<p><strong>ABOUT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER - TALBOT ADDICTION MEDICINE</strong></p> <p>Since 1974, Talbot Addiction Medicine at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has offered adult men and women <strong>comprehensive care for substance use disorder</strong>. Located at the University's Hospital East campus in downtown Columbus, the facility is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">one of four state government facilities</a> to provide substance abuse rehab services. It provides <strong>outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs</strong>, along with <strong>residential detox</strong> services and <strong>medication-assisted treatment</strong> (MAT).</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Talbot is a part of a major hospital and has a wide range of medical resources at its disposal. The treatment process uses a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying needs of each client. Then, a team of specialists develops a treatment plan that is unique to each client. </p> <p>The facility uses state-of-the-art clinical techniques with tested, <strong>evidence-based practices</strong>. Clients often start the process in the residential detox program where they begin medication-assisted therapy (MAT). Only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">10.7 percent of rehab clients in Ohio</a> go through MAT therapy each year. This therapy helps clients focus on recovery by reducing the impact of withdrawal symptoms. Clients also begin the <strong>12-Step</strong> program. </p> <p>The facility's <strong>partial hospitalization program</strong> (PHP) provides five hours of treatment a day, while the <strong>intensive outpatient program</strong> (IOP) meets three times a week for three-hour sessions, either in the mornings or evenings. Both programs involve group therapy, individual counseling, and <strong>family programming</strong>, as well as 12-Step facilitation. Family therapy is an important component as it builds a support network for clients. </p> <p>Talbot uses some of the latest technologies in treatment. These include a new app created by Ohio State staff and students. It is designed to help clients control cravings and address other common issues so that they can continue the treatment process uninterrupted. It also makes connecting with each client’s support network easier since it can reach out to them with just one button push. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment team includes <strong>medical doctors</strong>, nurse practitioners, psychiatrists, licensed social workers, licensed professional counselors, and <strong>licensed chemical dependency counselors</strong>. The facility is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">one of 101 facilities in the state</a> that are certified by the Joint Commission, as well as the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">66 percent of facilities</a> that are accredited by the Ohio Department of Mental Health.

Many of these topics, like chronic pain and conditions, are often overlooked by the community and can be a serious issue for many community members. The facility also contributes to the local community by being a part of the continuing sports rivalry between Michigan State and Ohio State in created and playful ways while still educating the community. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Ohio+State+University+Wexner+Medical+Center+-+Talbot+Addiction+Medicine+in+Columbus,+OH&rlz=1C1OPRA_enUS578US578&ei=UOXxW7CxOM6UsgWQ4JmQCQ&start=0&sa=N&ved=0ahUKEwiwmdjK_N7eAhVOiqwKHRBwBpI4HhDy0wMIZw&biw=1046&bih=1022#lrd=0x883888e2f0de446d:0x3ae935c564bfab73,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/osu-addiction-medicine-at-talbot-hall-columbus" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/osu-addiction-medicine-at-talbot-hall-columbus</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Osu-Addiction-Medicine-at-Talbot-Hall/1470898326554239" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Osu-Addiction-Medicine-at-Talbot-Hall/1470898326554239</a></small></p>
