About CDC Mental Health Services

Central Clinic - CDC Mental Health Services is a community behavioral health center with a location in Hamilton, Ohio that helps with drug and alcohol addiction as well as mental health needs. This makes them well prepared to help people with dual diagnosis, which means you have an addiction as well as a mental health condition.

Your care at this clinic will start with a behavioral health assessment to learn more about your addiction and how to best help you in your recovery. They have outpatient care and even an intensive outpatient program if you need a more rigorous treatment schedule. Your assessment will help you and your team determine what level of treatment is best for you.

Once you’ve had your assessment, there are several different treatment strategies they can offer. They primarily use individual counseling and group counseling for addiction. Depending on your case you might have the option of medication assisted treatment too. This means they use medications to reduce your cravings. Peer mentorship may be a part of your program too. Along the way, their case managers can work with you to help you with other needs for your sober life like housing and employment resources.

A particularly unique program they have at this treatment center is called SAMI. This program is for adults and adolescents who have addiction or mental health needs and are involved with Butler County Children’s Services. They work closely with children’s services to help families recover from addiction and bring families back together.

It’s worth noting, though, that clients do have a lot of complaints about the administration of this clinic. They report that there are often long waits for appointments and communication breakdowns.

It is an absolute nightmare trying to deal with this company. I scheduled a few months in advance to get autism testing done and then day of appointment they had to reschedule my appointment due to tester being sick another 2 weeks go by to my next appointment and they reschedule again. I finally get in and get my testing done, now 2 months have gone by and I've heard nothing from them so I reached out and turns out the person doing my testing is no longer there. I guess that renders my test invalid basically so they say I'll have to come in again to retest with someone else and someone will reach out to me. I've yet to hear from anyone and feels like it will be the same song and dance again. it's extremely frustrating and gives you no hope that they will do what they say. My advice is to STAY AWAY from this place.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
During initial recovery, withdrawal from alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines can involve high health risk. Attempting detox outside of 24-hour clinical care in Ohio is not recommended. This can be life-threatening because medical staff are not available to treat severe symptoms of withdrawal that often occur. Such symptoms can include seizures, delirium tremens, and extreme dehydration. In a clinical setting, staff are on-site to immediately care for your physical, emotional, and mental health needs.
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

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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.
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

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.

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.

It is an absolute nightmare trying to deal with this company. I scheduled a few months in advance to get autism testing done and then day of appointment they had to reschedule my appointment due to tester being sick another 2 weeks go by to my next appointment and they reschedule again. I finally get in and get my testing done, now 2 months have gone by and I've heard nothing from them so I reached out and turns out the person doing my testing is no longer there. I guess that renders my test invalid basically so they say I'll have to come in again to retest with someone else and someone will reach out to me. I've yet to hear from anyone and feels like it will be the same song and dance again. it's extremely frustrating and gives you no hope that they will do what they say. My advice is to STAY AWAY from this place.

I brought my daughter here to have her assessed for ADHD and possibly Autism. She and I spoke with a psychologist assistant for about an hour where my daughter was able to play with toys and fidgets. Then she was alone to be "assessed" with the psych assistant for no more than 30 minutes. All they had her do in those 30 minutes was answer some questionnaires. We waited 12 weeks from the date of our appointment to receive her report. My daughter was neither diagnosed with ADHD (which she clearly has) nor autism. During my follow up with the psych assistant I asked for a ton of clarification. My questions essentially were pertaining to how we gave my daughter a prime situation for someone with ADHD (requiring short tasks, changing tests frequently, giving her fidgets to help her concentrate during the conversation) and also not actually evaluating her. There was a part in the report that stated she uses her body appropriately but the psych assistant didn't have her DO anything that would assess body movement. She only sat in a chair during those 30 minutes. This report of my daughter had been approved by the supervising psychologost. I had her report viewed by another psychologist who was completely appalled. So much so they contacted their malpractice attorney to see if they were obligated to report this place for providing such awful "evaluations". It seems they are doing the bare minimum if that. I also had my daughter reevaluated at Nationwide Children's in Columbus after this all happened. Their psych assistant asked what the point of this so called evaluation at CDC even was.... Nationwide did diagnose her ADHD.This type of testing is so important. Please don't come here for yourself or your children. These people are not interested in gaining accurate results. I'm so disappointed that we waisted time here and then waited 3 months for what turned out to be nothing.

Each time I have been here the appointments start late with no apparent reason as to why, not 5 or 10 minutes late, but 35-40! It would be helpful if they had public wifi access as well for parents/guardians in the waiting room.

Several staff members were rude to my child and I during appointments. I had an evaluation done early June and still will not receive results until next week. So over 4 months wait. I called several times to check on the progress amd calls were only returned 3 of the 7 times I called in the 4 month span. I do not recommend this facility for your or your child's care.

Yes they accept my insurance, only to show up in person and be told no they don't. Called back a week later, yes, they accept my insurance. Called my insurance, yes, they accept my insurance. But they still refused to see me because, in person, they don't accept my insurance. What the actual F? Gaslight much? I didn't call or stop by to have my mind messed with worse!People who need a place like this, need straightforward, honest answers.Oh, and when the funding runs out, you can only get service if you attempt suicide or get arrested. THAT IS NOT HELPFUL!I don't recommend going to anyplace that outright lies and is absolutely, completely and totally crazier than I am.Oh, and be sure to wear sturdy shoes. Lots of used condoms and needles around the building. Also, bring change for the panhandlers or risk your life.
