Available Alcohol & Drug Rehab Services In Worthington, Ohio

Most of the alcohol and drug rehab centers in Worthington offer a variety of treatment services. The more programs that are available in your area, the likelier you are to find the right combination of treatment you need. 

Some of the most common drug treatment programs include:

• detoxification/detox
• inpatient treatment
• outpatient treatment
• medication-assisted treatment
• aftercare support

Detox

Detox is the process of completely cleaning the body of drugs and alcohol and should be done under medical supervision at a rehab facility or detox center due to the serious withdrawal symptoms that can occur when coming off drugs you’ve used for a while.

While the drugs leave your system, healthcare professionals and treatment providers will ensure you’re as comfortable as possible with the use of medications to ease your symptoms and IV fluids to ensure you stay hydrated.

Inpatient Treatment

Inpatient treatment is another level of care in addiction treatment. During inpatient care, you stay at a residential treatment facility. This means you sleep and eat there along with receiving treatment. 

During your stay, you participate in individual and group therapy, recreational activities, and addiction education. You’ll also learn relapse prevention strategies to ensure you stay on your road to recovery as long as possible. 

Outpatient Treatment

Another option for treatment is outpatient rehab where you go to treatment sessions each day but then go home after. There are two kinds of outpatient treatment: partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs).

Both outpatient treatment options can be a good fit from those living with mild to moderate substance use disorders.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

If you live with opioid use disorder (OUD) or alcohol use disorder (AUD), medication-assisted treatment (MAT) will likely be recommended to you. 

MAT involves taking specific medications that are approved to treat OUD and AUD while going to therapy. Both types of treatment ensure the body and mind are treated simultaneously. Some of the medications prescribed during MAT include buprenorphine, disulfiram, methadone, and naltrexone.

Aftercare Support

Once you leave formal treatment, most treatment centers offer some form of aftercare so you aren’t completely on your own. Aftercare support can include support groups, sober-living housing, halfway homes, overdose education, and employment or vocational assistance.

Paying For Addiction Treatment In Worthington, Ohio

When it comes to paying for treatment, if you have private health insurance or Medicaid/Medicaid, you won’t have to pay much. Your insurance coverage will take care of most, if not all, of the cost.
