Counselor nodded out on me 😆 I like to believe he was on methadone or Suboxone but he literally asked me how long he was out when he came to. All while talking about super personal information... I've been there three times... Not since the 90s old location .. thank you Lord above..
Another time the guy had the exact same line "don't you want to go to the ocean and throw your girlfriend in it type of shit 😂" same guy ten years apart it was beyond memorable. But this place plants seeds that lead to a life of substance free Bliss!! The acupuncture in the AM and evening AA/NA Meetings meant everything to me.

I've been going here for 6months and before that I was at the VA. There's a few differences between them both but most of all I can tell the Care. I have had 2 Counselors which is understandable considering the work load they have. Since the begining I have been happy and impressed how easy they made my transferring. I started just where I left off at the VA.The only thing I don't agree with or understand is when getting an increase u have to pick up for 3days before getting ur tak homes. I can understand this policy when u a starting out. But it doesn't make much sense after that. I can also say when there was a problem with my pick up (ther Mistake) my councler fixed and had all my bottles in 30mins. All I can say is If u work the program it works. Thank you

This is the only MAT program clinicnive ever been to but they have been amazing. If you are serious about your recovery they most definitely are going to help you. I've had a couple friends go to other clinics and from what was said FCCR is more strict and that's so important. Especially if you are serious about your recovery and do really want to better yourself and your life. The office staff is amazing there. The nurses are wonderful. I've had 3 different counselors due to 2 of them moving on to better their lives, but every counselor I have had has been wonderful. Very helpful. Easy to talk to. Thank you FCCR for being there and helping me better myself and my life. "It works if you work it"

My name is John Stone and if you want the real review of this place, I’m gonna be 100% honest with you. I spent 113 days there, was it worth it? Absolutely changed my life. I did not do no complaining about things That were meant to be grateful for Sam. My counselor was on point with not bullshitting me. Justin was a very good person as well. Ashley the nurse took the time to really help me on my medication‘s trying and doing the ones that were really worth for me and I’m so grateful today to be calm and not be so full of energy, but enough to just Focus. Rachel absolutely sweetheart, and she does all kinds of great things for the clients. Xavier was one of the best teachers that we had along with Nautica. She was a very straightforward, not letting us bullshit our way out of it, but focusing on the real problem me! This place has given me what I needed. I’ve been in addiction now for over 20 years in my life, but sometimes you just gotta quit complaining take a good hard look at yourself and start changing things and that’s what they help. All of these people help me. Do I give this five stars The rooms are magnificent TV in every room bathroom in every room only complaints I’ve seen came from people who absolutely did not want to change or hear any other person’s view. I Love, aero passages, they help me get rid of me the biggest problem there was thank you aero passages for saving my life taking the time to be straight with me. The people who didn’t make it were just not willing to take a suggestion if you really want to change your life this is the place to go 100% truthful from my heart

The place is very comfortable and everyone is very welcoming. The counselors are very professional and extremely nice. Most groups at Arrow are very informative, fun and enjoyable. They also provide food at both the house and office. And you can do Walmart orders or have family and friends bring other foods/snacks to the office to take back to the house while you stay.

Arrow Passage Recovery is a program that truly gives you what you need if you’re willing to show up and do the work. The help is absolutely there, but this is a place where you genuinely get out of it what you put into it. If you come in with a bad mindset or resistance, you’re probably going to have a rough time — but that’s true of recovery anywhere. Going in with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and a positive attitude makes a difference in every single aspect of the process here.
What stood out most to me was the expert level of care combined with real kindness and humanity. The staff doesn’t just tell you what to do — they guide you, support you, and give you the tools to take control of your own recovery journey. You’re not treated like a number. The employees truly care, from the techs to the clinical staff, and it shows every day.
The clinical team is exceptional, and my counselor Danielle quite literally was a lifesaver for me. Her support, honesty, and commitment to my growth helped me through moments when I didn’t think I could keep going. Having someone who genuinely listens and believes in you can change everything, and that’s what I experienced here.
The environment itself is structured, safe, and supportive — and honestly, it’s better than jail by a long shot. Meals are decent and consistent, which matters more than people realize when you’re trying to rebuild your life. And Ashley’s waffles deserve their own recognition — easily the best breakfast in town and something I still talk about.
This program gave me guidance, accountability, and hope, but it also taught me that recovery is self-driven. Arrow Passage provided the foundation, and I had to choose to build on it. Because of that combination — their guidance and my willingness — I can say that I owe my life to this program. As of today, I am 83 days clean, and I am living proof that this program works if you work it.
I’m incredibly grateful for Arrow Passage Recovery and the people who made a real difference in my life. I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about recovery and ready to give themselves a chance.

