Treatments and Services

Who We Can Help

The TriHealth Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program provides individuals who are at risk of losing their families, careers, health and themselves an opportunity to learn how to overcome their alcohol and drug disorder, restore their lives and maintain their recovery.

The TriHealth Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program best serves individuals who can benefit from receiving treatment in either a day or evening intensive outpatient program while carrying on regular activities. It can follow any detoxification program. If residential treatment is needed, we will assist with a referral to a residential program and provide the follow-up care.

Assessment

  • The initial step is to call and arrange for an assessment at (513) 489-6011.
  • Appointments are made within three days of the call and are scheduled in the daytime on weekdays.
  • The purpose is to thoroughly assess, with the individual, his or her alcohol and drug use and related problems, determine if there is the need for treatment, and recommend a plan for treatment.
  • An assessment done by another service provider may be accepted in lieu of the TriHealth assessment if it is comparable and a referral relationship exists.

Treatment Program

Day and evening intensive outpatient services are held at our Blue Ash location - 4410 Carver Woods Drive Suite 206 Cincinnati, Ohio 45242. 

Group sessions are held Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

  • Day: 9 a.m. to noon.
  • Evening: 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Intensive outpatient groups focus on:

  • Educational topics crucial to learn in early recovery about alcohol/drug dependence, including disease concept, brain chemistry and cross addiction.
  • Recovery topics to help identify high risk situations, manage these, and prevent relapse.
  • Structured group counseling/support to assist with honest processing and expression of feelings and coping with situations that may arise during the recovery process.
  • Emphasis on individualized care to assist patients with improved health and function in key life areas and development, learning the tools to navigate a healthy sober lifestyle and the skills to develop supports that are conducive for a successful recovery.

Additional information:

  • The patient meets for individualized treatment planning with assigned counselor.
  • The program is approximately eight weeks, depending on the patient's progress.
  • Referrals are arranged as needed for medical, mental health, pain management, pastoral care, nutrition and other potential issues.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Our outpatient program can include medication-assisted treatment. In some cases, we prescribe medications to patients to treat mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms on an outpatient basis, and/or assist with recovery. Our medications can help treat addictions to drugs including alcohol and opiates such as heroin. Read more >

Depending on the situation, TriHealth’s Bethesda Alcohol and Drug Treatment outpatient program can include medication-assisted treatment.

Medications are prescribed to patients who agree to participate in Bethesda’s Intensive Outpatient Program. 

Suboxone

Suboxone has been proven effective in those recovering from addiction to opiates, including prescription medications and heroin. The medication is effective for:

  • Treating withdrawal symptoms
  • Increasing the likelihood of a person remaining in a recovery program
  • Reducing the likelihood of relapses

This treatment has been endorsed by the state of Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and recognized by most major insurance companies.

Additional Medications

Other medications that are used to treat withdrawal and support recovery for alcohol and drug addiction are available in the program as prescribed by Medical Director, Ismail Badran, MD.
