The Recovery Village Columbus Drug & Alcohol Rehab

A Campus Designed for Structure and Healing

The Recovery Village Columbus campus offers two gyms, yoga spaces, a volleyball and pickleball court, an art studio, a computer lab, a fire pit, and designated smoking areas. Dual diagnosis care is a focused priority for clients who experience co-occurring conditions along with substance use. Holistic therapies including mindfulness practice and art therapy are offered to help clients find a sense of calm and promote healing through self-expression. Nutritional counseling is available to encourage positive eating habits for lifelong health.

Specialized Support for Veterans, First Responders, and Trauma Survivors

The center provides targeted programs for veterans, active-duty military members, first responders, and individuals who have experienced sexual abuse or domestic violence. Dedicated spaces like the Fortitude Lounge provide community and understanding for those with military or service backgrounds. Trauma-informed therapies aim to support healing from emotional wounds that often accompany substance use.

Evidence-Based Care with Peer Support

The Recovery Village Columbus offers evidence-based treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), with a focus on trauma-related care. Both CBT and DBT aim to address the root causes of substance use and other self-destructive behaviors. Once the causes are identified, clients can focus on finding solutions and ways to amend destructive behaviors toward a positive path. Programs are non-religious, and 12-step facilitation is available but optional. Many staff members are in recovery themselves, helping to create an empathetic, supportive environment for individuals receiving care.

Building Skills for Life Beyond Treatment

Clients receive detailed aftercare planning tailored to their personal goals, with a focus on building emotional resilience, relapse prevention strategies, and sustainable life skills. Services include recovery coaching, overdose prevention education, mentoring, and employment counseling to support career re-entry and social reintegration. Graduates are invited to join a structured alumni program offering ongoing support through regular in-person events, digital connection groups, and periodic recovery check-ins. The alumni network fosters community, accountability, and encouragement, helping individuals maintain stability, rebuild meaningful lives, and strengthen their recovery over time.
