About Health Recovery Services
Health Recovery Services has provided addiction recovery and mental health care in southeastern Ohio for at least 45 years. Their community providers serve adolescents, adults, and families in Athens, Ohio. They target the underserved, indigent, and folks from high-risk communities for life-saving care.
Their outpatient clinic in Athens is just off the US Route 33 highway and four miles from downtown. The clinic also takes clients from nearby cities like Albany and the Plain. Various bus services link the clinic to surrounding areas.
Addiction Aid for Adults and Adolescents
I think one endearing attribute of Health Recovery Services is a sliding fee scale so you can pay for care based on income and family size. This ensures you won’t be denied access to health care and makes treatment accessible for everyone regardless of ability to pay.
Their outpatient substance use disorder treatment involves individual and group therapy following diagnostic assessment and treatment planning. Therapy is geared towards tackling the root causes of your addiction, building sound coping skills, and preventing relapse. They provide referrals for supervised withdrawal management if that’s appropriate for your condition.
They address co-occurring disorders via an integrated care model that takes care of addiction and mental issues simultaneously. They also offer alcohol and drug lab testing to help monitor and support your recovery progress.
The adolescent program supports an individual’s emotional growth and development with an emphasis on improved behavior and academic performance. Services are provided in the home, school and community. This makes it easier for teens to access support where they’re most comfortable. Counseling focuses on symptom management and skill building to address anger, peer conflict, and self-esteem that may trigger substance misuse.
Medication Support Recovery
An important recovery program accessible in this clinic is medication assisted treatment (MAT). This technique uses counseling alongside FD- approved methadone, buprenorphine/Suboxone and Vivitrol. Subutex and Sublocade are also available options. When taken as prescribed, meds curb cravings and minimize withdrawal symptoms.
Alongside prescriptions is counseling to address the underlying psychological issues fueling your addiction. Combining counseling enables you to stay longer in treatment and facilitates lasting abstinence. It’s all about giving you a fresh start and the opportunity to rebuild your life.
Their wraparound services include case management. Your case manager will advocate for your needs, help you navigate the treatment process, and link you to community resources that’ll support your lasting recovery. The latter may include safe housing, job placement and educational programs.
Help With Gambling
Health Recovery Services can help people struggling with compulsive gambling issues regain control of their lives. This is another service I consider very helpful due to the impact of gambling on individuals.
Gambling can affect your finances, relationships, and mental wellbeing among others. Compulsive gambling can even occur alongside substance use. This is especially true for people who use substances to enhance the thrill of gambling or deal with financial losses. Health Recovery Services may provide counseling and support to help you navigate these issues.
