Integrated Care Within a Community Health Network

Stark Center delivers substance use treatment as part of a broader health system that also provides mental health services and primary care. This integrated model allows care teams to coordinate support for people managing substance use alongside conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related challenges, or suicidal thoughts. For clients, this can mean fewer gaps in care and clearer communication across providers.

Flexible Treatment Options That Meet People Where They Are

Care is available across outpatient, intensive outpatient (IOP), and short-term residential settings, making it possible to adjust structure and intensity as needs change. The center offers withdrawal management (detox) services for multiple substances, helping clients stabilize while beginning treatment. When residential placement is limited, outpatient services may be available as an interim option, with staff helping coordinate next steps.

Counseling and Medication Support Focused on Daily Functioning

Treatment combines counseling with medication support when appropriate. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) may include buprenorphine and naltrexone, along with medication support for alcohol use disorder. Counseling approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation. Group-based programming emphasizes practical skills such as coping strategies, emotional regulation, and recovery-focused routines that support day-to-day stability.

Planning for Stability Beyond Discharge

Care extends beyond a single phase of treatment through discharge planning and continuing care. Support includes relapse prevention groups, naloxone and overdose education, and follow-up after discharge. The center also offers case management and practical assistance, such as transportation support and help accessing housing or social services, to reduce barriers that can interfere with ongoing recovery. Family counseling and education are available to help strengthen support systems at home, and language services include Spanish and sign language support.

The Joint Commission

The Joint Commission is one of the most trusted names in healthcare. If a rehab center has this accreditation, it means they meet strong national standards for safety, treatment quality, and staff training.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
