The Bluffs

On an 80-acre scenic woodland campus, The Bluffs combines proven, evidence-based treatment modalities with soul-nurturing holistic therapies to treat addiction. They craft treatment uniquely suited to client-specific needs, addressing co-occurring disorders like depression, anxiety, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They strive to treat the whole person instead of just solely treating symptoms, creating lasting healing.
The Bluffs’ medically-supervised detox in Ohio addresses the physical and mental symptoms of alcohol and drug withdrawal. Their highly-trained staff work closely with each client and their individual needs. Detox provides a structured withdrawal under the close supervision of their medical team, providing emotional support as needed. They offer medication-assisted treatment for alcohol, opioids, and more. Clients can find a safe and stable environment away from triggers to learn skills needed to find lasting sobriety.
The Bluffs offers residential care for 28–34 days. Their treatment team consists of masters-level social workers (MSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs), and psychiatrists. Clients engage in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in individual and group settings. To heal underlying mental health concerns, The Bluffs offers eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and emotional freedom technique therapy (EFT). Their program is rooted in 12-Step philosophy. Family therapy includes building communication skills, working through past trauma, and integrating lifelong techniques into client’s aftercare planning.
The Bluffs uses holistic modalities like yoga, music therapy, massage, and meditation to heal the spirit in recovery. Its countryside campus features private or shared rooms, an indoor pool, a fitness center, a music therapy space, lake views, and walking trails. Chef-prepared meals can accommodate clients' dietary preferences. The Bluffs also provides specialized treatment programs for veterans, expectant mothers, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

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

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.

The Bluffs offers 3 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 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral 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. The Bluffs works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
