About White Light Behavioral Health

If you’re looking for a full service drug and alcohol rehab in Columbus, Ohio, you can try White Light Behavioral Health. You’ll find them near the Mason Run, a small stream connected to the Big Walnut Creek. You’ll get full recovery support, from detox through to aftercare, as well as mental health treatment. They provide both residential and outpatient treatment.

Multi-Substance Detox in Ohio

Withdrawing from multiple substances simultaneously is a complicated process that requires medical monitoring and intervention. I noticed that this is one of their specialized services. Drugs and alcohol affect how your brain works. When you stop taking them, your mind and body often need help to adjust to functioning normally again.

They’ll care for your medical and emotional needs as the chemicals leave your system. Physically, they’ll treat symptoms like nausea, seizures, anxiety and insomnia. Apart from addiction meds, they’ll make sure you get good nutrition, hydration and relaxation. You’ll have counselors to support you emotionally through issues such as trauma, grief or loss.

Positive Reinforcement in Columbus

An aspect of their recovery that stood out to me was that they offer contingency management. This involves receiving tokens for achieving recovery goals, which can be used for bus passes, food, gas or other needs. It’s a great feeling to have earned a reward for doing what’s best for yourself and your family.

Along with regular counseling and therapy, you can do yoga, mindfulness training and art therapy. These types of activities are great for lowering your stress levels and calming noisy minds so you can focus on getting healthy and addiction free.

I wish there was an option to give a negative amount of stars ... please BEWARE ~~~~ This place is beyond HORRIBLE!!! I had to do 30 days there and, to be honest, this place is just one step above prison ... they are under staffed and half of the staff that is there is extremely rude ... piss poor medical care (had to wait 4 days to get OTC Excedrin and a lidocaine patch and, if you're lucky enough to see a doctor, the providers spend less than two minutes with the clients) ... food is brought in and they loved serving RAW chicken (the staff never addressed this issue with the catering company) I didn't go there to get food poisoning ... the pictures & description of this place are FAR FAR FAR from being accurate and the people doing assessments via phone lie about it ... if I do need to detox/rehab again I will never return to this facility ... if you ever have to go to rehab I would NEVER recommend this place ... you deserve better care than this place provides.

Accepted Insurance

White Light Behavioral Health 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.

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.

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

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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 icon12-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.

aftercare iconAftercare 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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

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.

Programs

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 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.

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.

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.

With trauma therapy, you can reclaim your life after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Therapists help you process the memories, which promotes emotional healing and enables you to build resilience to navigate future challenges and triggers.

Some couples therapy in Ohio is designed as short term treatment to address a specific problem in the relationship, such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. Other couples therapy may focus on general strengthening of the relationship by improving interactions.

eye-movement iconEye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing

Family 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.

Nutrition therapy helps with detox and drug rehab treatment in Ohio. This treatment gives you the skills you need to develop healthy eating habits, which help you recover more quickly and maintain long term sobriety.

Recreational therapy supports recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by providing you with enjoyable activities that improve your physical and mental health. When you engage in sports, creative arts, and nature excursions, it helps reduce your cravings and stress levels while building a supportive community of peers who can help promote your long term sobriety.

When you quit smoking, your body experiences withdrawal because it's not used to the absence of nicotine. When you use nicotine replacement therapy in Ohio, you get controlled amounts of nicotine to ease these symptoms without the negative effects of the other chemicals found in cigarettes.

I was there a year ago. Honestly it’s not the best but you get out of it what you put into it. Year later and I’m making progress. White Light is a start it’s not the cure all. You have to consistently put the tools given in therapy to work. If you’re looking for club med, this is far from it. If you’re desperate and want your life back, take a chance on Whitelight that wants to help.

This place is tragic. The residential building is literally falling apart it's an old bank they did the bare minimum and opened it right up. The housing is even worse. The apartments are close to the medina and oakwood park bad trashy apartments the water barely turns off on the shower they put 3 people in 1 small ass room and worse of all there's a dope house literally right across the street from housing I do not recommend going here if. You're serious about your recovery

Detox is cool...But PHP.... please don't....When I got here I had to go straight to groups not know where I was going to be housed at. The groups are from 9am-4pm. I didn't get on a van to get back to housing until 6pm.... Even then they didn't know where I was to be housed.... Finally I get to my bed to find my blanket with the smell a dried up old urine...SMH....The excuse was they're understaffed...SMH. No One Who I came in contact with want to be here...This place is just the worst recovery center I have even experienced and I only been here 2 days.Im not sure about continuing my recovery here....

