First Step Recovery
About: First Step Recovery honors all paths to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by taking a holistic, patient-centered approach to care. We understand that recovery is a team effort yet, ultimately, an inside job. How do we know this? Because many of our staff are successfully in recovery themselves. That’s why we can say with confidence that we’re not going to heal you, but we’ll be with you every step of the way to help you heal yourself. As a leading drug and alcohol addiction center in northeastern Ohio and one of the tops in the state, First Step Recovery is here to be a constant beacon of light and healing for patients, families and communities affected by the disease of addiction. Through our affiliation with Travco Behavioral Health, our services also encompass treatment for individuals of all ages who are struggling with mental health disorders, as well as addiction (which are often co-occurring). Travco’s evidence-based services include medicine-assisted treatment for substance dependence. Patients come to us through self-referral, family / friend referral and doctor / professional recommendation.
Services: Our integrated approach combines personalized medical, behavioral, clinical and holistic therapies that are proven to work. You are never “on your own.” We see to it.
Upon review by a board-certified physician, you’ll begin your return to wellness with treatment that includes medications for withdrawal relief. These are gently tapered daily to support your symptoms. Our techniques are safe, medically accredited and evidence based. We promise you’ll be comfortable and monitored the entire time. As you work alongside our medical team and compassionate staff, and move into extended care, you’ll be given down time to settle into your new life direction and self-reflect. As you recover, you’ll build your spirit and stamina by taking advantage of our modern gym, dining facilities with nutritious food, or just relaxing in your semi-private room watching TV. You may even make a few new friends and have a little fun. As the days progress, you’ll be given opportunities to talk honestly about what’s been going on and how you feel, and to experience community by meeting people with the same struggle. Through individualized counseling and group therapy with licensed counselors, you’ll be expertly guided as you explore the thoughts, behaviors and motivations behind your addiction. If family counseling is appropriate, you’ll identify enabling patterns and be set free from them through support strategies. We have gender-specific group therapy and, of course, 12-Step recovery meetings. If appropriate, you will successfully progress to outpatient treatment, which features ongoing support into a substance-free lifestyle. We’ll even help you with things like prepping for a job interview or getting your driver’s license through our Peer Support Program.
