Portage Path Behavioral Health

About Portage Path Behavioral Health – Barberton

Known for the Serbian-American dish, “Barberton Chicken”, Barberton, Ohio is also home to Portage Path Behavioral Health. This outpatient treatment center welcomes adults battling mental health conditions, addiction and co-occurring disorders. You can access personalized care and multiple specialized programs to meet you where you are in recovery.

With outpatient care you can live at home and maintain daily commitments like work, school and family. Their programs offer small group and individual sessions in person or virtually. You can also access case management, psychiatry, peer support and more to help you reach your goals. These approaches help you get to the root of your addiction and develop coping skills to promote long-term recovery.

What stands out most to me is their MOMS clinic in Akron. Just a 15 minute drive away, this specialized track offers comprehensive care for women with high-risk pregnancies. You’ll benefit from quick access to care and connection to a compassionate recovery team including a case manager, individual counselor, and peer support. They’ll work together to help you reach recovery and connect you with essentials like clothing, housing, social services and more.

Another cool feature I noticed was their Mobile Therapy Center. They strive to address barriers to treatment like language and stigma by bringing behavioral health services to Summit County communities. This 35-ft RV provides a private space for mental health screenings and other services. Churches, business, organizations and more can request their services for free.

Lastly, their wide variety of groups caught my eye. You can participate in traditional sessions focused on building coping skills, addiction education, life skills and anger management. They also provide specialized groups. Each group is within 25 minutes from Barberton.

Of these groups, the Women’s Empowerment one really stood out. These sessions offer a tailored support system for women with PTSD and complex trauma. You’ll benefit from psychoeducation and skills training to overcome these challenges and support recovery.

Levels of Care

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
