A Message from the CEO
In response to the ongoing developments of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak, we have put a number of precautions in place to protect the safety of those we serve, as well as our staff and community at large. Please know all Neil Kennedy Recovery Center locations remain open, continue to accept patients, and have established the following guidelines until further notice.
Walk-in assessments have been suspended and we are screening patients over the phone regarding symptoms, travel and exposure. Family visitation has been suspended. We have been coordinating alternative options to still provide family interaction throughout treatment. Items permitted to be dropped off for an individual in a residential program will be limited to money, cigarettes and hygiene products. Drop offs must be scheduled between 12 – 8 p.m. daily. 12-Step meetings will only be provided on-site, no outside meetings will be permitted. Outpatient programs will be provided through telehealth, continuing to conduct morning, afternoon, and evening groups. Individual sessions, case management and MAT management will also be provided through telehealth.
We understand how difficult and uncertain these times can be. We will continue to monitor and communicate recommendations provided by the Ohio Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control. We appreciate your help to take the appropriate steps to support everyone’s well-being, and allow us to continue to provide proven, quality addiction treatment in eastern Ohio.
