Your Path to Recovery Starts Here
Lighthouse Behavioral Health Admissions is the first step on the road to recovery; and often the hardest. Reaching out means facing real uncertainty: what treatment costs, whether insurance will help, and what happens once you make the call.
Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or a loved one, our admissions team is here to make the process simple, supportive, and stress-free. We’ll work through each of those questions with you, verify your coverage, and match you with the right level of care. All you have to do is pick up the phone.

For the complete walkthrough, from that first call through orientation, see our admissions process guide.
Understanding the Cost of Treatment
Cost and insurance are two of the biggest reasons people put off calling. Lighthouse works with a range of insurance providers, and our admissions team verifies your benefits before you arrive, so you know what to expect before you commit to anything. If you’re uninsured or your coverage is limited, our team can talk through your options with you.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) also runs a free, confidential national helpline and treatment locator for anyone comparing options or researching lower-cost care.
Finding the right level of care
Not everyone needs the same starting point. Depending on what your assessment shows, your plan might include:
- Residential Withdrawal Management
- Partial Hospitalization Program
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment
- Medication-Assisted Treatment
- Peer Support (Voyage)
- Comprehensive Mental Health Services
- Recovery Housing
These treatments are often provided alongside mental health care for co-occurring conditions. Your admissions specialist will discuss which combination fits your situation before you arrive.
Admissions FAQs
Can I be in treatment with my family member or partner?
We understand the importance of family support. Placement depends on clinical assessments and program availability.
Can I leave and return during treatment?
Leaving the facility during the early stages of treatment can disrupt recovery progress. Your clinical team will work with you to address any needs while maintaining treatment continuity.
Can I take a cigarette break?
Designated smoking areas are available at select facilities. Speak with admissions to confirm location-specific policies.
Do I need to pack for the entire stay?
Yes. Bring essentials for your full treatment duration. If you need additional items, arrangements can often be made with staff assistance.
How long does rehab in Columbus, Ohio typically last?
Treatment lengths vary depending on individual needs, program type, and recovery goals. Our team will create a plan that works best for you.
What types of substance abuse treatment are offered in Columbus?
We provide residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), and medication-assisted treatment, all tailored to each patient.
Do you accept insurance for Columbus Ohio addiction treatment?
Yes, we work with a variety of insurance providers. Our admissions team can help verify coverage before your stay.
Is detox required before entering treatment?
Depending on your substance use history, a medically supervised detox may be recommended to ensure safety and comfort during early recovery.
Can I get help for co-occurring mental health conditions?
Absolutely. Lighthouse integrates mental health care with addiction treatment to provide comprehensive support for lasting recovery.
What makes Lighthouse different from other rehab centers in Columbus?
Our combination of personalized care plans, evidence-based treatment, recovery housing, and compassionate staff sets us apart, ensuring every client receives holistic support.
Will my insurance cover treatment at Lighthouse?
Our admissions team verifies your insurance benefits before you arrive, so you aren’t guessing at costs once treatment begins. Coverage details vary by plan, which is why verification happens as part of the admissions process.
What if I don’t have insurance or can’t afford treatment?
Our admissions specialists can talk through options with you directly. SAMHSA also maintains a free national helpline (1-800-662-HELP) and treatment locator for anyone weighing lower-cost or no-cost care.
How do I know which treatment program is right for me?
That’s what the pre-admission screening is for. A clinician reviews your medical history, substance use history, and treatment goals, then recommends the level of care – residential, PHP, IOP, or MAT – that fits, including care for any co-occurring mental health conditions.
Can I call on behalf of a family member or loved one who needs help?
Yes. Family members and loved ones are encouraged to contact our admissions line. We can share information about our programs and how to support someone who needs treatment. The individual will still need to consent to their own admission. NAMI’s HelpLine also has guidance for supporting a loved one with a co-occurring substance use and mental health condition.
Are the same treatment options available at every Lighthouse location?
Programming varies somewhat by site. During your pre-admission screening, your specialist confirms which programs and levels of care are available at the location that fits your needs and can help arrange placement at the right one.
