Top-Notch Clinical Services with keeping that "Family" feel...
With our team you are not just a number, and we look at the entire picture. We offer Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Outpatient including Therapy. For our Wrap Around Services, we have Case Management, Peer Support, Community Service Associates, and a Residential staff that is all trained to communicate and assist in a professional but family-oriented nature.
We understand that a lot of times entering into the "Recovery Phase" can feel very scary and lonely and we are here to keep that from happening.
You are not alone.
Treatment Through The Phases
Once stabilized, you will be offered the appropriate services that meet your individual needs. We work through the different phase of recovery with you also utilizing a phase system ourselves.
(Entry) Phase One –
Duration is two to six weeks (Generally). The goal is to focus ninety days of intense clinical programming on clinical care in the following phases in the areas that surround life skills and ASAM criteria for functional living and longevity. This phase preps that residents for the proceeding phases.
During this Phase the resident will follow all the House Rules as described including being accountable for curfew. We usually set up services when they come in during the first phase so overnight passes are not allowed in the first month of this phase. Until the participant has what is considered full-time employment, they will be required to attend four IOP groups per week (if clinically appropriate). They will be required to meet with a therapist once per week individually. The client will be required to attend two outside 12 step meetings in person and meet with their sponsor.
(Building) Phase 2 –
If the client is compliant with counseling, medication management (if appropriate), sponsorship, fellowship and step work, and has gotten a job (See phase one details), then they will step down to three IOP groups per week instead of the four (if clinically appropriate).
This phase is generally six to eight weeks. During this phase they are building their lives and working through the steps. The participants should be working in this phase and attending three IOP groups per week. The participants will be meeting with their therapist once per week for an individual session. At this point, the participants should have a home group, be meeting with their sponsor regularly, and be attending two outside 12 step meetings per week in person. At this point they are receiving pay for working and have a responsibility to pay for housing and catch up on any back housing fees that may be due.
(Living) Phase Three –
Once they are compliant with all therapy, groups, meetings, sponsor, working and caught up on any past due fees to the house (See phase 2 details), they will be allowed one-two night overnight passes, as long as appropriate. During this phase they may be able to have visitation with their kids on-site, decided upon case by case.
This is the phase where they will start to consider what is next. The participants will continue their compliance and be receiving additional seniority privileges such as overnight passes. If clinically appropriate the participant may move into bi-weekly individual sessions with their therapist. At this point the house managers and case managers will begin looking at whether step down housing or a to-home transition is safest for the client and their wishes. We will be building relapse prevention plans. This phase usually comes after roughly six to eight weeks.
(Moving On) Phase Four –
If the participant is compliant with all the rules, and policies as well as with their therapist, meetings, sponsor, rent, and job status (See phase three requirements), then they may be moved into outpatient (OP) status (if clinically appropriate).

For years I struggled with alcoholism and addiction and felt as if I didn’t belong. I tried long term treatment, short term treatment, and detox centers. In October of 2023 I was broken, scared, lonely and running out of options and a friend led me to Malta / ORHC.
They broke the mold! It is nothing like a lot of these other cookie cutter sober living homes, we are a family. Program Directors tailor each of our treatment plans to our individual needs, because in recovery we are all different and what works well for one isn’t for all, and ORHC addresses that 110%. This is a safe space for communication, growth, fear, and success, and we don’t go through anything alone. We have family dinners, meetings and even outings where we fellowship and just enjoy each other’s company. It is not run as a dictatorship, the women in the house have a say and opinion on each and every policy put into place. For the first time in a lot of our lives, our voices are heard, and we belong.
There is great accountability, and we submit to random drug and alcohol screening, we are required to attend 12 step support group meetings weekly, and therapy is a priority because our mental health matters. When one wins at ORHC, we all win, and when one struggles, we all are there to be service in any way we can be, and that’s because we love one another. The Program Leaders don't ask anything of us that they haven't done or is not willing to do themselves. This makes us more receptive, willing and open minded to step out of our comfort zone and seek our true and full potential. Malta / ORHC is a home, a family, and a safe space.

I came into Ohio River Health Center 11-6-23, I was broken, lost, scared, and alone. Throughout my journey the staff and fellowship have helped me to grow in ways I would have never imagined. The classes have taught me about myself, and how to combat my alcoholism/addiction. The program staff and clients helped love me back to life.
The clinical team has helped me to love myself again. I now work a full-time job, have supportive family and friends back in my life, have developed a strong network of fellowship in both the house and A.A./N.A. communities. Today, I can say im proud of the man I am becoming. Today I get to do things like help feed the homeless, volunteer for service work, and next month I have the honor of taking the Peer Support Exam to be able to give back to the community that has given me so much. And it's all thanks to the guidance, support, patience, and love that I have received from Ohio River Health Center with this program I truly have a second chance at life. I'm forever grateful.
