Alcohol, Opioid, Heroin, Drug Treatment, and More

 

Do you or someone you love have a substance use disorder?

 

If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help. Online resources can be overwhelming, and insurance and waiting lists can be frustrating.

 

Summa Health continues to be an innovation leader in addiction medicine. Through our First Step program, Summa Health offers one of Ohio’s only 24/7 walk-in program for addiction treatment. The First Step addiction program initiates addiction treatment right in the emergency room, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at each of Summa Health’s emergency departments. The First Step program was developed through a partnership with the United Way of Summit County and other community agencies. In a single visit, we treat symptoms and ease cravings, as well as provide onsite care coordination to ensure that a patient doesn’t leave our hospital without the next treatment option in place. This program offers an addiction care coordinator as well as on-call “recovery coaches” that support and guide patients to resources throughout the community and help remove barriers to sobriety such as transportation, child care and sober housing. Services may vary with each case, from accompanying patients to appointments to reaching out to family members. 

 

If you or a loved one is ready to start treatment, visit our First Step program at a location near you. Our doors are always open.