I highly recommend Lakeside Milam in Eastlake. Caring staff, strong program, accountability with love. If you are struggling with addiction there is help, your life can change for the better, take the first step and stop living in fear.

I had a really positive experience working with Kim Westom for my drug and alcohol evaluation. She was kind, professional, and genuinely took the time to listen and understand my situation instead of just checking boxes.
Kim made what could've been a stressful process feel respectful and fair.
I truly appreciate her balanced approach and the supportive recommendation she provided. You can tell she cares about people. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone needing an evaluation - she's compassionate, thorough, and treats you like a human being, not a case file.

Very positive experience. Great workshops. Comfortable living spaces. Wonderful outside activities. Food is mediocre but not bad. Overall, I hope I never come back again, and with the tools I gained here, hopefully I won’t.

This place saved my life. The staff here is amazing. These are some of the most understanding, helpful, caring and intelligent people I have ever encountered. They really can change your life. This place has taught me that I am worth it. If you are lost in addiction and your sick and tired of being sick and tired. Please give them a call. I am so incredibly grateful to have had Gatehouse treatment, and their guidance in my recovery thus far this place is one of a kind top notch care. Thank you to everyone here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Medical Mutual Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
The 2010 Affordable Care Act requires most health insurance plans to cover mental healthcare and addiction treatment. Therefore, most Medical Mutual plans should cover some forms of drug and alcohol treatment.
There are exceptions to the law, however, and services will vary according to the policy you have. Before starting rehab, it is important that you verify with your insurance company the details of your coverage and the treatment options available to you.
It’s important to note that insurance coverage is based on medically necessary care which usually means that a primary care physician has diagnosed you with an alcohol use disorder (AUD) or a substance use disorder (SUD) and has created a treatment plan for you to address it. You will want to work closely with your doctor to ensure the treatment plan meets your needs.
What Are Medical Mutual Plans?
Medical Mutual offers a variety of plans. They offer individual and family plans through the Ohio Insurance Marketplace. You might also have one of these plans through your employer. Medical Mutual plans are Health Maintance Organizations (HMOs), which means you’ll need to get care within the provider network. You’ll also need a primary care doctor that will give you referrals to specialists such as addiction counselors.
If you qualify for Medicare, you can also get Medicare plans through Medical Mutual. If you have Original Medicare, you can get a Part D prescription plan and/or a Medicare Supplement plan. Another option is to replace Original Medicare with a Medicare Advantage plan. Advantage plans offer the same coverage as Original Medicare but generally include additional benefits as well, such as vision, dental, and hearing coverage. However, you will likely need to use the plan’s network providers and you might need preauthorization as well.
Finally, Medical Mutual offers add on plans such as separate dental, vision, accident, and life insurance.
What Inpatient Addiction Treatment Does Medical Mutual Cover?
Medical Mutual will usually cover inpatient addiction treatment if it is a medically necessary part of your treatment plan. You may need preauthorization and/or a referral from your primary care physician, depending on your insurance plan.
Inpatient treatment often takes place in a hospital or clinic. But sometimes it is provided in a residential facility that offers a more home like setting. Inpatient care provides around the clock monitoring in a structured environment. Treatment is provided by credentialed staff and living accommodations and food are included. Inpatient or residential care removes you from the temptations faced in everyday life and allows you to fully focus on your treatment. In cases of a severe addiction or a dual diagnosis or another health issue requiring close monitoring inpatient or residential rehab provides a good option.
During inpatient treatment medical detox is often available. This process gives you medical care to manage withdrawal, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT). During MAT FDA approved medications aid withdrawal and reduce physical symptoms that are associated with it helping you be safer and more comfortable while going through detox treatment.
What Outpatient Rehab Does Medical Mutual Cover?
Addiction treatment delivered in an outpatient setting is covered by most Medical Mutual plans in line with ACA requirements. Your insurance company can verify details about your plan’s specific outpatient addiction treatment coverage.
Outpatient treatment does not provide overnight care. You return home following your treatment sessions. This allows for more flexible scheduling so that you can accommodate work or family obligations. But since you will still be in an outside environment you’ll still face the stressors and temptations that are present there. An outpatient treatment program works best for people with mild to moderate addiction or those who have recently completed an inpatient or residential program. Outpatient detox can also be helpful for those who have a low risk of experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms.
