About Volunteers of America
Volunteers of America Fresh Start Recovery Center is a residential facility located in Columbus, Ohio. They offer help for mothers battling opioid and other drug addictions. They also strive to help pregnant women who are struggling with addiction have healthy children. When mothers struggle with addiction, newborns can struggle with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), and Columbus has the highest rates of NAS in the state.
What I love about this treatment center is that they understand how important it is for babies to have a healthy mother. Mothers can stay with their children during this treatment program and get 24/7 support to fit each person’s needs. They also help mothers understand everything from crib safety to age-appropriate activities for children as they grow. Volunteers of America offers family and couples counseling, connections to community resources, and advocacy for women involved in the justice system. They also have parenting skill development, connections to housing, and aftercare planning.
Services include addiction and mental health treatment including medication assisted treatment (MAT). MAT allows women to use FDA approved medication to manage cravings and maintain stability so they can focus on recovery during treatment. It reduces the chance of relapse, which can easily result in overdose. Over time, as clients develop strategies to maintain sobriety, they can taper off the medication support.
This residential inpatient program meets the criteria for the American Society of Addiction Medicine Level 3.5, and it’s accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities. The goal is to break the cycle of family addiction and then provide women with recovery and peer support so they can maintain long term recovery.

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.

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.
