We understand that the stigma around addiction and addiction treatment may prevent you from seeking treatment and support for an alcohol or substance use disorder. For decades, social norms taught us that people with addiction problems lacked willpower, had a character flaw, lacked morals, or simply made poor decisions. That stigma extended to treatment, too: our social norms turned the act of seeking treatment into a sign of weakness. At The Ridge Ohio, we see your desire to seek treatment as a sign of strength. We see the decision to enter treatment as a sign of wisdom. Our medical Detox Center in Ohio is in the process of discontinuing the use of a substance or medication. The term "medical detox" has been used to describe the treatment of drug addiction and withdrawal symptoms. We believe that with the right combination of treatment and support, a life without alcohol and drugs is within your reach – and we want you to believe that too.
