The Ridge Outpatient Columbus Highlights Comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program and Specialized Care in Westerville

Nov 2, 2026

Ridge Outpatient Columbus delivers flexible, evidence-based outpatient addiction treatment and dual-diagnosis care to help adults maintain daily commitments while achieving long-term recovery.

-- The Ridge Outpatient Columbus provides comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment services to individuals and families throughout Greater Columbus and Central Ohio. Located in Westerville, the center offers a Columbus intensive outpatient program, partial hospitalization services, and specialized treatment for adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions.

The Ridge Outpatient Columbus runs a partial hospitalization program and an intensive outpatient program at 470 Olde Worthington Road in Westerville. Both are for adults who need structured clinical treatment but can continue living at home and, in most cases, keep working. Clients attend during the day and go home each evening.

Serving residents in Columbus, Westerville, Worthington, Powell, Lewis Center, New Albany, and surrounding Central Ohio communities, the program offers structured clinical support for adults recovering from drug and alcohol addiction while addressing co-occurring mental health conditions. This structured outpatient service is designed for individuals who require comprehensive professional care while continuing to live at home.

The Ridge Outpatient Columbus offers four distinct levels of care: Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), regular outpatient counseling, and ongoing aftercare support. Through its connection to The Ridge Ohio residential campus, patients can access medical detox and inpatient care.

“The Ridge Columbus intensive outpatient program offers patients a chance to live active daily lives, balancing clinical schedules with professional commitments, family responsibilities, and personal routines. Rather than relying on standardized treatment templates, our clinical plans address individual physical and psychological needs,” said Chief Executive Officer Stacy Klousiadis, M.Ed., LICDC.

Care teams treat substance use disorders involving alcohol, opioids, cocaine, methamphetamine, and other substances along with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma. Teams are trained in evidence-based treatment methodologies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), group work, individual therapy, family counseling, and physician-supervised medication management.

The Columbus intensive outpatient program maintains a direct connection to higher levels of care through The Ridge’s residential campus in the Cincinnati area. As an established addiction treatment center, it works directly with professionals, parents, families, local physicians, therapists, and regional healthcare institutions to facilitate referrals and ongoing patient care coordination.

To determine which programs patients fit into, a full evaluation is conducted, including a biopsychosocial assessment covering medical, substance use, psychiatric, and family history. Clinicians continue to observe how patients respond to treatment and engage with peers and counselors, adapting plans and reinforcing what works as patients progress.

The Partial Hospitalization Program runs from Monday to Friday, with patients returning home each evening. As they improve and move on to the IOP, patients attend three to five three-hour sessions a week. As patients progress and stabilize, they may attend only a weekly Outpatient Counseling session and thereafter receive continuing support and access to the alumni community after discharge.

Through its connection to The Ridge's residential campus, Ridge Outpatient Columbus helps patients access higher levels of care when needed, including medical detoxification and inpatient treatment, before transitioning to outpatient programming in Westerville. Offering Partial Hospitalization Programs, Intensive Outpatient Programs, outpatient counseling, and aftercare, the program provides a comprehensive care structure that supports patients through changing stages of recovery without disrupting clinical oversight.
