Cornell Abraxas Group LLC

Trauma-Informed, Structured Treatment

Abraxas Ohio provides residential and outpatient substance use and behavioral health treatment in a safe, structured environment for adolescents and adults. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices, programs emphasize accountability, emotional regulation, and long-term recovery. The trauma-informed Sanctuary® Model underpins all care, ensuring clients feel physically and emotionally secure while learning new coping and relationship skills.

Integrated Education and Skill Building

Youth in residential programs attend a fully accredited, on-site school that allows them to earn transferable credits, pursue a diploma or GED, and access special education services. Life-skills and vocational training prepare students for independence through courses in financial literacy, communication, and daily living. The facility’s structured academic and therapeutic integration helps clients maintain educational progress while focusing on recovery.

Specialized Tracks and Therapeutic Supports

Beyond standard substance use programming, Abraxas Ohio offers targeted tracks for behavioral health treatment for youth and an Emergency Placement Unit for short-term stabilization and assessment. Licensed clinicians provide psychiatric, psychological, and medical care, with case management and family therapy to support individualized progress. Clients also benefit from holistic elements like equine-assisted therapy, recreation, and animal-assisted activities that build confidence and emotional awareness.

Family Engagement and Lasting Support

Family participation is woven into the program through counseling, structured visits, and discharge coordination. Reentry planning begins at admission, focusing on relapse prevention and gradual reintegration via community passes. Aftercare extends for six months post-discharge to ensure continuity of care. Community-based outpatient services in Richland County and partnerships with schools, courts, and local agencies help clients and families sustain stability and connection after treatment.
