Drug Rehab Centers in Amelia, Ohio

Summary: The Ridge is an excellent comprehensive treatment program for alcohol use disorder (and others). I personally had an exceptional experience with the residential treatment program, intensive outpatient therapy, and aftercare. Nothing about this experience was easy but I am confident that due to my experience with The Ridge I have a solid recovery foundation (I am just over 4 months sober currently).This review focuses on residential careHighlights-well developed program that is evidence based-full days-attendance at local 12 step meetings-access to a wide variety of recreational activities and art and music therapy classes-I felt prepared when I left and have continued to feel that way (it has been difficult but I have the tools)-staff are compassionate and helpful; many are in recovery themselves- peer support- comfortable accomodations and excellent foodMy advice if you are going to a program like The Ridge (these things helped me to have continued success today)-follow the rules, yes they may seem silly-do awkward things they ask like getting a temporary sponsor and numbers at meetings-listen to their advice, they may says things that sound stupid,my experience is that the things I think sound stupid end up being the pertinent ones-try to relax into the time; enjoy not having to do a ton of chores, cook for yourself etc-take the time to build a new hobbyI electected to go to The Ridge when I came to terms with the fact that I have an alcohol use disorder. I was receiving psychiatric care and my provider gently led me to acknowledge this. Two providers independently recommended The Ridge when I expressed interest in treatment.ResidentialI initially signed up for the 30 day program but decided to stay longer as I was getting a lot out of the program and am really happy that I did.Residential days are very full. The beginning of the day is filled with groups. The afternoon has time for recreational activities (no naps). A lot of people take up pickleball during this time but there is also the option to go to the pool (when open), do art, write, etc. Evenings there are 12 step meetings in the community.AccomodationsI stayed in a private room which I would say was Marrott quality. Cleaning services are provided. You are expected to make your bed (a pretty minor thing). The meals are excellent and snacks are freely available. The culinary staff are great- very personable and great educators. It was sufficiently comfortable and quiet enough to get quality sleep.NursingNursing staff were generally available and very helpful. Medication time windows could be a bit tight but were feasible.Recovery support specialist staffRecovery support specialists helped with sessions, daily questions, and herding everyone, They all have different personalities but in general were very easy to get along with. Supervisory staff were very helpful and responsive.CounselorsGenerally had very helpful sessions, individual counseling was very helpful.

Hotel California by the Sea was one of the best decisions I have ever made. With all the stress trying to seek help, they made it so comforting. From Detox to the classroom, all the staff knew your name and were always there to help. Everyone was incredibly friendly and insightful. They truly care for their clients, and make the necessary accommodations throughout your treatment plan. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for treatment.

Like every where else. You get what you put in. And they're willing to help in anyway possible. The groups are positive and uplifting. The staff are kind and helpful with scheduling, and rescheduling. The doctor's are kind and understandable.

Brightview Saved my life, and made me feel alive again. They definitely are part of my story. Thank you ALL for what u do. From the front desk to the clinicians to the Dr's.
