What We Treat

Substance use disorders affect people in different ways. At Ohio Community Health Recovery Centers, we provide evidence-based outpatient treatment for individuals struggling with alcohol addiction, drug addiction, opioid use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions.

Our addiction treatment programs are designed to help individuals stabilize, build structure, and develop the skills needed for long-term recovery.

Whether you are dealing with alcohol misuse, prescription drug dependence, or illicit substance use, our clinical team works to understand your situation and recommend the appropriate level of care.

Substance Use Disorders We Treat

Addiction is a complex medical condition that affects both physical health and mental well-being. Effective treatment must address more than substance use alone.

At Ohio Community Health Recovery Centers, our programs focus on the underlying factors that contribute to addiction, including the physical, psychological, social, and emotional components of recovery.

Alcohol Addiction

Drug Addiction

Opiate Addiction

Dual Diagnosis

Alcohol Addiction

Alcohol use disorder is one of the most common forms of addiction in the United States. Because alcohol is legal and widely available, many people develop problematic drinking patterns before realizing they need help.

Alcohol addiction is a chronic disease that affects how the brain processes reward, impulse control, and decision making. Over time, this can make it increasingly difficult to stop drinking without structured support.

At Ohio Community Health Recovery Centers, our alcohol addiction treatment programs focus on helping individuals understand the patterns behind alcohol use while building the skills and stability needed for long-term recovery through evidence-based therapy and structured outpatient care.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction can involve substances such as cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl, or prescription medications. These substances can quickly affect physical health, mental well-being, and daily functioning.

Substance use disorders are considered chronic, relapsing conditions characterized by compulsive drug use despite harmful consequences. Without treatment, addiction often continues to escalate over time.

Our drug addiction treatment programs in Cincinnati focus on stabilization, behavioral therapy, and helping individuals address the underlying factors that contribute to substance use so they can rebuild healthy routines and long-term recovery.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid addiction has become one of the most serious public health challenges in the United States, and Ohio has been heavily impacted by the opioid crisis. Opioids include prescription pain medications such as oxycodone and hydrocodone as well as illicit drugs like heroin and fentanyl.

Opioid use disorder changes brain chemistry and can lead to intense cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and ongoing physical dependence.

Ohio Community Health provides evidence-based opioid addiction treatment that may include behavioral therapy, structured outpatient programming, and medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate to help individuals stabilize and begin the recovery process.

Dual Diagnosis

Many individuals struggling with addiction also experience mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. This is known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders.

Mental health symptoms and substance use often influence each other. Some individuals use drugs or alcohol to cope with emotional distress, while others develop mental health challenges as a result of prolonged substance use.

Our dual diagnosis treatment approach addresses both addiction and mental health together, helping individuals stabilize symptoms while developing the tools needed for long-term recovery.

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.
