About New Concepts – Toledo
New Concepts in Toledo, Ohio, is accredited by CARF and certified by the Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services Board. They accept federal and government funding as well as Medicare, Medicaid, and other select insurances and vouchers. A sliding fee scale is available for those needing payment assistance.
This facility offers intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and non-intensive outpatient programs (NIOP). The clinic can make referrals for inpatient residential services too or provide mandated assessments required by court.
IOP is chosen for adults who need intensive treatment, ranking from moderate to severe substance use disorder. NIOP is chosen for those who are not in need of intensive care and for those who have completed IOP. NIOP supports those who are in an environment that puts them at risk and offers individual, group, and family counseling.
Medication-assisted treatment is provided here as well for those with opiate withdrawals. Clients are required to be under a doctor’s care to receive medication treatment.
Other services include education on the effects of using drugs and alcohol, crisis interventions, and urinalysis. Their community psychiatric support treatment offers several services including case management, advocating for client needs, planning treatment that is individualized to the client, providing strategies to help clients manage symptoms and avoid crisis, and daily living skills training.
Individualized Service Planning (ISP) is part of a statewide plan for clients who receive services. This means a client can move across the state and still have the same ISP available to other health facilities. The program begins with an assessment of client needs and preferences after which measurable goals are established by the client. Services and support are offered to help the client achieve these goals and the plan is routinely reviewed and revised.
Clients have reported coming to the facility hopeless and leaving focused. They express appreciation for the after hours call service, transportation assistance, home visits for those who are not able to travel, and short wait times for appointments.
The nearest transit stop from the clinic is an eight-minute walk. Also near the clinic is the Toledo Botanical Garden with parks, and trails. The Wildwood Preserve Metropark offers trails, gardens and pavilions, and the Ottawa River flows through the center of the park.
