About Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services
Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services is a governmental county initiative that is aimed at helping those battling addiction and co-occurring conditions in Dayton, Ohio. Although the initiative specializes in substance abuse addiction, it does offer support for those with a gambling addiction, too.
This program offers a specialized recovery team with real-world experience in treating addiction. The center treats everyone from youth to senior citizens. With the help of the program, you will have a better chance of understanding your problems, breaking the cycle of addiction, and taking control of your life.
You will work with a case manager who will guide you toward identifying your strengths and problem areas. Once you’ve done this, you will work together to develop goals that will further your commitment to recovery.
The program also works closely with area hospitals and courts to offer support and linkage to substance abuse resources for those battling addiction. The outreach team, a part of this program, also works with local law enforcement. They try to help with pre-arrest deflections to try and limit engagement with the criminal justice system. So, if you have found yourself in trouble with the law because of your drug or alcohol addiction, they might be able to assist you.
Other treatment programs offered as part of this initiative on behalf of the Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services department include screening and assessment to determine what level of care you need and non-intensive outpatient counseling. This counseling is perfect for those who have already mostly come to terms with their addiction and are well on their way to maintaining their sobriety.
They also offer family counseling and medication assisted recovery resources. You can also access intensive outpatient counseling if you need a little more help with your sobriety journey.

I tried to get help from the ADAMHS board for several months when a local mental health agency violated my client rights. I was not given help to file my complaint and ended up telling what happened countless times- which is known to cause significant distress to survivors. I kept asking for help and the board would not take the time to help me write out my complaint- which is something they are supposed to do. Kaylyn Drodge provided minimal support and could not clarify for me why she would not help, or help me understand the process. I repeatedly felt dismissed by her and her supervisor. When I did eventually have a meeting with the agency that violated my rights (which they admitted to in writing) and with the adamhs board, nothing was resolved. I was later told that the adamhs board just had to meet in order to say they addressed the issue. On top of that, after advocating for myself for months and feeling alone and outnumbered in that meeting with the agency representatives- i was told by the supervisor at the board, Kimberly Priester, that I seemed angry. Which I responded of course- my rights have been violated for years and I have tried to file this for months and I wasn t supported or helped- despite everyone admitting what happened was wrong and a violation. After the meeting, the agency continued to violate my rights and I knew contacting the adamhs board would not help. This entire experience ended up going on for years from the first time I contacted them to when I finally met. Quite honestly, this has led to challenges with me feeling empowered to advocate for myself, and has made it hard to access help in the mental health system because I saw that my client rights were not respected.
This agency has an employee who is amazing and I feel like I owe her EVERYTHING she has showed nothing but patience, understanding, consideration, compassion and knowledge about mental health. Mrs B Stewart!! thank you for always answering the phone listening to me cry and fighting for my family. You are AMAZING!! I appreciate you and everything you have done and continue to do for us.

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.
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.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Levels of Care
Outpatient In Outpatient, individuals attend education groups to learn about addiction. Group therapy sessions promote learning and build coping skills to prevent gambling or using alcohol and drugs. They attend individual counseling sessions where goals are set and progress is evaluated. Individual sessions can be used to discuss private information they may not feel comfortable discussing in groups. Sometimes homework is assigned to help learn new coping skills needed for recovery. Participants are encouraged to attend and learn about community supports for recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Intervention Services Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
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
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
Family members 13 years and older can attend education groups. Family counseling services are available if desired. Family members are encouraged to attend and learn about community supports available to help them cope with the challenges they may encounter.
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.
