Akron Addiction Treatment Services

Get better from addiction with a program that takes care of you, not just your substance use. At Eleanor Health, our treatment plan addresses your physical, mental and emotional health.

Medication-Assisted Treatment in Akron, Ohio
Prescription medications can help break the physical dependence on drugs or alcohol. They ease withdrawal, reduce cravings, and support long-term stability. Our clinical team may recommend FDA-approved medications like Buprenorphine,Suboxone, and Naltrexone (including Vivitrol) as MAT for OUD. In the case of MAT for AUD, we may prescribe medications like Naltrexone, Acamprosate, and Disulfiram.
Addiction Counseling in Akron, Ohio
Treating the mental and emotional aspects of addiction is just as important as addressing its physical effects. At Eleanor Health, you’ll work with a licensed counselor to explore the root causes of your SUD, identify personal triggers, and develop healthier coping strategies. You can connect with your counselor remotely from anywhere in Ohio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Akron faces significant substance use challenges that make accessible addiction treatment crucial for our community. As one of Ohio’s epicenters for drug-related overdoses, Summit County has seen concerning trends, with fentanyl involved in 78% of overdose deaths in 2023. The city of Akron alone accounts for one-third of the region’s emergency room visits for overdoses, primarily affecting adults aged 25-49.

Eleanor Health’s holistic therapy approach addresses these challenges through comprehensive care that builds lasting recovery skills. We understand that addiction affects not just individuals but entire communities. With nearly 6% of Ohioans experiencing substance use disorders, our evidence-based treatment programs provide crucial support for those struggling with alcohol, opioids, and other substances.

Mental health care plays a vital role in Akron’s overall community wellness. Nearly 25% of Ohioans experienced a mental health condition in 2023, with rates continuing to rise. In Akron, increasing reports of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation (particularly among youth) make accessible mental health treatment essential, especially when combined with substance use treatments. Despite the critical need, over half of Ohioans with mental illness do not receive care.

While our community faces challenges like provider shortages and treatment access, Eleanor Health works to break down these barriers through flexible care options, including virtual services and insurance-friendly programs. Our goal is to ensure that quality mental health care remains accessible to everyone who needs it.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of care. Addiction treatment facilities offer several options to match your specific needs and circumstances:

Inpatient treatment centers provide 24/7 medical care in a hospital setting, which is often necessary for drug and alcohol detox or when more intensive support is needed.

Residential treatment centers offer a structured living environment with full-time therapeutic programming for those who benefit from around-the-clock support.

As an outpatient treatment provider, Eleanor Health offers flexible care that works around your daily life, allowing you to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment.

While we specialize in outpatient services, we understand everyone’s journey is different. If you need a higher level of care first, we’ll help connect you with trusted providers who can support you through those early stages of recovery.

Outpatient programming offers several treatment levels within a comprehensive continuum of care. Each level provides a different intensity of treatment to match individual needs:

  • Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer the most structured environment, with treatment sessions running several hours per day, multiple days per week.
  • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide a balanced approach, typically meeting 2-3 times per week for several hours each session.
  • Standard Outpatient care involves regular appointments that work around daily commitments.

Your care team will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust the level of care accordingly. This flexible approach ensures appropriate support at every recovery stage while accommodating work, family, and personal responsibilities.

Your recovery journey deserves a treatment approach that’s as unique as you are. That’s why our interdisciplinary team combines evidence-based care with personalized support to help you heal and grow. We offer proven behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills, and family therapy to strengthen your support system. Combined with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), these therapeutic approaches help you develop practical life skills, manage stress, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Whether you choose virtual or in-person care at our Ohio locations, you’ll have access to both individual therapy sessions and group counseling sessions, creating an individualized care experience in a structured environment.

Co-occurring mental health disorders happen when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and mental health concerns at the same time. Research suggests that more than 40% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Common examples include:

  • Depression or anxiety alongside alcohol abuse
  • PTSD combined with substance abuse
  • Bipolar disorder with drug abuse
  • Attention deficit disorders with substance abuse

Co-occurring disorders often influence each other, which is why treating both simultaneously through our integrated approach leads to better outcomes. Many people find that addressing underlying mental health disorders is a crucial part of their recovery journey.

At Eleanor Health, we understand that your recovery process needs to work seamlessly with your daily life. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach that combines both virtual and in-person outpatient care. Your treatment team will work with you to develop an individual treatment plan that offers the best of both worlds: the personal connection of face-to-face visits and the convenience of online sessions. This flexible approach not only enhances the quality of care but also makes treatment more accessible and affordable.

Our comprehensive approach to opioid addiction treatment combines several evidence-based practices:

  • Medication-assisted treatment using FDA-approved medications to manage physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms
  • Individual counseling to address underlying causes and develop coping strategies
  • Group therapy sessions for peer support and shared learning
  • Regular check-ins with your dedicated treatment team
  • Mental health support for co-occurring conditions
  • Case management to coordinate your care and recovery needs

We understand that recovery from opiate addiction looks different for everyone. That’s why we create flexible, personalized treatment plans that evolve with your progress. Our long-term support includes relapse prevention strategies and ongoing connection to our recovery community, ensuring you have the tools and support needed for sustained recovery.

At Eleanor Health, we take a whole-person approach to alcohol addiction recovery. Our comprehensive treatment program includes:

  • Evidence-based behavioral health therapies
  • Medication management when appropriate
  • Individual and group counseling sessions
  • Trauma-informed care
  • Case management services
  • Music therapy, art therapy, and expressive therapies
  • Connection to local recovery community
  • Discharge and aftercare planning

Our experienced team creates a personalized recovery program that combines these services to address both the physical and emotional aspects of alcohol addiction. We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, which is why we offer flexible programming that adapts to your specific needs while providing consistent support and structure throughout your recovery journey.

Medical detox is often a crucial first step in addiction recovery, providing supervised care during withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Since withdrawal can be dangerous, clinical staff monitor patients 24/7 and may use FDA-approved medications to manage symptoms safely.

While we don’t provide detoxification services or residential care at our facility, our admissions team can help coordinate these services with trusted partners when needed. We work closely with local providers to ensure a smooth transition into our outpatient care once you’re ready.
