About Ohio State Harding Hospital

OSU Harding Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, has several different options for clients, including teenagers and adults. These features include inpatient and outpatient programs, partial hospitalization treatment, and emergency services. Some specialities also include neurotherapy approaches, like transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroconvulsive therapy.

If you need residential care, you’ll be assigned to one of 84 beds. You’ll receive care for mental disorders, like depression and anxiety, in addition to psychiatric care. There’ll be traditional counseling programs for yourself and your family, a case management team, and medication management, if needed. However, some clients have cautioned that the nursing staff may rely too much on medication as a solution. If you prefer holistic care, please make sure that your case management team is aware.

In the outpatient program, transcranial magnetic stimulation is offered to help address depression and other mood disorders. You’ll be awake and alert during treatment and can resume normal activities upon leaving therapy.

The outpatient program also has a special Young Adult Intensive Outpatient for individuals aged 18-24 who are having difficulty with mood symptoms and substance use. This includes group therapy, group education, family education, and discharge planning.

For teens, OSU has an intensive outpatient program to help them develop a daily routine and attend school. Sessions are delivered both in the afternoon and evening. Transportation to and from the facility is available.

Not sure why so many bad reviews, I stayed for 5 days and all of the staff were great, front desk, nurses, therapists and doctors were all extremely accommodating and caring. They give you tablets every evening to order your own meals and can even stream hulu/netflix and play games as well as access mychart and educational videos. Group therapy was fun and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is struggling with mental health issues. They got me on the right medication and made sure I was set up for success with outpatient programs!

I had the unfortunate experience of receiving IOP here. The two people they have leading the IOP need to be changed immeadiately. The blonde lady Hillary I believe was extremely passive aggressive the whole entirety of the IOP group sessions. The environment was extremely toxic, I experienced a lot of microagressions from some of the group members and group leaders did nothing about it when I let them know. And the things I told them privately about my family situation they had no problem sharing it publicly to the group. It s like going through three hours of public humiliation. Also beware a lot of cover narcs are attracted to groups like this I was surprised at the power plays ppl were trying to do, like speaking when you re speaking, interrupting your time to process, talking when you ask questions and whatnot. I was shocked at the power plays other members/group leaders engaged in. I also saw other people dealing with this, the blonde group leader would speak in tongues but make it obvious during psycho-ed that she was referring to a behavior or trauma she noticed in a group member and make very intense eye contact. It was saddening to see people put their heads down in shame. It s so upsetting that people can take advantage of people vulnerabilities. If you plan on coming here don t be like me and think this is a place where you can just let loose, be vulnerable, and safe. I honestly dreaded going in, I only stayed because psych-ed was somewhat helpful and I appreciated the packets they gave near the end. Only helpful thing there.

With all of the bad reviews I saw listed here, I had to take the time to write a good one and show my appreciation for how much they helped my son on the 4th floor (young adult floor). Everyone was so kind and caring. It was so good for him and helped him so much, he was actually nervous to come home. I can't thank everyone on the 4th floor enough for taking such good care of him and for the support and kindness shown to my son. You all are awesome and we thank you so much! From a mother that was terrified for my son to be admitted here - this was such a blessing to help him. He is now doing the outpatient for awhile for continuing care. Keep up the good work and may God bless you.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
OSU Harding Hospital offers a Crisis Management and Acute Inpatient Care where adults can stabilize and get initial treatment. Stabilization is particularly important if there is a risk for personal harm (including suicide risk) or injury to others. Stabilization is delivered in a supportive environment and include individual or group therapy, medications and neurotherapy approaches such as, TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) or ECT (electroconvulsive therapy).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
Designed for individuals with moderate to severe addictions, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides a more intensive form of outpatient therapy. PHP treatment can serve as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option after being discharged from a hospital or residential program. A partial hospitalization program typically requires a minimum of 20 hours weekly for an average of 90 days. Depending on your care plan, PHPs can include relapse prevention, medication management, and behavioral therapy services.
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.

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.

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.
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.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
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.

