Child Guidance and Family Solutions

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Akron is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Clinton, 4.8 miles away.

The nearest other center is about a mile away, in Barberton, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

They work in 1 language beyond English: Sign language. Ask whether the group sessions in Barberton are in it too, or only the one to one ones.

Yes. They treat ages 12 to 17, which only a minority of centers do. Barberton has 8 other centers, and an age range is the first thing to confirm on the call.

Most residential programs are built around 30 days, which is a billing convention more than a clinical finding. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.

The levels run from a weekly appointment up to a residential bed, with two useful steps in between. People commonly start higher and step down, rather than choosing one level and staying there. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can walk through which level fits before you start ringing centers.

Most people who recover have more than one attempt behind them. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Tell the program what the last attempt included, so this one can be different.
