Outpatient Addiction Treatment in Youngstown, OH

Youngstown faces significant challenges with substance use disorders, with Mahoning County experiencing record-high overdose deaths in 2021, a 59% increase from 2019. With fentanyl present in over 75% of drug-related deaths and the area contributing disproportionately to Ohio’s overdose statistics, accessible addiction treatment is crucial for our community.

Eleanor Health responds to these challenges by providing evidence-based outpatient treatment that combines medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and peer support services. Our comprehensive approach addresses both substance use and underlying factors, offering virtual and in-person care options to ensure addiction treatment is accessible to all Youngstown residents, regardless of their circumstances.

Over 18% of adults in Mahoning County (which includes Youngstown) received mental health treatment or counseling in the past year, highlighting a significant gap in care access.  The area faces serious challenges, including high rates of suicide, behavioral health conditions, and social barriers like poverty, housing insecurity, and limited transportation, all of which impact mental well-being.

Eleanor Health addresses these needs through our integrated approach to mental health and addiction treatment. We provide comprehensive care that includes counseling, behavioral therapy, and support for co-occurring disorders while helping clients connect to local resources for housing, transportation, and other essential needs. Our virtual and in-person mental health services ensure accessible care for all Youngstown residents seeking support.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of care. Addiction treatment centers 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 treatments 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 Behavioral 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 supportive 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
• Trauma-related disorders 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.

Medical detoxification 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.
