Bebo the new doctor is wildly unprofessional. Instead of trying to help people he main focus seems to be keeping patients there and increasing the money coming. You try to leave and he jumps down your throat telling you that your not improving and maybe increase dosing which means more money for them via more time with the clinic. They try to discourage you from detoxing off of the meds. Nothing at this place make sense and should be shut down. No one is there to help 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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

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.

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

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

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.

Accreditations

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

I overdosed in Feb 2022 for the first time in my 10years of using fent. My kids had never seen anything like that, and I promised then and there that they wouldn t again.I left UC hospital after a 1 day stay in the ICU, a 3 day stay in the MICU, followed by some days on a regular floor. A total of 10 days hospitalized.The HOSP team 4 was VERY understanding and patient with me. They introduced me to subutex.I met a hospital social worker who handed me a list of options.Being that I have a son, and I have to take care of my parental/household, and financial responsibilities; I knew IP wasn t for me.She said that all I had to do was walk up, to enter the OP program.I was discharged. I went home and a day later I walked into this program.This is September and I am still a client.I chose the Buprenorphine route.I met with Mrs Sean (that s what I call her) the receptionist, and Dr Hillberg, among other people.They re all polite, respectful and haven t treated me in any unfair way.I know what is expected of me.I don t need handled with kid gloves and I accept my responsibilities.I ve attended this program since March, and I am now on level 2. I was on level 3, but I did miss an appt and I was phased down. Sure, that was discouraging, but I ONLY have myself to blame.I will be back to level/phase 3 in no time.I have moved along fine, I m still sober, and I m actually REALLY living again.I ve noticed the negative reviews.I don t understand them.I can t speak regarding the methadone program, as I ve never used that, but as for theBuprenorphine program, I can tell you exactly what I have experienced.They are treat you with positivity, compassion and I ve not been mistreated nor spoken down to.Yes, they have RULES and EXPECTATIONS. This is all in the code book upon entry to the program.Work it!You will if you want it.Carol Hilberg does not treat anyone as a probationee, I ve been on probation, and she doesn t push anyone to want to go use.That s silly to even say.She just expects you to work for YOU, for YOUR sobriety.No one gets special treatment.Why else would one be attending if their goal isn t to remain sober?!I haven t been in this program long, but I ve far surpassed clients whom have been attending for years.Why? Because I WANT my sobriety.If one wants their sobriety to work, they will work the program, and it will work for them.It s that simple.I can honestly state that I ve not seen ANY of the things mentioned in the negative reviews happen while I ve been in the program.Perhaps this isn t the program for everyone, and that s okay.Find what works for YOU, and make it work.No one, nor anything, should be blamed for one wanting to go use again. If something here makes you feel that way, I d say that you re just not there where you need to be yet.The best of luck to everyone in this program.

This place is ridiculously inappropriate and VERY unprofessional. They don t want to see you succeed or help you succeed. They are all about the money and keeping the Medicaid patients happy and addicted. They absolutely don t care about private pay patients who are trying their best to complete the program. They would rather you lose the job you have than to help you keep it. If you are looking for a program to actually help and motivate you to complete and move on with your life, this isn t the place.

If you need help this is a great place!!

At first they seem very caring. But now I feel like if someone has something against you they don't treat you as well. I am being singled out compared to other people.

Everyone there was friendly except Dr.Carol Hillberg she should not be in control of the out come of people's lives since she heads a rehabilitation program with Hamilton county's probation department. It seems it is solely up to her how people's lives will be treated and determined. As those who are appointed through the court system , try to work through there addiction treatment are treated like a lesser human being in the privacy of her office. She seems to bring a less than professional attitude behind this closed door; as she's bringing negativity such as: belittling and yelling at patients to her job. No one in treatment deserves to be treated in this manner. It seems she has the inability to set her personal feelings aside,instead acts like it's her job to punish people instead of helping them along in a positive manner. There is no excuse to treat anyone under going treatment less than a human being especially during treatment. Her answer seems to be just to throw you out of the program when you have a problem so she doesn't have to deal with it. Insuring that the person being appointed by the courts goes to jail instead. This is not helpful for anyone trying to better there life. It's a shame that she gets to pick & choose her patients instead of rising to challenge the status quo. Those less desired in her eyes felt given up on,have no choice except to feel helpless, hopeless,& broken.
