Caring Mentoring to Empower Youth in Northeast Ohio
The iC.A.R.E mentoring program really impressed me because it helps youth connect with older mentors who can set a strong example for them and help them manage their transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Mentors are volunteers who are trained and provided with curriculum and guidance, so there’s no “What should we do?” awkwardness. The goal of the program is to help young people develop prosocial behaviors and the skills necessary to make productive choices. It also helps redirect youth who are involved in risky activities and helps them see a future for themselves that’s healthy and focused on solid goals.

If your addiction treatment includes rational emotive behavioral therapy in Ohio, the therapist will take on the role of educator and teacher. The therapists uses this model to empower individuals to identify and replace irrational beliefs. Sessions usually last for one hour and may continue for a few weeks or up to one year.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an integrative, community-based care strategy designed to address the needs of persons with severe and/or complex mental illness or behavioral disorders. ACT is typically provided by a multidisciplinary team of medical and mental health care providers, social workers, therapists, and other specialists, including addiction recovery professionals. These services are frequently provided in the home and community to clients in crisis, those who are clinically unstable, and those who are unable or unwilling to travel to a hospital or clinic for in-person treatment.
Administrative Services are ancillary services provided by multidisciplinary teams of professionals, including clinicians, social workers, therapists, and case managers. These services ensure clients receive seamless, comprehensive care across all stages of recovery. Programs may include transportation assistance, intervention planning, insurance verification, supportive housing and employment, and discharge planning and support.
Levels of Care
During outpatient rehab in Ohio, you’ll develop sober-living skills and learn how to live a sober lifestyle. This happens through regular meetings with a recovery expert and involvement in a 12-step program. Your outpatient treatment can continue for as long as you need it, from weeks to years.
If you’re struggling with both mental illness and addiction at the same time, dual diagnosis treatment in Ohio is ideal. This treatment provides an integrated approach to treat both disorders effectively.
