Mental Health Treatment Programs in Ohio

Leora Behavioral Health provides outpatient mental health treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and bipolar disorder. These are treated in their own right, and you do not need a substance use problem to be seen. There are no beds and no overnight care.

In-person mental health services run at Leora's two facilities, in Columbus and Dayton. Virtual IOP is available anywhere else in Ohio. Leora is accredited by CARF and accepts all major commercial insurance and Medicaid.

Each condition has its own page covering how treatment works here.

• Depression, including major depressive disorder and persistent depressive disorder
• Anxiety disorders, where worry or panic interferes with work or sleep
• Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), treated whether or not substance use is also present
• Bipolar disorder, with mood medication managed alongside therapy

Individual therapy and mental health counseling run alongside group sessions. The clinical staff hold LCDCIII, LICDC, LSW, LISW, LPC and LPCC credentials.

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): checking the conclusions depression and anxiety draw against what actually happened, and practicing new responses between sessions
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): skills for intense emotions and for relationships under strain
• Motivational interviewing (MI): working through mixed feelings about change
• Individual therapy: a session with your therapist every week in partial hospitalization, 1 to 2 sessions alongside group in intensive outpatient, continuing at the outpatient level
• Group therapy: most of the scheduled hours from partial hospitalization down to outpatient, led by licensed clinicians
• Family therapy: sessions that include the people you live with or rely on
• Case management: a service covering the practical side of treatment, and coordination with your other providers

Medication management is with a nurse practitioner: at least once a week in partial hospitalization, and every 2 to 3 weeks in intensive outpatient and outpatient. Medication sits on the same treatment plan as your therapy, so the prescriber and the therapist work toward the same goals. If you already take medication, bring a list of it to your assessment.

How long each level lasts depends on your needs and your progress toward your treatment goals. The assessment sets where you start.

When substance use and a mental health condition are both present, the co-occurring program treats them together on one plan. This is sometimes called dual diagnosis treatment. If alcohol or drug use is the main problem, the addiction treatment program starts there, with ambulatory detox where withdrawal needs managing.

You do not need a diagnosis before you call. The assessment reviews your symptoms and your history, and it sets the level of care. Call Columbus at (614) 665-8878 or Dayton at (937) 660-4145.