Outpatient treatment can include a partial hospitalization program (PHP) with at least 20 hours of treatment per week that is scheduled over 4 to 7 days and lasts 3 to 4 weeks. Or it can involve an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that provides between 9 and 20 hours of programming a week and lasts 4 to 8 weeks.
The least intensive option is a regular outpatient program (OP) that meets once or twice a week for one to 1.5 hours, or up to 3 to 4 hours, each day. The length of outpatient programs differs by facility but 30 days is a typical program length.
Does Medical Mutual Cover Suboxone & Methadone (MAT)?
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) involves prescribing medications such as Suboxone and methadone to treat withdrawal symptoms during detox and to manage cravings during rehab.
Longer term MAT is for those who struggle with opioid or alcohol misuse. It’s generally paired with evidence based treatment so you can build a strong foundation for ongoing recovery. Managing cravings helps lower the risk or relapse and overdose. Over time you’ll taper off the medication support so you can live truly substance free.
MAT may be covered by your Medical Mutual plan. However, it’s important to verify your coverage before you get your medication. You may need a referral or preauthorization to ensure you get the coverage you need.
Done Medical Mutual Cover Other Mental Health?
Mental health treatment is covered by Medical Mutual health plans. It’s important to find an in network provider to take advantage of this coverage. Medical Mutual members can visit the company’s website to find appropriate mental health care professionals who are covered by their plan.
Mental and behavioral health services are covered by Medical Mutual plans. These services include treatment for substance use disorders as well as anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. Both inpatient and outpatient treatment are covered by Medical Mutual plans, as well as telehealth options. Copays may be required. Members should refer to their Summary of Benefits and Coverage to learn more.
Does Addiction Treatment Need to Be In Network?
Most Medical Mutual plans are HMO plans that do not offer out of network coverage. A few Medical Mutual plans may offer an out of network option. But these plans would usually involve greater out of pocket expenses such as higher costs for deductibles and copayments.
Using an in network provider will likely be your most cost effective option. But if you choose to go outside of your network carefully review the details of your insurance policy to compare the service options and expenses involved.
How to Verify Coverage With Medical Mutual
You can verify your healthcare coverage by calling the customer service line at Medical Mutual or by logging onto your online Medical Mutual account. This will give you details about your coverage and help you find in network providers.
You could also call the addiction treatment center that you’re thinking about attending and ask if they accept your specific insurance plan. In that case you’d need to make sure that you correctly state the exact name of your plan. There are many different plans and some may have similar names.
What to Do if Medical Mutual Won’t Cover the Cost of Rehab
If your insurance plan doesn’t cover the cost of your rehab, you still have options. There are ways to pay for treatment without using insurance.
Many treatment centers have reduced fee payments based on a sliding scale. This allows you to pay less depending on your income and household size. Using this sort of treatment center can make rehab much more affordable. However you will want to make sure they are properly accredited and have licensed clinical staff.
Affordable government funded substance abuse treatment programs are available in almost every state. Some addiction treatment programs are run by county governments as well. You can find information about these programs by visiting the official government web pages for your state or county. You can also visit your state or county’s Mental Health Department’s website. Addiction treatment offered by government subsidized rehab facilities may be free or at least available at a very low cost.
Another free option is the Salvation Army Rehabilitation program which allows you to exchange work in one of their facilities for the cost of treatment in their addiction program. Visit the Salvation Army website to find links to their rehabilitation centers which are located in many states.
Other options include applying for a grant from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). SAMHSA addiction treatment grants are available in all states. Financial assistance may also be available through scholarships or grants offered by some advocacy groups or churches.
Finally, you might consider using a credit card to pay for your rehab treatment. CareCredit is a company that markets credit cards for specific use for healthcare needs. Or you might borrow money from your family or friends. What’s most important is to get the rehab you need so be diligent when searching for funding options.
By calling the helpline you agree to the terms of use. We do not receive any commission or fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a caller chooses. There is no obligation to enter treatment.
Calls to numbers on a specific treatment center listing will be routed to that treatment center. Calls to any general helpline could be forwarded to SAMHSA or a verified treatment provider.
