Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Program at Nationwide Children’s Hospital
Nationwide Children’s Hospital offers specialized care through its Substance Use Treatment and Recovery Program, designed to address the complex challenges of addiction in young people. This program recognizes that substance use disorder is a chronic condition requiring comprehensive, team-based treatment focused not only on sobriety but also on long-term recovery and overall well-being.
A Team-Centered Approach to Healing
The program utilizes a multidisciplinary team to provide holistic care for patients and their families. This collaborative approach ensures that every aspect of the patient’s health – physical, mental, and emotional – is addressed. Treatment plans are tailored to the unique needs of each adolescent.
Comprehensive Care Services
Key components of the treatment and recovery model include:
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provided by experienced physicians.
- Individual and group therapy sessions.
- Social work services to connect families with necessary community resources.
- Support from nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and peer navigators who understand the recovery journey.
This specialized care is accessible at the dedicated facility located at 380 Butterfly Gardens Drive, Suite 3A, in Columbus, OH 43215. The facility is equipped to handle the sensitive nature of substance use treatment, offering a supportive environment for recovery.
Focus on Long-Term Recovery
While acute treatment is essential, the program places a significant emphasis on equipping patients with the skills and support systems needed to sustain recovery long after they leave the facility. Peer navigators, in particular, play a crucial role by offering guidance and motivation based on their own lived experiences in recovery. The goal is to facilitate a successful transition back into family, school, and community life.
