The Nord Center

About The Nord Center – Lorain, Ohio

Once home to a large U.S. steel plant, Lorain is Ohio’s ninth largest city. It’s also home to the Nord Center, which provides treatment for mental health for adults and adolescents, as well as substance use disorder treatment for adults. They also have a variety of other services, including help for hoarding disorder and a Rape Crisis Center.

The Nord Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. They also have a sliding scale of fees for those without insurance. Services are available in Spanish and English.

One of the unique elements of this clinic is the comprehensive suite of services for those who have suffered sexual assault. Traumas like that have a significant impact on mental health and can be a root cause of substance use.

You should never hesitate to reach out for support, whether you were assaulted yesterday or 10 years ago. If the assault was recent they can help collect evidence. They can also help you understand your options legally and connect you to support groups.

The Rape Crisis Center has a 24/7 hotline answered by a trained crisis team. They offer support during evidence collection and advocacy during the legal process. They can also offer short term counseling and referrals to longer term mental healthcare.

I also noticed that they have a Child’s Advocacy Center that helps children and families who have experienced traumatic events. They can provide forensic medical evaluation, legal advocacy age appropriate education about safe touch and boundaries. They also provide sexual abuse prevention training for schools and youth organizations, helping children understand what healthy boundaries and safe touch are.