I was at the place for 27 in June of 2024. It’s pretty bad. I’ve been to 3 rehabs and this was by far the worst one. I’m actually sober now but got that way 3 months after leaving white light. I was there for alcohol and complained about hallucinations for 2 days only to be ignored and ended up seizing out and had to be taken to the hospital and almost died. They couldn’t get me to snap out of my delirium tremens. White light was then worried I would sue them and called the hospital offering to bring me McDonald’s. I went back to white light after leaving the hospital because they had all my money, phone and clothes. It’s disorganized, people bouncing back and forth between there half way houses and the rehab because they keep getting drunk and high but never actually get kicked out of the program. The only way someone gets kicked out is if there Insurance cuts them off and the patient is then immediately kicked out with no care or after thought. It took me days to get them to give me my stuff so I could leave. They will lie constantly about everything. There where patients having sex with each other and staff knew it. Food is horrible and there is not enough of it. The snacks consisted of breakfast bars and crackers. Constantly out of milk even tho we where forced to eat cereal 4 days a week with no hot option for breakfast. The place is dirty, there are only 3 places to shower despite the number of people they take on. The toilets are disgusting and often stopped up. Don’t believe a word they tell you on the phone. No real weight room, no trails, you don’t get your phone. The place is not nice, it’s a dump. The staff tries but the place is just a cash cow for investors and that’s all that truly matters . How does a person go to rehab and lose weight . If a person really wants or needs to leave the only way to get out with your belongings is to call the police. They will eventually give you your stuff without all that but it will take 4 or 5 days. I was there 27 days not counting 4 in a hospital and it was like pulling teeth getting out of there. It’s a racket. Please don’t go to this place. I know I’m rambling but thinking of this place makes me feel anxious and it’s truly a horrible experience. Unless maybe your homeless and don’t mind to be held against your will in exchange for a place to lay your head.

Wish 0 stars was an option. This place is terrible. Understaffed. The caseworker lied to my face about receiving a call, I didn’t have one until day 6 and then she’s manipulative, lying, whines to group about her daughter cutting her off and being “crazy”? Unprofessional but her license is a month old, so not shocking. Staff won’t get your belongings or let you leave until they’re “done” so good luck trying to leave- they will put you on the street as AMA even though a girl has gone missing from this and they agree its not safe. Change that maybe? You’ll have any staff drive 5 hours for pickup then good luck going home if you leave before they agree. They make so much money per day, why would they let you go? If you skip groups they’ll push you out faster though. You have to be demanding or staff will say “yeah let me talk to someone” then never do it. They care so much about keeping patients- they had a guy throwing chairs and harassing clients and staff, and put him in sober housing where he dragged a girl out with him. They don’t care. I was told “well..you’re a pretty girl” By men and women staffed there when I said I didn’t feel safe. They lie on the third party phone intake, shady company. There is no gym, it’s a laundry room with broken equipment. A stationary bike with *no seat? Two dirty mats? Nurses were good but overworked. Tubercolis worry on day 4 because they don’t blood test on entry. Wild since they know so many are homeless and high risk. so understaffed you see a therapist only if one is hired currently. Or not bc they don’t have any. Truly a horrible place with just a few good employees, filthy, gnats, not enough towels or utensils, runny soap, co ed showers, rules vary based on who is working, weren’t allowed outside to use the hoop unless monitored (low staff so if you’re lucky), signs that people are using on the patio, if you get a bad staff member like Gloria they’ll lie to you even though it’s illegal. Wouldn’t send an enemy here let alone anyone I care about.

This place gave me PTSD and there was black mold in the houses. They also don't give a shit about your well-being. They didn't feed us or let us have jobs so we can get food. It was a badly run shitshow. 0/10 AD and key were the only people who really cared. DO NOT GO HERE. THEY LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING.

The groups and professional staff were mostly good but the place is poorly run, disorganized, and inconsistent with their answers to any questions. More importantly, if a drug screen comes up positive they immediately make you leave or go back to residential before waiting for the lab results to return a couple days later which has been proven to reveal false positive on the initial urine screens. People are literally made to admit that they used, even if they didn't, in order to stay in the program and return to residential, otherwise they have to leave. I fought a false positive on a urine screen and won and I wouldn't and couldn't admit to using when I knew I didn't. Certain meds can cause false positives. Then later they kicked me out for benzos which were showing up since my very first week there, but they decided to use it against me when I was only a few days from graduating php. I went to a hospital on my way home and got another drug test which showed everything as negative. Again, certain meds, prescribed and even otc, can cause false positives. Their lab sucks and the way they handle it sucks, the management and administration are rude and don't really care to help and look into what can cause false positives. DON'T GO HERE AND IF YOU DO BEWARE THAT MANY FALSE POSITIVES APPEAR ON THEIR DRUG SCREENS AND I HAVE THE PROOF TO PROVE IT AND THEY WON'T WORK WITH YOU ON IT OR WAIT FOR LAB RESULTS OR LOOK INTO OTHER MEDS THAT CAN CAUSE FALSE POSITIVES
