Ohio Treatment Centers

The primary drug threats faced in Ohio are cocaine and crack, as the most violent crimes in the state have been attributed to the distribution and abuse of cocaine in its various forms. Very pure and low-cost heroin has created a large client base with incident rates skyrocketing throughout the state. Marijuana remains the most popular drug of choice. Incident rates involving children under the age of 18 are on the rise for all drugs in Ohio. Ohio may not seem like a hub for drug use or trafficking, but substance abusers of many kinds do exist sate-wide, and there are many alcohol and drug treatment centers attempting to help addicted persons turn their lives around. Addicts and their families can access substance abuse treatment, mental health services, and mixed programs, which combine both mental health and addiction counseling services. There are an encouragingly high number of outpatient programs in existence in Ohio, as well as a number of inpatient, day-treatment, and short and long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment options. Persons living in Ohio will find a number of state-financed services, as well as drug and alcohol treatment centers offering sliding fee scales and payment assistance programs; there are also a large number of treatment options available for those with private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and Military insurance. For those who can afford to privately fund their recovery there are many rehabilitation services abound. Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland have the highest proportion of substance abuse treatment options but rehabilitative services are readily available statewide.
