Treatment for Fentanyl Addiction in Columbus, OH

The Lighthouse Approach to Fentanyl Rehab

Recovery is not a single event. It’s a journey, and no two journeys look the same. That’s why our approach to fentanyl rehab is built around you. From the moment you walk through our doors, our licensed clinical team works with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that considers your substance use history, mental health needs, and personal goals.

Many people struggling with fentanyl addiction also live with co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our dual-diagnosis programming addresses both simultaneously, because treating one without the other rarely leads to lasting recovery. At Lighthouse, we combine evidence-based clinical care with genuine compassion because we believe you deserve both.

The Fentanyl Treatment Continuum at Lighthouse

Recovery from fentanyl addiction requires a structured, supported path forward. Lighthouse offers a full continuum of care to meet clients at their level of need and walk with them every step of the way.

Medically Supervised Fentanyl Detox

Fentanyl detox is almost always the first step. Because fentanyl is one of the most potent opioids available, withdrawal can be physically and emotionally intense, and attempting to detox without medical support can be dangerous. Our Residential Withdrawal Management program provides 24/7 nursing and clinical supervision, continuous vitals monitoring, and medications to help ease withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. From the moment you arrive, our team is with you.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

After detox, many clients transition into our Partial Hospitalization Program, for individuals with less sobriety time and significant challenges with substance use disorder and mental health. Our PHP requires 20+ hours of weekly group counseling and includes nursing services, psychiatric evaluation and medication management, medication-assisted treatment (when appropriate), case management, and peer support. It’s an important bridge between detox and greater independence, with clients returning to a supportive home or recovery residence each evening.

Outpatient Rehab

As clients build stability, our Outpatient Rehab program offers a step-down structure that grows with them. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) begins at 5 days per week, transitioning to 4 and then 3 days per week, providing 9 to 19 hours of structured programming weekly. This phase includes individual and group counseling, case management, MAT, and specialized groups addressing trauma, mental health, and life skills, all designed to fit around work, family, and everyday responsibilities. Clients who complete IOP may continue into our Outpatient Program (OP) for ongoing support and accountability as they step fully into independent recovery.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment is a proven, evidence-based approach that uses FDA-approved medications, including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), Vivitrol, and naltrexone, to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and lower the risk of relapse. At Lighthouse, MAT is fully personalized and integrated across the continuum of care, from detox through outpatient, as a tool that helps clients stay safe, stable, and engaged in their recovery.

What To Expect During Fentanyl Detox

Walking into detox for the first time can feel overwhelming. Knowing what to expect can make a real difference.

When you arrive at Lighthouse, your clinical team will conduct a thorough intake assessment, reviewing your substance use history, medical background, and any mental health concerns, to build a personalized detox plan before your first night. From there, our nursing staff monitors your health around the clock, adjusting your care as your symptoms evolve. When appropriate, medications are used to reduce discomfort and keep you safe. Licensed clinicians are available to address any psychological needs that arise along the way.

As you stabilize, your care team will begin planning your next step, whether that’s PHP, IOP, or another level of care, so that when detox ends, your recovery doesn’t.
