About Ohio State Talbot Hall – Columbus
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center offers drug and alcohol addiction services through their Ohio State Talbot Hall. This facility has been providing substance use treatment in Columbus Ohio, since 1974. Their physicians and staff have training in the latest clinical techniques and proven treatment methods. I like that they treat addiction to a wide variety of substances, such as prescription medications, marijuana and hallucinogens.
The staff will perform an initial evaluation that will examine the physical, social and psychological elements of your addiction. After the evaluation, clinicians will determine the level of treatment that will best match your needs. Some of the levels of care available are detoxification, residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
The beds available at the facility include 25 withdrawal management beds and 15 residential unit beds. Staff members can provide clients with medication to help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. They also provide medication management to make sure you’re consistently getting the right medication and dosage that you need.
Psychotherapy and support groups will be beneficial in helping you identify the cause of your addiction and understand your triggers. Through evidence based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, your counselor will help you to change negative thoughts and beliefs that hinder your recovery. The peers you meet in your support groups will be a source of support as you work through overcoming your addiction.
Columbus has various interesting attractions to see while you’re in the area, such as the Columbus Museum of Art and the Topiary Park. While you’re on campus, you can also take a walk around the Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Garden. This can be a great place to get some healthy exercise and take time to reflect on your recovery.
