Employee Services Program

When an employee is struggling with addiction or mental health concerns, organizations need a treatment partner they can trust. Ohio Community Health provides evidence-based outpatient care designed to support working adults while preserving privacy, dignity, and respect.

We partner with employers, EAPs, and referral sources to help employees access treatment without unnecessary disruption to their work or personal lives. Our approach balances clinical accountability with flexibility, allowing individuals to engage in care while continuing to meet professional responsibilities whenever possible.

A Structured, Confidential Path to Recovery for Working People

The Employee Services Program at Ohio Community Health offers outpatient addiction and mental health treatment tailored specifically for employed individuals. Care is structured, clinically guided, and designed to support stability both inside and outside the workplace.

Depending on clinical need, employees may participate in intensive outpatient treatment, individual therapy, medication management when appropriate, and integrated dual diagnosis care. Evening programming is available for those who cannot attend daytime services, helping treatment remain accessible without requiring extended time away from work.

Treatment Designed for Working Adults

Our programs recognize the realities of employment, routine, and responsibility. Treatment is built to support recovery while employees continue showing up for their jobs, families, and daily obligations.

Employer Coordination, When Appropriate

With the employee’s written authorization, Ohio Community Health can coordinate with employers or EAPs to support treatment engagement while maintaining strict confidentiality. Coordination is always optional and handled carefully to avoid creating a punitive or adversarial dynamic.

Structured Communication Without Overreach

When employers opt in, communication may include:

Confirmation that the employee is attending scheduled treatment sessions and actively participating in care.

Verification that the employee is meeting agreed-upon program requirements and expectations.

Reporting of drug screening results when testing is part of the treatment plan and proper authorization has been provided.

Formal documentation confirming enrollment in treatment or successful completion of a program.

This structure allows organizations to meet internal requirements while respecting the employee’s recovery process.

Why Employers Choose Ohio Community Health

Organizations continue to partner with Ohio Community Health because our program supports recovery—without compromising trust. We focus on stability, accountability, and long-term engagement of our clients instead of short-term compliance.

We Bring Outcomes That Benefit Employees and Organizations

Employees who receive the right support will often return to work more reliable and feeling motivated and confident. Employers benefit from this by improved attendance, reduced disruption, and a culture that values support and accountability.

You're not facing this alone.

With many of us in recovery ourselves here at Ohio Community Health, we understand the challenges you’re facing, and we’re here to support you.

Aftercare & Ongoing Support Beyond Treatment

Recovery does not end when formal treatment ends. When the program is complete, each employee will have received a personalized aftercare plan designed to support their continued progress and reduce the risk of relapse.

Peer connection and alumni engagement

Regular follow-up communication and check-ins

Ongoing participation in support groups or recovery-focused events

Coordination with outpatient providers or continued therapy, when appropriate

This continued connection helps to maintain stability, all the while keeping support accessible amidst a new daily schedule.

Taylor Lilley CDCA, PRS

Growing up in Louisiana with addiction running rampant on both sides of my family. A life away from drugs and alcohol seemed impossible for someone like me. I remember what it was like sitting across from someone thinking there is no way they could ever understand what I was going through.

Sharing my experience offers a credibility and a certain type of trust with clients that only someone who has walked down this road can illustrate. To immerse myself further into the field of addiction, I am currently studying at Cincinnati State for Human and Social Services.  I hope I never forget where I came from, if I can do it, so can you!

Mary D.Porter,LICDC

 My name is Mary D. Porter. I received my Masters of Social Work in 2008 from The University of Cincinnati. I received My Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor Licensure in 2001. I retired from The Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center on April 14, 2014. Currently, I am the Associate Clinical Director for The Ohio Community Health Recovery Centers in Cincinnati.. Due to the fourth wave of the Opioid Epidemic in 2019,  I decided to enter back into the workforce to assist the addicted population.

The overdoses were astounding and I wanted to help.  I consider myself  to be an advocate for the addicted population. My compassion, resilience, empathy, wisdom, knowledge, experience and  love I have for this forgotten population goes beyond words. I consider what I do for the addicted population as a calling versus a “career,” because I too was once an “addict and alcoholic.” Today I am 45.5 years alcohol and substance free.

Ben Lemmon LCDC III

Hello, my name is Ben Lemmon, and I’m the Vice President and Clinical Director at Ohio Community Health Recovery Centers. I’ve been working in the addiction and mental health field since 2013 and decided to enter the field after overcoming my own challenges with addiction.

When I first meet a client, I always explain to them that the reason we are meeting is because they are not capable of obtaining or maintaining sobriety, and my goal is to create a person that can maintain sobriety. I believe a person’s personality is made up of their thoughts, feelings and actions and my job is to help clients identify the thoughts, feelings and actions that have them disconnected from recovery and provide them with the tools to live a healthy and happy life.
