Overdose in Pickaway County: A Smaller County With a Serious Toll

Pickaway County’s numbers are smaller than those of its neighbors, but the trend over the past decade is still clear. According to the Ohio Department of Health, 8 Pickaway County residents died of unintentional drug overdoses in 2014. That rose to 31 in 2020, dropped to 20 in 2021, rose to 31 again in 2022, and fell to 19 in 2023, the most recent year in ODH’s annual county report. The county’s 2023 age-adjusted rate was 30.3 per 100,000, compared with 39.0 statewide. Year-to-year swings like these are common in smaller counties. That is one reason local health officials have focused on keeping naloxone widely available. Statewide data is on our Ohio overdose statistics page.

How Pickaway County Is Responding

Pickaway County Public Health has built an overdose response that residents can use whether or not they are in treatment:

  • Pickaway Overdose Response Team (PORT). Launched in 2025, PORT brings together Pickaway County Public Health, law enforcement, EMS, recovery agencies and community organizations. It follows up with overdose survivors and connects them to treatment referrals, overdose education and support with health care, housing, employment and family needs. Reach PORT through Pickaway County Public Health at (740) 477-9667.
  • Naloxone boxes. Through PORT, the health department has placed four “Barney Boxes” in high-traffic community areas and five stainless-steel “Mental Health Boxes” built for year-round outdoor access. Each box holds naloxone and educational materials.
  • Harm reduction services. Pickaway County Public Health, at 110 Island Road, Suite C, Circleville, distributes naloxone and fentanyl test strips and makes treatment referrals. Call (740) 477-9667.

These services help keep people alive. Treatment is what addresses the addiction itself. For many Pickaway County families, the practical question is which level of care fits.

Levels of Care at The Recovery Village Columbus

Based on the facility’s program pages, here is how the levels differ:

  • Medical detox provides 24-hour monitoring in private rooms. Its length depends on the substance and your health.
  • Residential rehab typically lasts 28 to 30 days after detox and includes room and board, individual and group therapy, and 24/7 medical monitoring.
  • Partial hospitalization provides 18 to 20 hours of treatment a week, spread over five to seven days.
  • Intensive outpatient requires at least nine hours of in-person therapy a week and can be scheduled around work. The facility does not provide transportation.
  • Medication-assisted treatment is offered as medically appropriate.

The facility also treats co-occurring mental health conditions. NIAAA notes that detox alone does not treat alcohol use disorder, and that continued residential or outpatient care is often needed. Because Circleville is fairly close to Groveport, some Pickaway County residents can realistically commute for PHP or IOP after finishing residential care.

Getting From Circleville to Groveport

The facility is at 3964 Hamilton Square Blvd, Groveport, OH 43125, southeast of Columbus. From Circleville, the trip north is usually around 30 minutes. That distance is short enough for family to join admission and discharge planning, and far enough that a person in residential care is out of their usual surroundings. Before you leave, keep these points in mind:

  • Call admissions first so staff can check your insurance and medical needs.
  • The facility’s walk-in page notes that usually only one piece of luggage is accepted.
  • If you drink heavily every day, do not quit suddenly on your own the night before. Tell admissions how much you have been drinking so the medical team can plan for withdrawal.

Insurance

The facility is in network with plans including Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Medical Mutual of Ohio, UBH/Optum and the VA Community Care Network. You can verify your coverage online before calling.
