Consistently ranked the #1 addiction treatment center in Ohio by Newsweek, Ohio Addiction Recovery Center (OARC) empowers clients to embark on a life of rewarding recovery from addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their phased continuum of care gives clients the stability and support of staying with one trusted provider as they move through each stage of recovery—from
detox and
residential treatment to day treatment and intensive
outpatient programming.
Each OARC client is matched with a primary therapist who stays with them throughout all levels of care, providing consistency, trust, and a deeper understanding of their journey. Together, they create a personalized treatment plan that blends evidence-based psychotherapy,
holistic therapies,
family therapy, life skills, physical fitness, and spiritual growth. Through individual and group sessions, clients build on their strengths and develop tools to overcome the behaviors holding them back.
Located in a residential area just outside Columbus, OARC offers transportation to and from treatment throughout Ohio. Clients stay in large shared rooms with semi-private bathrooms which include multiple showers, sinks, and toilets. The center features separate rec rooms for men and women, access to nature, and outdoor games like basketball, kickball, and cornhole. Catered meals can be tailored to any dietary needs, ensuring comfort throughout the stay.
In preparation for the return to everyday life, OARC equips clients with a roadmap to recovery post-rehab that includes relapse prevention strategies and connections to local resources to maintain sobriety. Alumni stay connected to each other via a private Facebook group and Instagram page with updates on quarterly events that offer substance-free fun and connection.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Ohio Addiction Recovery Center provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