The two people that lead my IOP program in late spring of 2020 were not the two that should have been leading the group.One plays good cop and the other plays the bad cop. One will validate your emotions and the other will tell you why it's you and not the people you have issues with in your life. There are usually people there who have been there before who seem to get more attention than the new members of the group due to familiarity with the facilitators.I couldn't even get to the important aspects of some of the abuse from my family members I've endured because I tried to "start soft" with some interpersonal issues with friends and was immediately told not to "write off your friends entirely" without more than 3 minutes of context that I provided. I don't even know how that remark was made with the base level of detail I provided when I hadn't even started talking about my emotions or thoughts about the issues I was having with friends.I felt worse and worse as the IOP progressed and formed active suicidal thoughts by the end of the program. The facilitators took notice of this and let me leave regardless.I self-harmed less than a month later that lead to stitches in my arm and a trip to the psychiatric ward.I now have new trauma issues that I didn't before and the only suggestion they give in IOP for this type of regression is that you simply need to come back for a remedial session or again for the full program.Fast forward a few years to me starting to get things together to begin treatment again after financially being unable to do so, and they don't even have a record of me in the program when I asked for a referral to a clinic. The person who answered the phone stated that they didn't even do referrals, which is untrue since the long-term medication management provider I chose from their recommended list after IOP required referrals.Let's also consider that the program for a number of people with insurance backing them is going to be close to $1500-$2000.I at least know that I will never engage in this type of therapy again and if anyone reading this is looking for an IOP program I advise to at least stay away from Harding Hospital IOP program.

I hate leaving negative reviews.You have a right to consensual, respectful intake that considers your emotional boundaries as real and inviolable.You have a right to be treated with respect, gentleness, and warmth by a mental health practitioner.You have a right to refuse care.You have a right to say no to a follow up and to have that no unequivocally respected.You have a right to be treated as trustworthy in regards to your own experience and the care that is right for you.My right in all of this has been violated by this place in less than 24 hrs after making the mistake of trying out their walk in clinic.In the words of Romney when asked if he would vote for donald trump (name intentionally in lower case) "No, no, absolutely not" do not come here.Updating this about 4 months later:Please, please ask them exactly how much service will cost anywhere you go. If you come here, ask them exactly how much it will cost with and without insurance. Get it in writing. Do not sign anything that does not make it explicitly clear what the cost will be before and after insurance. They will claim you consented despite a lack of clear disclosure.It is against the law to surprise bill people in Ohio. A client cannot legally consent to a cost of care that they do not know exists. Even if it were not law, it remains an extremely unethical, financially incentivised violation of a more basic law, that being a consideration for another person as an actual human being.Out of pocket costs need to be disclosed before someone receives care, not after. Had I known what I would be charged, I would have left and spared myself the whole experience. Further, when a professional space does not provide adequate care, they usually offer prorated if not free care. This is finally becoming the norm these days.- - -I thought about deleting this review because I'm not sure about the efficacy of negative reviews. In fact, I'm sure they cause more harm than good and make genuine response to genuine complaints less likely. I'm leaving it up because I do think people coming here need to know how things seem to be running right now.A message to the team: This all may be signs of burn out, poor internal communication, and lack of support and care for the people who work in this department, if not systemic pressure to run things in a way that is not ethically aligned. Whatever you can do to empower yourselves, get up to date on mental health response and ethical billing, as well as to take better care of yourselves and each other, please do it.

Absolutely disgusting not just the environment the BEHAVIOR. Had a nurse refuse to bring me to the gym continuously after one minor disagreement. Other than that the conditions were horrible. Believe it or not there was, yes an actual booger on the wall. Was it removed? No it was left there along with the dirty bedding and the rude attitudes of the doctors there.

