a loved one to this hospital — especially compared to TriPoint, which I found even worse — be prepared to advocate strongly and monitor their care closely. I was also not impressed with the hospital’s patient advocate.
