This place has changed me. The love I’ve felt here was needed, and I’m staying here as long as I can to get the tools I need. I’ve been clean longer than I ever have been here. They teach you how to save yourself. I’m excited about the future for the first time in a long time.
Chris, US Airforce
I’ve been in numerous rehabilitation centers, and St. Joseph Health Services is by far the best place I’ve been. I can’t get treatment like this at home. It is phenomenal how compassionate and caring these people are. There are five-star hotels, but there aren’t enough stars in the sky to put a quality on this place. The staff makes you want to be a better person.

Core Addiction Therapies We Offer
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and widely used approaches in addiction treatment. CBT helps individuals identify negative thought patterns that lead to substance use and replace them with healthier, more constructive thinking.
Clients learn practical coping skills to manage triggers, reduce cravings, and respond to high-risk situations without returning to substance use. CBT is a cornerstone of recovery at all levels of care.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills. It is especially effective for individuals who experience intense emotions, impulsivity, or co-occurring mental health disorders.
DBT helps clients develop healthier ways to manage emotional pain without turning to drugs or alcohol, making it a powerful tool for long-term stability.
Individual therapy provides a private, focused setting where clients can work through trauma, personal challenges, and recovery goals with a licensed clinician. Each session is tailored to the individual’s clinical needs and history.
Group therapy complements this work by creating connection, accountability, and peer support. Clients share experiences, practice new coping skills, and build a sense of community that reduces isolation during recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy to treat substance use disorders, particularly opioid and alcohol addiction.
MAT helps reduce cravings, stabilize brain chemistry, and support early recovery. At St. Joseph Health Services, MAT is always integrated with addiction therapy to ensure a complete, whole-person approach to treatment.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Mental Health Treatment
Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. This is known as dual diagnosis.
Treating both conditions together is essential for long-term recovery. Without integrated care, untreated mental health symptoms can increase relapse risk and hinder progress.
St. Joseph Health Services provides fully integrated dual diagnosis treatment that addresses both substance use and mental health conditions simultaneously.
We frequently treat addiction alongside:
- Depression
- Anxiety disorders
- PTSD and trauma-related conditions
- Bipolar disorder
- ADHD and OCD
- Borderline personality disorder
Integrated care improves emotional stability, reduces relapse risk, and supports stronger long-term recovery outcomes. Clients receive coordinated treatment from a unified clinical team focused on both mental health and addiction recovery.


Levels of Care for Addiction Therapy in Ohio and West Virginia
Recovery often begins with medical detox, where clients safely withdraw from substances under 24/7 clinical supervision. This ensures physical stabilization during the earliest and most vulnerable stage of recovery.
Following detox, residential treatment provides structured, immersive care with daily therapy, group support, and clinical monitoring in a safe environment.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured therapy several times per week while allowing clients to live at home or in sober living. It is ideal for step-down care or individuals who do not require inpatient treatment.
Outpatient therapy provides ongoing clinical support as individuals transition back into daily life while maintaining recovery progress.
