Ignatia Hall was part of the St Thomas Hospital in Akron, Ohio. The hospital was part of Summa Health System. Ignatia Hall provided addiction treatment, which started when St. Thomas admitted their first alcohol use disorder patient in 1939.
Services at Ignatia included inpatient detox, outpatient treatment programs including intensive outpatient treatment, and medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.
Free Aftercare Services in Akron
One interesting part of this program was that they offered free aftercare services for a year after treatment. This was really helpful for those who finished outpatient treatment because learning to use new coping mechanisms and implementing new mindsets can be challenging.
Knowing that you have someone on your side to provide ongoing support can make the difference between falling back into old habits and holding strong in long-term recovery.
Outpatient Opiate Treatment and MAT
Another thing I noticed was the opioid program. The program at Ignatia Hall included an overnight stay to start MAT as well as several weeks of outpatient treatment. The outpatient program included family counseling and support, random drug testing, and attendance at 12 Step programs.
After up to five weeks of outpatient treatment, clients could attend weekly group therapy for up to 12 weeks.
Levels of Care
-
Outpatient
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.
Detox Service Setting
-
Outpatient Detox
Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems.
-
MAT
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey.
