Got to the E. D. around 6:45. We were promptly checked in and only waited 15 min before being sent to triage. Immediately put into a bed and the nurse came in less than 5 min later to start an IV and draw blood. Dr. Nicholson was very prompt to examine my husband. Immediately after that chest X-ray, ECG were performed. Meds loaded and breathing treatment given all before 8:20. The E. D. was very busy and they were short staffed with nurses but you would never know by how smoothly everything went. We couldn't be more pleased with the efficiency and thoroughness of our visit!

Thank you for your kind words! The extreme winter weather made staffing a challenge as many caregivers were snowed in. We're glad you received excellent care and that you were able to be seen and treated so quickly. We know you have a choice in where you receive healthcare and we are honored you choose us.

Accepted Insurance

Ashtabula County Medical Center – 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

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.

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.

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.

Treatments

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.

Programs

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

The nurse we had today was great! They got me back fast! The dr was in and out really fast and I don t think she did a good enough job checking over my daughter not much was done but I m also not a dr.The security guard made a comment to me when we left asking my daughter if I had hurt her! I thought that was highly inappropriate!!

Millions of dollars to renigate and to build on only makes the service slower now I had a complete plugged Catheter for a full day, went in the ACMC ER for over 2 hours, after waiting with no service so we left for the Geneva ER which was able to replace it. If anyone knows that has one that has blocked witch my has been changed over 18 within 6 months knows exactly how I felt. They only have excuses, no quality service. They were taken in on the ACMC patients also. People need to be hired if they expect patients to keep coming. They (ACMC) was also sending patients to Geneva their over overload! Just my opinion.

Worst so called "hospital" that I have ever been to. If you ask for a supervisor, you will get a security guard pretending to be a cop called on you and kicked out!!! Leaving your loved one that you are the medical, financial POA....everything of, alone unattended, scared. UNACCEPTABLE!!!! We now know that from our home, fifteen minutes farther is a much better hospital, better reviews. Weigh your options but sadly an emergency sometimes is an emergency. Educate yourself on your options before an emergency should arise!! Blessings!Edit: I did speak with the person in this position. She was brought to the ED, we did not even have to reach out to her. I believe her hands are tied concerning the abuse and neglects of this facility. From things that were not even posted to the weaponization of security guards. THESE THINGS ARE UNACCEPTABLE!!!More than one of my family members have been victims of this ED and have left reviews. Nothing is different!!

My father has horrible cancer, and he has been in there 2 nights in a row due to pain. They did nothing, didn't even touch him they did nothing but send him home. This was late at night both times, they sent him home within hours and just discharged him. This is horrible, everyone in that hospital only works for paychecks and couldn't care for somebody that is dying in pain. The first time he had went there was only one doctor in the entire hospital and again, he got sent home and didn't even get checked. He hasn't even been able to sleep due to his pain, yet they don't care and send him home. Least they could do is keep him overnight and take care of him, but they rather him suffer at home with nothing.

Been here twice for severe upper chest and back pain.. pain has been unbearable and tends to intensify at times and it's been goin on for months now.. both times absolutely nothing was done... It's an emergency room with no sense of urgency.. These guys are more worried about gossiping and clocking out then doing any meaningful work...They've tried to make it seem like the pain was in my head rather then excruciating throughout my chest.. They've told me nothing was wrong with me when I know something is wrong.. had me sit and suffer in a room only to come with discharge papers and send me on my way while I'm struggling to breathe!! These people did nothing for me, Absolutely worst hospital I've ever been to!! If I could give no stars I would Every story ab them is true.. DO NOT GO HERE!
