CHC Addiction Services

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Akron has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Akron offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Akron, because a wide age range often still means one room.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Akron offers both.

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Akron has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

The weeks right after a program are the highest risk stretch, so what is arranged for them matters. An alumni group, a weekly session and a prescriber are the three pieces most plans are built from. Ask what the discharge plan looks like before you choose the program.

The order decides what gets reported. The clinical plan is decided the way it is for anybody else. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Keep your own record of every session attended.

Dual diagnosis means both are present, and treating them together is the current standard of care. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. Ask what happens to your current psychiatric medication during the program.
