Alcohol & Drug Rehab Options In Wayne County, Ohio

There are 13 drug and alcohol rehab facilities within a 25-mile radius of Wayne County, and most are located in Wooster, Ashland, and Massillon. 

Most of these addiction treatment facilities offer multiple treatment programs such as detox, inpatient and outpatient care, and medication-assisted treatment.

Medical Detox

Medical detox is the first step of the addiction recovery process. During medical detox, healthcare professionals will monitor you as drugs and/or alcohol exit your system. 

While the drugs clear your body, withdrawal symptoms are likely to show up. The medical professionals will help you manage these symptoms with medication or other support. 

Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient treatment (also known as residential treatment) is recommended for people with severe addiction. This makes sense as inpatient treatment is the most intense form of treatment you can find.

You live at the treatment facility and receive care 24/7. You will also likely participate in support groups, behavioral therapy, and group therapy.

Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient treatment is recommended for those with mild addiction as you don’t live at the treatment center. You go to treatment sessions each day and then go home at night.

There are three types of outpatient rehab programs: partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), and standard outpatient programs. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment

With medication-assisted treatment (MAT), you’re prescribed medication specifically for opioid or alcohol addiction. The medication is used to ease cravings and lessen withdrawal symptoms.

On top of medication, MAT also includes therapy so the mind and body are treated together. 

Payment Options Accepted In Wayne County, Ohio

Paying for addiction treatment can seem daunting but it may not be as difficult as you might think. With private health insurance or Medicare/Medicaid, some of the cost of addiction treatment should be covered. 

To find out your copay, deductible, or premium, contact your specific insurance provider.

If you don’t have insurance, other payment options include:

• asking your drug rehab center about a sliding fee scale and payment plans
• applying for grants or loans
• paying for treatment out-of-pocket
• starting an online crowdfunding fundraiser using GoFundMe
