About Addiction Services Council

Addiction Services Council (ASC) is a nonprofit community-based organization that helps people affected by substance use and related disorders. ASC believes these problems are illnesses that can be treated, and recovery is possible for individuals and families. For over 70 years, ASC has offered support and programs to people in Cincinnati and nearby areas to help them live healthier lives.
ASC works to build a community free from drug and alcohol abuse. They provide services to reduce stigma and offer prevention, assessment, treatment, education, and advocacy. These services include crisis help, counseling for individuals and families, group therapy, workplace training, school programs, and peer support from people who have recovered.
ASC runs the Recovery Health Access Center (RHAC), a 24/7 helpline with trained staff to help people find support anytime. They connect clients to local treatment providers and offer case management to coordinate care. Other services include drug testing, addiction education, and community outreach. ASC helps individuals and families move toward healthier, more stable lives.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Addiction Services Council provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Addiction Services Council offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 7 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Addiction Services Council works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
