Fairfield County’s Overdose Trend Over a Decade

The Ohio Department of Health’s county table shows how much the problem grew in Fairfield County. The table counts unintentional drug overdose deaths by county of residence. In 2014, 15 Fairfield County residents died. By 2017 the number was 43. It then climbed to 54 in 2020 and 60 in 2021, before easing to 58 in 2022 and 51 in 2023, the latest year in ODH’s annual county report. The county’s 2023 age-adjusted rate was 31.6 per 100,000, below the statewide rate of 39.0. Even so, overdose deaths in 2023 were more than three times the 2014 level. For more statewide data, see our Ohio overdose statistics page.

Choosing the Right Level of Care

Rehab is not one program. It is a set of levels of care, and many people move through several of them. Here is how the levels at The Recovery Village Columbus differ, based on the facility’s own program pages. We also note how each one fits a Fairfield County resident’s daily life.

Medical detox

Medical detox provides 24-hour monitoring while the body clears alcohol or drugs. Its length depends on the substance and your health. NIAAA notes that detox alone does not constitute treatment for alcohol use disorder, so detox is usually followed by one of the levels below.

Residential rehabilitation

Residential rehab typically lasts 28 to 30 days after detox and includes room and board, individual and group therapy, and 24/7 medical monitoring. It suits people who need distance from home routines. The facility says most clients complete detox, inpatient rehab and PHP/IOP in 50 to 60 days.

Partial hospitalization (PHP)

PHP involves 18 to 20 hours of treatment a week, spread over five to seven days. It is a step down from inpatient care.

Intensive outpatient (IOP)

IOP involves at least nine hours of therapy a week, and it can be scheduled around work. Most people complete it in one to three months. Sessions are in person in Groveport, and the facility does not provide transportation. For residents of Lancaster or other parts of the county, a reliable ride on US-33 is part of the plan.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)

MAT is offered as medically appropriate. According to MedlinePlus, medications such as methadone and buprenorphine can ease opioid withdrawal, and naltrexone can help prevent relapse. MAT pairs these medications with counseling.

The facility also treats co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, alongside addiction.

Paying for Rehab

The Recovery Village Columbus is in network with plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, First Health, Humana and Medical Mutual of Ohio. You can verify your benefits online before you call. The admissions page explains the next steps.

Fairfield County Resources That Work Alongside Treatment

Treatment in Groveport is more effective when it is connected to support back home. These Fairfield County services are worth knowing:

  • Fairfield County ADAMH Board. The board is at 108 W. Main St., Suite A, Lancaster (740-654-0829). It lists a crisis hotline at 740-687-8255, and you can also text “4hope” to 741741. Its provider list includes The Recovery Center for substance use assessment and counseling, and OhioGuidestone for medication-assisted treatment. These can be useful for continuing care after discharge.
  • Project F.O.R.T. (Fairfield County Overdose Response Team). This county pre-arrest diversion team meets with people within 24 to 72 hours after a nonfatal overdose. It connects them to detox, treatment and recovery resources outside the criminal justice system, and it supports families. Call 740-901-1598 or email [email protected].
  • Fairfield County Health Department. The health department provides naloxone, overdose-prevention training and fentanyl and xylazine test strips. Call 740-652-2851, Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–4 p.m.
  • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988, 24/7. It covers alcohol and drug concerns as well as mental health.

When Addiction and Mental Health Overlap

Many people who seek rehab are also dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma or another mental health condition. The Recovery Village Columbus treats these co-occurring conditions during detox, residential care and outpatient programs. Once treatment ends, the Fairfield County ADAMH Board’s network also lists local mental health options. Mid-Ohio Psychological Services offers diagnostic assessment, counseling and case management. Fairfield Center of Hope provides self-help, advocacy and education for people recovering from severe mental illness. The board lists its crisis line, 740-687-8255, through Fairfield County 2-1-1, so that number can also connect residents with local information and referral.
