Leora's Columbus facility at 5432 N High St offers ambulatory detox: medically supervised withdrawal management that you attend as an outpatient. You come to the building for assessment and monitoring, and you spend your nights at home. It is meant for withdrawal that is expected to stay mild to moderate, and not everyone is a candidate.

Your First Appointment

Before anything starts, a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse meet with you in Columbus. They go over your medical history, the medications you take now, your general health, what you have been using and any mental health condition that comes with it. The question they are answering is whether withdrawal can be managed safely while you live at home. A stable place to stay and someone nearby who can help both count toward a yes.

If the answer is no, they tell you why and which kind of care fits instead.

When Outpatient Detox Is Not Enough

Worth knowing

Severe withdrawal, particularly from alcohol or benzodiazepines, can cause seizures. It needs round-the-clock medical supervision in an inpatient program, which Leora does not run. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

Medication During Detox

Where it helps, medication assisted treatment is used to take the edge off withdrawal and cravings. FDA approved medications exist for both alcohol and opioid use disorder. A medication started during detox in Columbus can carry on into the program you move to next.

Straight into the Next Program

Detox handles the physical side of stopping, and the treatment that follows handles the rest. In Columbus that next step is in the same building: partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient or outpatient, depending on what the team recommends, without changing provider or starting over with a new team.

Getting Assessed

Call (614) 665-8878. You do not need to know whether you qualify before you call. Leora accepts Medicaid and all major commercial insurance, and you can check your coverage first. If Dayton is closer, the same detox runs at 948 Patterson Rd.
