About New Directions Cleveland

Located in Northeast Ohio, New Directions is a nonprofit that offers outpatient and gender-specific residential treatment for adolescents, young adults, and families facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Their mission is to provide hope, healing, and healthcare through a full continuum of care—including assessment, crisis support, therapeutic living, and intensive programs guided by ASAM levels of care.
Treatment combines evidence-based practices and holistic support. Therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma therapy, motivational enhancement, family systems work, and strengths-based approaches. Clients also receive psychiatric assessments, medication management, parent education, and case management. Programs aim to help individuals understand the effects of substance use, build coping skills, and strengthen family and community connections.
Residents live in structured, therapeutic homes designed for safety, stability, and healing. The Nancy Hanna House serves female clients in recovery housing with extended care support. Services are tailored to meet each individual’s goals, including school completion, job readiness, and lasting sobriety. Financial assistance is available through Prosper Healthcare Lending, and same-day assessments are offered.

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 New Directions Cleveland provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
