Levels of Care

1
Outpatient Rehab
If you want to attend school or work during rehab, consider outpatient treatment in Ohio. You’ll live independently except when you’re attending rehab. Outpatient treatment is less intensive than inpatient care and may include both counseling and attendance at a 12-step or other recovery support group.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Ohio gives you tools to challenge your thinking patterns. Your underlying core beliefs can cause you to automatically react in certain ways. CBT helps you identify these immediate responses, challenge them, and choose a healthier response.
