OhioGuidestone: Comprehensive Substance Abuse Services
OhioGuidestone offers comprehensive and individualized substance abuse services designed to treat the whole person, not just the addiction. Recognizing that every individual’s journey is unique, the organization commits to creating customized treatment plans that address both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health issues, which are often interconnected and crucial for long-term recovery.
Customized Approach to Recovery
The foundation of OhioGuidestone’s treatment philosophy is a tailored approach beginning with thorough assessments and counseling. These initial steps ensure that the specific needs and circumstances of each person are understood, leading to a program that works at the individual’s own pace. This commitment often extends beyond clinical services to include essential support like transportation options, helping clients maintain their recovery commitments.
Continuum of Care Options
OhioGuidestone provides a variety of evidence-based services that form a complete continuum of care, ensuring support is available regardless of the severity of the substance use disorder. These services are proven successful in helping individuals achieve and maintain sobriety.
- Assessments and Counseling: Individualized evaluation and therapeutic sessions to address the roots of addiction and mental health concerns.
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT): Using FDA-approved medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
- Residential Treatment: Structured living environments providing 24/7 support and intensive therapy for those requiring a higher level of care.
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP): Offers a safe, protective, and supportive environment for recovery through a combination of one-on-one counseling, group counseling, peer recovery support, and general support groups. Patients must typically complete detox prior to entering IOP.
Beyond Clinical Treatment
Recovery involves more than just abstinence; it requires rebuilding a healthy life. OhioGuidestone focuses on empowering clients for a healthier future by providing holistic supports that address life skills and social determinants of health. These wrap-around services include job training, social skills development, parent coaching, family support, and prevention programs. Crucially, the Peer Recovery Specialist program offers one-on-one support from someone who shares a lived experience, providing impactful guidance for navigating recovery and moving toward a bright future.
