About McKinley Hall – Women’s Outpatient – Springfield
The McKinley Hall Women’s Outpatient program serves women in Springfield, Ohio, who are struggling with substance abuse. It’s one of several programs at McKinley Hall which also has Level II and Level III recovery housing for women, peer supports, a separate drug rehab program for men and community outreach services.
Participants in the women’s outpatient program can receive childcare while they’re in treatment which can help make services more accessible. It appears the center takes insurance but it’d be a good idea to call since payment information isn’t advertised.
Many people who abuse substances have experienced trauma and use drugs or alcohol to evade their emotional struggles. The McKinley Hall women’s drug rehab program is trauma-informed and staffed by professionals specializing in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Research suggests EMDR can effectively help people cope with trauma and overcome post-traumatic stress, which can be crucial in recovery.
The center also recognizes that substance abuse and the circumstances surrounding it don’t just affect the user, but their families too. A trauma-informed children’s case manager watches kids while their moms are in treatment and helps them develop protective factors and pro-social skills. The case manager also works with school counselors and daycares to get kids involved in early childhood education, youth programs and extracurricular activities.
Program participants can get help connecting with additional resources as well. The center collaborates with other organizations that offer essential services like housing, food, employment, public benefits, transportation, mental and primary health care, family counseling and parenting classes.
Before starting treatment there, you’ll go through an assessment so staff can determine what level of substance abuse treatment you require. At the same time, they’ll screen for coexisting mental or physical health problems and see if you could benefit from social services. If they can’t offer something you need then they’ll refer you to another local provider who can.
