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.

Today my wife was supposed to have surgery to fix her deviated septum. She received a call the day before asking what medications she was on, and confirming that she wasn’t on blood thinners and of course getting her time. My wife was transparent with her medication and told the worker that she was on ozempic. The woman on the phone never said anything about not taking it and didn’t ask when her last injection was. Today she was getting prepped and they canceled her surgery because she took her shot yesterday, like she was supposed to, because NO ONE TOLD HER NOT TO. The anesthesiologist was concerned about the risk of aspiration during surgery. Valid and I appreciate the caution, but I don’t understand why my wife wasn’t asked when her last dose was/or asked to hold off on her dose until after surgery. Ozempic is becoming more common, this NEEDS to be something they ask/talk to patients about BEFORE they waste time and show up for surgery. Very upsetting to say the least.

Spent a Thursday in the Trauma Center accomp Aging a patient receiving care after ansuto accident. It was a first visit for both of us. Staff were friendly and compassionate. Not at all rushed. They listened and answered questions. The care was professional and efficient. Pharmacies brought prescription to room before discharge. No complaints at all. So why not five stars? The facility was showing it's age. Very few amenities to fill the long hours. There was no "call button" to summon aid if needed.

Accepted Insurance

UH Geauga Medical Center, a campus of UH Regional Hospitals 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

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

inpatient iconInpatient

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 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.

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-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.
teen-program thumbnail image

Teen Program

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.

We had a wonderful experience at Geauga UH! Had our first baby here and everyone was so personable, kind, caring, and they explained everything so so well each and every time. I had many nurses and doctors but just to name a few that worked closely with me (Dr. Usis, RN Tracy, RN Megan, and Dr. Hartup). They were all amazing and took great care of me and were also very kind and accommodating to my husband as well. Highly recommend this phenomenal place.

Response from the owner
Hi Jessica – Congratulations on the newest addition to your family! We are honored to have been part of such a powerful moment in your life. It’s wonderful to hear that your care team provided clear communication and compassion care, both to you and your husband. We will share your feedback with our team and know it will mean a great deal. Wishing you and your growing family all the best in this exciting new chapter!

My mom went to ER twice and got sent home. Then went to Cleveland and found out she had multiple blood clots. Maybe they should listen to their patients. I will never go there for anything

Absolute nightmare place. Horrible treatment for my son. He was pink slipped by a doctor that never spoke to him and a 15 min interview on an iPad. They trough him In a room with nothing, he can’t have anything. Terrible for mental health. They actually make the situation so much worse. Filing a grievance. Dr was rude and incompetent. Security staff was cocky and out of line. Absolutely horrible. Do not go here with mental health issues. They will make you sicker

July of 2024 I went in for a concussion with a garage door incident, all they did was give me an iv with a "headache concoction" they called it and after a few hours sent me home stating I can go back to work the following day. Work the following day was torture so I went back to get checked out and they did the same exact routine and told me I was fine to return back to work the following day. After a few days of worsen symptoms I decided to go get checked out at a different hospital in Mayfield where they told me to take a few weeks off from work, put me on steroids and took the necessary scans and tests needed for a concussion, they set me up with a physical therapist for my back and neck and actually took the time and effort to make sure that I was healing properly. Overall with every interaction and experience I have with uh Geauga it is nothing but a horror and strongly recommend that change is needed in this facility

I, Misty Baker, am beyond words with the horrible treatment I received from UH Dr Milliman at this location. After a less than five minute visit she misdiagnosed me and only sent for X-rays and a z-pack after I was in tears from her ignoring my complaints. UH hospital administrators feel she did nothing wrong and “appropriately examined me”. She literally touched my foot for a second said there was a pulse so it obviously wasn’t broken. Last I knew you could have a broken bone and a pulse in the area. Additionally, when is a less than five minute exam considered “appropriate”. She is a HORRIBLE and extremely RUDE doctor and should not get away sub par treatment of patients. I will be switching to Cleveland clinic doctors after learning UH believes she gave me appropriate care. It was a Cleveland Clinic doctor that actually examined me and found the true problem. Shame on you UH for taking the side of your inadequately trained doctor over a 30+ year patient.

Absolute miserable experience here and every time we have been to UH, it has been nothing but problems. Take your loved one to any other Hospital because this place doesn't care about you, it only cares about the paycheck. There doctors aren't even intelligent enough to diagnose a disease after 3 weeks and just tell you oh well your better now. We don't know what it was but here's a 100k doctor bill. Then recently went there for my gf for a broken foot and they "helped" us enroll her into Medicaid. The. Scheduled multiple appointments where had to do self pay till Medicaid was approved then they could reimburse those expenses, but they signed us up for a Medicaid program that doesn't cover UH. But when I called before this last appointment to verify after the Medicaid was approved and it was good to go, the Billing department and the doctors office all said everything is good to go. I leave work early to take her to her appointment 45 mins away just to be told sorry we're not covered under the Medicaid plan and it's gonna be 650 dollars for a few X-rays. Then I ask questions on how this happened, and the office manager goes back to "talk to the doctor about what they can do to help". But instead she called hospital security on us to escort us out of the building. While I'm pushing my gf in a wheelchair. Worst experience ever and they need to be shut down, use any other Hospital by all means if you can. This hospital is the biggest joke I ever seen and is nothing but a money scam

My 19 yr old physically disabled daughter was transported from UH Geauga at 10:00a.m this morning to this facility. It’s 6pm and she has not been assigned to a room or # so people can call and speak with her.!!! On top of that she’s physically disabled and uses AFO’s to ambulate. They are giving her issues about even having the AFO‘s in the first place which she cannot walk if she does not have them and then they tell her her shoes may have to be replaced when they’re especially designed in order to fit the AFO’s. She has been waiting this entire time to have a bed and she has not had sleep in over 24 hours because she was being held at the hospital. She is there because she wants to commit suicide and they put her in a holding room with a whole bunch of people who are withdrawing and are on drugs. That is not something you do to someone who is mentally and emotionally going through suicidal tendencies, not only that they are taking away her rights by not providing her with the things that she needs in order to ambulate around the building. I am not sure that this place is suitable to have anybody staying there, let alone somebody with mental and emotional issues this place is unsuitable and there is no one. I have tried several times I have called several times and I have been patronized by being called sweetie. They cannot do anything about it until they have a room but being held in a room with other people that are not going through what she is….AND For over five hours is absolutely insane to me!!!!! I have tried to call the number several times NO HELP THE LINE KEEPS DISCONNECTING this place is not a place to go to this place is absolutely awful!!!!!!!!!! I hope to God I can get a hold of someone because this is not suitable for my daughter!!!
