Levels of Addiction Treatment

Here are the various levels of addiction treatment you’ll want to consider.

Professional Detox

Suddenly quitting drugs and alcohol often results in painful and even dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Professional detox can help manage these symptoms and keep you safe and comfortable while you go through withdrawal.

Residential Alcohol and Drug Rehab

The most structured and intensive setting, you live at the facility for a month to several months, depending on your needs. This option may be beneficial for those with a severe addiction or those who have previously dropped out of outpatient treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

A step down from residential, PHPs involve a high frequency of care that is similar to inpatient except you return home during non-treatment hours.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

A step down from a PHP, IOPs involve several hours of treatment per day, for three to five days per week.

Standard Outpatient

The least intensive option, standard outpatient, involves just a few hours of treatment per week. It may only be appropriate for someone with a mild addiction, strong support system, and strong motivation to quit.

Aftercare

When you near the end of your program, you’ll collaborate with your treatment team on creating an aftercare plan that will help you stay sober even when transitioning back into your everyday life.

Ohio Substance Misuse and Overdose Laws

Ohio Addiction Discrimination Laws: Employees are able to request time off work to attend addiction treatment and employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation to them, as long as the employee’s absence won’t cause hardship for the company.

Ohio Naloxone Access Law: Anyone can purchase naloxone at a pharmacy without a prescription.

Ohio Good Samaritan Overdose Law: Much like other states, this law provides protection from drug-related prosecution for those who call 911 when someone is overdosing.

They also won’t get immunity if they’ve already sought immunity twice under this law.
