About Talbert House Deaconess Healthcheck Walnut Hills – Cincinnati
The Talbert House is a community services organization that provides drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Cincinnati, Ohio. Addiction treatment is one of their five service lines. The others are community care, corrections, housing and mental health.
The addiction treatment here has a few different levels of care. For starters, they have a crisis stabilization center which is a 14 bed inpatient treatment unit. It’s basically a diversion from a psychiatric hospital stay. You can come here when you’re in a crisis with your addiction and mental health and they’ll help you get back to a more stable point where you can move forward with recovery.
The next treatment option they have for people with addiction is their engagement center. It’s specifically for opioid addiction and it’s a crisis center for people who are at a high risk for relapsing because they’re having withdrawal symptoms. It’s also for people who have overdosed on opioids. This for a lot of people is the starting point of their journey where the team here can help you figure out what type of rehab or treatment you need and connect you with those services.
Finally, they have a direct treatment program here too for opioid addiction. They have individual counseling and group counseling here along with specialized medication like methadone to lower your physical addiction symptoms and cravings so you’re less likely to relapse. They also have individualized treatment planning here so you get the specific treatment you need.
What I find most helpful about this facility is that they do more than addiction treatment and that’s helpful because addiction often doesn’t happen in isolation. A lot of people have mental health conditions and other challenges alongside addiction and this organization can help you with everything you need.