After witnessing something like four or five, (possibly more admissions) of a family member in this place, I feel confident that my opinion accurately reflects the typical experience of patients at Harding.This hospital is no better than the old mental asylums of recent history.You will be disregarded, you will be ignored, you might be there for WEEKS and see a doctor ONE or TWO TIMES. You will be discharged whenever they feel like it, not when you re truly feeling better.After that, you WILL receive an unfathomably large bill that is downright impossible to pay. They will not work with you on this (despite saying they will).After all that is said and done, they might just leave you with no medication upon discharge, landing you right back in Harding when you inevitably spiral from abruptly losing access to medication that you CAN T SAFELY STOP TAKING without the supervision of a medical professional!They will lie to your face. They will neglect to tell you important things you should know. They will ignore your legitimate concerns. They will gaslight you. The staff will loudly shout all night long while construction workers run jackhammers next door at 3am, literally vibrating the entire building, and then the staff will act confused as to why you didn t get any sleep.You will inevitably leave this place feeling more hopeless, more broke, more sick, and needing more help.This hospital is the peak representation of every single systemic issue in the US and in my opinion, should probably be federally investigated or outright shut down.I can t express in words just how furious this institution has made me and my family.From here on out, I will happily share with everyone I speak to about just how trash, just how morally bankrupt, and just how EVIL OSU is. Shame on Ohio, shame on OSU, Shame on OSU Wexner Medical Center, shame on our local government, and shame on Ted Carter.

Some of the staff on the 4th floor really aren't trained to deal with personality disorders or dissociative disorders. Beth in particular treated my alters particularly horrible when we were forcibly outed to her by our occupational therapist. The social worker, Jimmy, however, treated us really well in regards to this, possibly because he's actually seen other cases. Jimmy stopped by the 4th floor every day at 8:30 am, 2:00 pm, and then at around 3:00 to bring us rewards for completing the day's activities. The main reason I'm giving Harding 4 stars though is that they connected me with Charlie Health, which honestly saved my life and my family relationships. Definitely recommend, if only for the aftercare services.EDIT: I had another crisis in April, went here again. Got put on the 2nd floor, which is evidently the geriatric floor as there were only a couple of other people under the age of 30 there with me. Jimmy was not here the second day I was there, but in all honesty I was mostly just there to get my meds regulated as Harding messed mine up last time. It worked like a charm, so I got out in 60 hours. I'm bumping this place down to 3 stars though. Not because Jimmy wasn't there, but because they keep charging my parents a ridiculous amount of money (500 dollars last month - 400 this time). Gee, way to make me not want to kill myself. If you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm. They also tried to connect me to Charlie Health but I switched insurance last year and I don't think Charlie Health takes Anthem. That's not the fault of the hospital, though, so I'm not taking off points for that. I would still choose Harding over the other mental hospitals in the area, though.

I have had a hairy history with OSU Harding Hospital. Years ago, I was seeing a psychiatrist (Divya Khosla) at Harding for addressing my depression. One week, I ran out of antidepressants and began to have a manic episode where I was high energy, super confident, and happy. How terrible, right? Divya was concerned by this and asked if I had taken anything new to which I replied "nootropics". She had never heard of nootropics before but, after a 2-minute Google search (I exaggerate not), she concluded it was the nootropics that was causing the episode. She then gave me an ultimatum: stop taking nootropics or she would discontinue my antidepressants. I refused, of course, and decided I no longer wished to see her due to her rash decision making. She then proceeded to get me banned from OSU Harding Hospital ad infinitum. For over three years I could not get help for my depression because I had literally been blacklisted by merely not responding to Divya. After consulting with a patient advocate (Jason Coale), I was finally removed from the blacklist, which, he admitted, should have never happened. Upon being readmitted, I got on new antidepressants which, like all others, did not help.Then I sought out ketamine treatment and got admitted to the clinic at Harding. Unfortunately, it did not help either. During treatment, I did not receive any bills, but about a month after treatment concluded I was hit with a near $4000 bill. NOT ONCE was I informed of the cost incurred by the treatment. Staff consistently told me the medication (Spravato) was "covered by insurance". What is worse, the company that sells Spravato has a savings program for patients where one could pay as little as $10 per nasal spray, which costs $4774.70 before insurance. Nobody informed me of the savings program and I only learned about it after this mess. Dr. Subhdeep Virk manages the ketamine clinic at OSU Harding Hospital and should feel utterly ashamed for this negligence. I am a graduate student who, like all graduate students, does not make much money. Had I known the cost of the ketamine treatments, I would have NEVER done them. Always always alway ask about the cost of treatment, request estimates, and check with your insurance prior to starting treatment. If you think staff at Harding feels some moral imperative to be transparent about costs or savings programs, think again. By being opaque about these things, OSU Harding Hospital has placed a financial burden on me and, ironically, worsened my depression.
