Williams County, Ohio Drug Rehab & Addiction Services

Williams County has some of the lowest rates of drug overdose and addiction in all of Ohio. 

Nevertheless, chronic alcohol abuse as well as both prescription and illicit drug abuse and dependence are widespread in the region, which hosts few options for addiction treatment services.

Any residents who are unable to access suitable local treatment services are invited to participate in the highly qualified, evidence-based inpatient recovery services offered by Ohio Recovery Center.

Williams County Substance Use & Overdose Data

Ohio continues to struggle with high rates of drug abuse and addiction. The deadliest of these substances by far are synthetic opioids, especially fentanyl and its analogues, which were responsible for 5 out of the 7 overdose deaths reported in Williams County in 2021.

Stimulant drugs, including methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription amphetamines, are the next deadliest drug class, accounting for 3 deaths in 2021 (two of which were polydrug overdoses alongside opioid drugs). 

These are then followed in overdose lethality by alcohol and other illicit or prescription drugs of various classifications.

From 2015-2020, Williams County had the 76th lowest rate of age-adjusted accidental drug overdoses of all 88 Ohio Counties at 18.7/100,000, around half of Ohio’s average of 37.4/100,000 during the same time period.

Alcohol & Drug Rehab Options In Williams County, Ohio

According to information provided by SAMHSA, there are as few as two outpatient drug rehab providers operating in Williams County, both located within the city of Bryan.

Popular recovery services that may be offered to those struggling with drug or alcohol addiction in the county include:

Inpatient & Outpatient Medical Detox

The withdrawal symptoms that follow drug or alcohol discontinuation can be challenging, and may cause those attempting detoxification to relapse, overdose, or plunge into life-threatening physical or mental health events.

Medical detox programs exist to help guide participants through this process safely and securely with the benefit of close physical, emotional, and mental support from trained health care providers.

Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient alcohol and drug treatment programs are designed for structure, focus, and close caregiver access as participants in these programs live in a controlled residential treatment facility and participate in intensive addiction recovery services.

These interventions may include individual or group counseling, behavioral therapy, peer support programs, and dual diagnosis care for secondary mental health issues. 

These may also be followed by aftercare services such as case management, job placement, or family services, to name a few.

Outpatient Treatment

Both regular and intensive outpatient programs are available in Williams County to provide professional treatment while participants continue living at home.

These programs vary from regular outpatient counseling programs to part-time intensive programs and full-time partial hospitalization programs, allowing providers to meet a wide range of needs.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

FDA-approved MAT medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone are available through certain Ohio recovery providers to support those recovering from alcohol or opioid use disorder.

These drugs (when taken as directed in combination with counseling) have been scientifically demonstrated to effectively blunt cravings or other withdrawal symptoms, or else discourage renewed substance abuse in other ways.

Payment Options Accepted In Williams County, Ohio

The medical care provided by the various recovery services of northwest Ohio can be life-changing. However, many put off getting an initial referral over concerns about the cost of treatment.

If this sounds like you, you should know that you have options. Many payment options and financial aid resources are available to Williams County residents, including:

• private health insurance benefits
• Medicare/Medicaid benefits
• military insurance benefits
• other federal, state, or local funding
• cash or self-payment
