A unique element about this center is they treat endocarditis, which is a heart condition that is often caused by the use of IV drugs without proper sterilization that sends bacteria to the heart. This is the only treatment center in Ohio that treats this condition. This may be the only treatment center in the US that is set up to treat this condition. They also continue treating you after you have left the residential facility.
This facility has medication assisted treatment (MAT) as needed. MAT uses medication to help you detox without severe withdrawal and helps curb the cravings for your drug of choice. Medication assisted treatment is meant to help you in combination with counseling and addiction recovery therapy.
