Who comes here
Who the Columbus Facility Is For
Substance use: alcohol, opioids including heroin and fentanyl, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine and other stimulants. Ambulatory detox manages withdrawal from these where symptoms are mild to moderate, and treatment continues through partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care. The condition pages describe each: alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines and methamphetamine.
Mental health: depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD and bipolar disorder, treated in their own partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient tracks, with medication management by a nurse practitioner. See mental health treatment in Ohio.
Both at once: a substance use problem and a mental health condition together, called a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders, are treated in the same program. The dual diagnosis track of partial hospitalization runs Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:15 pm. See dual diagnosis treatment.
Who it is not for: severe withdrawal with seizures, hallucinations or confusion needs a hospital emergency department, not an outpatient program. In an emergency call 911. For thoughts of suicide, call or text 988.
Programs at this facility
Levels of Care in Columbus
- Outpatient Withdrawal Management (Ambulatory Detox)A medically supervised outpatient program that manages the physical symptoms of withdrawal while you keep living at home. Nurse practitioners and registered nurses assess and monitor you at the Columbus and Dayton facilities. It covers mild to moderate withdrawal, and not everyone is a candidate.
- Partial HospitalizationThe most intensive level of care Leora offers: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 4:15 pm, in mental health, dual diagnosis and substance use tracks, with medication management at least once a week and a session with your therapist every week. You go home at the end of each day.
- Intensive OutpatientThree to five days a week, three hours of therapy group a day, which comes to nine to fifteen hours a week, plus individual appointments. It runs in Columbus and Dayton in separate mental health and substance use tracks, and virtual IOP is available anywhere in Ohio.
- OutpatientThe least intensive level of care at Leora: two hours of therapy group one or two days a week, plus individual appointments. For some people it follows intensive outpatient, and for others it is the starting point. It runs in Columbus and Dayton.
Other Services
- Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)Medication combined with counseling and therapy. It can start during ambulatory detox where it is needed.
- Case ManagementAppointments with a case manager for the practical problems around treatment.
- Virtual IOPBy video anywhere in Ohio: a daytime program for mental health and an evening program for substance use.
A nurse practitioner sees each PHP patient at least once a week and each IOP patient every two to three weeks. Partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient are built on group therapy, with individual sessions alongside.
The article What is an IOP? explains the hours, how IOP compares with PHP, working during treatment and what insurance covers in Ohio.
What we treat here
Substance Use and Mental Health
Drug rehab and alcohol rehab at the Columbus facility cover alcohol and drugs, under one substance use disorder (SUD) program. Ambulatory detox manages withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, methamphetamine and other stimulants, and opioid withdrawal including heroin and fentanyl, where symptoms are mild to moderate; from there, treatment steps down through partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care.
Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) is treated here from detox through outpatient. You do not need a diagnosis, or to call yourself an alcoholic, before you ask for help. Before discharge, the team plans the next step with you: a lower level of care, outpatient therapy, and community recovery support such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
A dual diagnosis, also called co-occurring disorders, is a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time. The Columbus facility treats both together in the dual diagnosis track of partial hospitalization; intensive outpatient runs separate mental health and substance use tracks, and mental health conditions are treated on their own.
Admissions
The Assessment, the First Step
Every admission starts with an assessment at the Columbus facility: a clinical evaluation of your substance use and mental health that ends with a recommended level of care. Call (614) 665-8878 to set a time, or walk in. Walk-ins are welcome.
Bring your photo ID and insurance card, a current list of your medications, and a copy of your discharge plan if you are coming from another program. Admissions checks your coverage during the call, so have the card ready before you dial.

Cost
Insurance and Paying for Treatment
Leora accepts every Ohio Medicaid plan and all major commercial insurance carriers. Coverage for each level of care depends on the plan, and admissions checks it with you during the first call. The Ohio Medicaid page and the UnitedHealthcare page describe what those plans cover; the insurance page covers the rest.
Leora does not publish prices, and this site has no self-pay rate or sliding scale. What a plan covers, and what it leaves to you, is answered by admissions on the call.
Clinical team
The People Who Treat You
Detox and medication are the work of the nurse practitioners and registered nurses: they assess and monitor ambulatory detox, and a nurse practitioner manages medication at least once a week in partial hospitalization and every two to three weeks in intensive outpatient and outpatient care. Medication assisted treatment for opioid use disorder uses buprenorphine (the medication in Suboxone, also given here as the Sublocade or Brixadi injection) or extended release naltrexone (Vivitrol). For alcohol use disorder the FDA approved medications are naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram; admissions can say which of them the Columbus facility offers. The MAT page describes each. Leora does not prescribe methadone, and can treat people who get methadone from an outside provider.
Therapy groups and individual sessions are run by licensed therapists and counselors. The licenses Leora lists: LCDCIII and LICDC (chemical dependency counselor), LSW and LISW (social worker), LPC and LPCC (professional counselor). A case manager handles the practical problems around treatment.
