Recovery Begins Here

Dublin, OH Residential Treatment Programs

While everyone’s treatment needs are unique, many people begin substance abuse treatment in a residential program. A residential program may also include medical, supervised detox. During supervised detox, a team of medical professionals and support staff can provide care and treatments to help patients cope with withdrawal symptoms. When a residential treatment program includes on-site detox, the patient can then transition to the rehabilitation phase when they’re ready.

Residential rehab occurs at what’s known as an inpatient rehab facility. Inpatient alcohol rehab or drug addiction treatment offers a stable, safe and supervised environment.

Within 15 miles of Dublin, there are currently eight residential treatment programs. These options include programs at The Recovery Village Columbus.

Dublin Partial Hospitalization Programs

partial hospitalization program is a type of addiction treatment that’s a lower level of care than inpatient rehab, but it’s more intensive than outpatient treatment. During partial hospitalization programs, patients participate in therapy throughout the day, and if necessary, the program can include medication management and psychiatric treatment. Then, depending on the situation, the person may return home or to a sober living facility.

Seven programs within 15 miles of Dublin offer day treatment and partial hospitalization programs, and The Recovery Village Columbus does as well.

Dublin Outpatient Treatment Programs

Outpatient drug treatment or alcohol rehab is a less intensive form of rehab. Some people go to outpatient treatment exclusively, especially if they haven’t been struggling with addiction for a long time. Other people may step down into this phase of treatment following a higher care level.

Outpatient treatment requires commuting to the treatment facility, usually several times a week. Programming can include group or individual therapy or a combination.

Currently, 40 programs exist within 15 miles of Dublin and offer regular outpatient substance abuse treatment, and 28 offer intensive outpatient treatment. Individualized outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are also available at the Recovery Village Columbus.

Sober Living and Rehab Aftercare Programs in Dublin

Relapse can occur even after someone completes an addiction treatment program. When you struggle with addiction and receive treatment, one of the important parts of preventing relapse is having adequate aftercare support and continuing care.

Aftercare helps people transition back to their daily lives and their community, and it’s not an afterthought but rather should be one of the most important parts of an effective treatment program.

Continuing care plans can include therapy at drug rehab aftercare programs, sober living support, group meetings at aftercare facilities and rehab alumni programs.

Specialized Treatment Programs in Dublin

Sometimes people who seek addiction treatment have specialized needs, and they require a rehab program that can meet these needs.

What Is the Process Like in a Drug Detox and Rehab Facility?

When you choose a drug treatment facility, what is the drug treatment process like and what can you expect? While facility treatment processes differ, most follow similar outlines.

  • Intake assessment: At most treatment centers, as you check in, the staff will do a full assessment of your mental and physical health. They will ask you questions about your life and your history of substance abuse. Answering these questions honestly and completely is important because the answers will inform your treatment plan.
  • Medical Detox: For someone dependent on substances who hasn’t yet detoxed, that may be the next step in the treatment process. The time detox takes can depend on substances used, personal health and other factors. During medical detox, a team of medical professionals monitors patients, keeps their withdrawal symptoms under control and provides medical treatment if necessary.
  • Transitioning to further care: Following medical detox, patients can transition into the next phase of their treatment program, which is usually inpatient care, partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient programming. During this time, patients work on deeply rooted issues that led to and stem from their addiction. Group and individual therapy will likely take up most of the day in treatment programs, as well as recreational forms of therapy like yoga, mindfulness training and meditation.
  • Aftercare planning: Aftercare planning is the final stage of the drug treatment process. Along with seeking local support and engaging in recommended therapies, participants can start to transition into their daily lives and use the coping mechanisms they learned in treatment.

Finding the Best Rehab Program for You

Finding a program you are happy with and that meets your needs is one of the factors that can increase your chance of completing rehab, and also of seeing recovery progress after leaving treatment. When you’re comparing the best rehabs and looking for the best rehab program for your needs, balance personal requirements and preferences with the qualifications of the treatment program.

For example, how long have you been struggling with substance abuse? If you have been using substances for a long time or have tried other programs and relapsed, you may need a high level of care that’s not available at all centers.

You may also be comfortable with a certain type of setting, like a single-gender rehab. You can also think about whether or not you’re able to travel for treatment and if you’re comfortable doing so.

Many rehab plans accept private health insurance providers, so you can also see which programs meet your needs and are in-network providers with your insurance.

What Questions Should You Ask When Considering a Treatment Program?

As well as personal considerations, certain factors should be in place with a treatment program to ensure it’s providing a high quality of care. The following are questions you can ask admissions representatives to give you a better idea of what qualifications the program has.

What is your treatment philosophy?

While a good rehab program will likely individualize care, it will still have underlying philosophies that fuel treatment programs. Following the 12 steps (like in Alcoholics Anonymous) is one example. There are also holistic treatment centers that may focus on the mind and spiritual connection, and there are religious programs as well.

Do you offer dual diagnosis treatment?

Not every substance abuse treatment program offers dual-diagnosis care, but it’s important for a lot of people. What dual diagnosis means is that multidisciplinary treatment teams can provide not only treatment for addiction, but also for co-occurring mental health disorders, including eating disorders. If someone has untreated mental health disorders, it will be difficult for them to recover from addiction.

How long do programs last?

The length you might expect to stay in a treatment program depends on your personal needs, but when you speak with rehab centers and tell them more about your particular situation, they might be able to provide you with a better idea of the potential timeline.

Is your center accredited?

A rehab center should have state licensing where it’s located, and while rehab centers don’t have to have independent accreditations, it can be an important indicator of the quality of care available. For rehab centers, there are two primary bodies, which are the Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities (CARF) and the Joint Commission.

Exploring Treatment Options Near Dublin

There are so many considerations when it comes to choosing a rehab program, and one of them is the location. If you’re able to travel for rehab, some benefits can come with this option.

First, it expands the treatment options available to you. People often find benefits in being physically separated from their environment of addiction, also, at least during the earliest days of treatment. Being away from home for rehab lowers the risk of leaving early too.

In contrast, staying near Dublin for treatment has its own set of advantages. Your family will be close, and they may be able to participate in parts of your treatment. You don’t have to think about arranging travel, and insurance may only cover in-state treatment programs.
