Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Columbus

With nearly six decades of community service, Columbus Area has developed a specialized dual diagnosis program that simultaneously addresses substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Their multidisciplinary team of addiction medicine physicians, chemical dependency therapists and specially trained nurses collaborates to create personalized treatment plans. This integrated model ensures clients receive comprehensive care for both psychiatric conditions and addiction in one location.

Medicare
If you have Medicare in Ohio, you can use your coverage to help pay for rehab treatment. Keep in mind that you’ll need to choose a center that accepts your plan, and you might have out-of-pocket costs such as a deductible or copayment. Look into your plan documents for full details.
Private insurance
In Ohio, private insurance is one of your options when it comes to paying for rehab. Insurance plans vary, so it’s important to contact the insurer for details. The best way to keep costs down is to choose a treatment center in your plan’s network.
Military insurance

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.
Trauma Therapy
Many people with addiction issues in Ohio use substances to decrease difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, fear, and more. Trauma-informed therapy can help you understand where these feelings come from and how to deal with them in a better way. Trauma-informed therapy is one element of rehab treatment, which also includes activities, peer support, individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
