H.O.P.E. Counseling
H.O.P.E. Counseling is an outpatient substance abuse treatment program certified by the State of Ohio. H.O.P.E. Counseling provides drug and alcohol counseling and treatment to individuals with drug and alcohol abuse and dependence issues and their related mental/emotional health concerns.
H.O.P.E. Counseling also provides mental health treatment for those who need depression counseling or anxiety counseling. Other important personal issues addressed during these professional services include, but are not limited to stress, anger, relationships, and grief.
H.O.P.E. Counseling's outpatient substance abuse treatment assists people who are experiencing various difficulties in their lives. The purpose of H.O.P.E. Counseling is to provide effective drug and alcohol counseling services in intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment and non-intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment settings.
H.O.P.E. Counseling program staff accomplishes this by using therapeutic interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, person centered therapy, solution focused therapy, and reality therapy. The staff include Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors, Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselors, and Licensed Professional Counselors who provide clients with meaningful opportunities to recover, become healthier, and be more productive in different personal and professional/occupational ways.
The professional substance abuse programs at H.O.P.E. Counseling address drug and alcohol abuse and dependence of persons who may be mandated by the legal system or by their employers. Although some are court ordered and on probation, individuals at H.O.P.E. Counseling benefit from the clinical counseling services when they become ready and motivated to change.
H.O.P.E. Counseling has a relaxed and caring approach that creates a positive atmosphere where effective learning about drug and alcohol abuse and dependence can help clients become hopeful that their lives will improve. The outpatient substance abuse treatment program accomplishes this through assessment, group drug and alcohol counseling, individual therapy, case management, and crisis counseling services.
The ultimate goal of the outpatient substance abuse treatment program at H.O.P.E. Counseling is to emphasize the importance of honesty (H), openness (O), patience (P), and effort (E) so people have an opportunity to make significant, positive changes in their lives.
H.O.P.E. Counseling helps individuals satisfy all probation/court requirements for outpatient substance abuse treatment and drug and alcohol counseling. To expedite admission into one of the substance abuse programs, H.O.P.E. Counseling will accept an assessment from another certified program or agency if the assessment is less than three months old. After receiving a substance abuse assessment, clients participate in a six week intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment program followed by ten weeks of aftercare (a required part of IOP).
The program provides group counseling three evenings per week from 5:45 to 8:45 p.m. each evening during the initial six weeks. The non-intensive outpatient treatment program at H.O.P.E. Counseling is one evening per week from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. for ten weeks.
All participants attend periodic individual counseling sessions, Alcoholics/Narcotics Anonymous (AA/NA) meetings, and IOP clients invite family members to attend a family group counseling session. More frequent family counseling, marital counseling, and couples counseling can be arranged during someone's time in the program.
