Alcohol & Drug Rehab Options In Columbiana County, Ohio

According to SAMHSA, there are at least seven outpatient addiction treatment centers serving Columbiana County. These facilities are located in Lisbon, Salem, and East Liverpool. For suitable inpatient/residential care, residents will need to travel elsewhere.

Drug and alcohol treatment services that may be recommended to you as part of your personalized treatment plan include:

Medical Detox

Chemical dependency is a condition treated through medically assisted detoxification, in which medical professionals guide participants through the drug/alcohol withdrawal process. 

This can be an uncomfortable experience, but it is a critical stage of substance abuse treatment and one best not attempted alone due to a high risk of relapse and overdose.

Inpatient Treatment Programs

Inpatient addiction treatment programs equip participants with the support, resources, and tools to recover from severe forms of substance use disorder, which may include co-occurring mental health disorders like PTSD, anxiety disorders, major depression, ADHD, and others.

Patients live full-time in a comfortable residential treatment facility and may participate in dual diagnosis care, individual and group counseling services, behavioral therapy, and alternative treatment interventions followed by aftercare and case management.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient programs allow participants to keep living at home while receiving professional behavioral and mental health treatment.

Outpatient treatment programs are more affordable and locally accessible than inpatient treatment (which is not currently available in Columbiana County).

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a type of addiction recovery healthcare that combines FDA-approved medications (dispensed by approved treatment centers) with counseling,  behavioral therapies, and other treatment services.

MAT programs are highly effective in helping people with opiate/opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder recover from their addiction and live healthy, productive lives.

Payment Options Accepted In Columbiana County, Ohio

Drug and alcohol rehab can be life-changing and life-saving services, but the potential cost of treatment is often a concern for those considering enrollment.
