What are Emergency Department Services?
Through Summa Health’s emergency rooms throughout the region, we can offer emergency addiction and psychiatric care, 24/7. In fact, our First Step program is one of Ohio’s only 24/7 walk-in program for addiction treatment.
Our Services
The First Step addiction program initiates addiction treatment right in the ED – 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

People experience mental health crises 24/7; you never know when care may be needed. In times of crisis, the search for help for patients and their loved ones may feel overwhelming. You are not alone. Summa Health offers a continuum of care for patients to access mental health care and resources before, during and after a crisis. The emergency department plays a significant role as an immediate resource for patients whose mental health needs are quickly escalating – especially when planned appointments are scheduled too far in advance. Help is available 24/7 from trained professionals.
