Portage Path Behavioral Health
About Portage Path Behavioral Health – Akron, Ohio
Located in Akron, Ohio, Portage Path Behavioral Health is a nonprofit outpatient clinic that helps those unable to pay for mental health and substance use treatment. Believing that no one should have to walk the difficult path to recovery alone, they offer dual diagnosis treatment services and medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction. Accredited by The Joint Commission, their services are funded by Medicaid and Medicare, as well as through private donations.
Operating under a strong ethic of teamwork, their multidisciplinary teams provide behavioral health care and case management, including medication for opioid use disorder. Aligned with the Alliance for Innovation on Mental Health, their facility offers programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Dual Recovery Anonymous, a group open to those recovering from dual disorders. In addition, they supply onsite primary medical care and pharmacy services.
It’s also neat that they’re in the center of town. There are some local attractions that can offer respite when you have downtime. The trailhead for the Towpath Trail is along the Erie Canal and is within walking distance. Stretch your legs or take in a game at the many stadiums around town.
The Akron facility is home to the Maternal Opioid Mental Health Support (MOMS) clinic. This is a specialty program designed to provide comprehensive and compassionate care to pregnant women facing mental health and/or substance abuse issues. Overseen by their board certified medical director and staffed by a team of nurse practitioners, the MOMS program offers access to individual therapists, case managers, and peer support. It also consists of regular visits with a psychiatrist and coordination of care with referring providers.
Two other programs are Bridges and Crossroads: New Directions, both of which are structured to help those with co-occurring disorders. The Bridges program is custom designed to assist clients in making faster recovery progress and avoiding relapse. It focuses on forming positive coping mechanisms and lifestyle changes, as well as fostering better communication skills to heal damaged relationships.
Crossroads is a co-ed intensive outpatient program (IOP) that meets in the evenings. Using trauma informed and evidence based practices, it provides a safe and structured environment to build life and problem solving skills.
