Achieving Freedom From Addiction

The battle to be free of alcoholism or drug dependency is never easy, but it can be won. At Rosary Hall, patients -- along with their families, friends, co-workers and employers -- find the road to freedom in a recovery process that's compassionate, comprehensive and professional.

Founded in 1952, Rosary Hall has been at the forefront of treating alcoholism and drug dependency for nearly 50 years. In fact, its founder, Sister Ignatia, worked hand in hand with Dr. Robert Smith after he founded Alcoholics Anonymous in Akron, Ohio. Today, Rosary Hall's innovative efforts continue to be fueled by that compassion, not to mention decades of proven experience in treatment.

What Is Addiction?

A lack of willpower? No.
A moral failure? No.
Addiction is a disease. It's chronic, progressive and incurable.

However, it can be arrested and put into remission by entering into an educational recovery process.

At Rosary Hall, that process is abstinence-based and founded in the 12-step program philosophy.

Quality Services From Start To Finish

Breaking the stronghold of addiction is a personal battle. People enter the recovery process at differing stages and with differing needs, which means individualized treatment plans are crucial.

That's why Rosary Hall offers a continuum of care, capable of seamlessly transitioning patients through a process of inpatient medical withdrawal/detoxification to outpatient rehabilitation and into community-based support networks. Regardless of where a patient enters the process, access to care is available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week and includes the following:

Medical evaluations and ongoing assessments
Medical stabilization and acute care detoxification in a hospital setting
Rehabilitation plans tailored for the individual
Outpatient therapies and counseling for individuals and groups
Family counseling
Case-managed transition into community and support networks

Expertise That's Second To None

We believe that people heal people. That's why Rosary Hall puts great emphasis on the development of its staff. Led by board-certified addiction specialists Dr. Chris Adelman, M.D. and Dr. Ted Parran, Jr., M.D., Rosary Hall's team of chemical dependency nurses, counselors, therapists and social workers form the Rosary Hall family. This team works jointly to determine each patient's individual treatment plan and length of stay.

Leading By Serving

Rosary Hall's intensive approach to outpatient rehabilitation makes it the head-and-shoulders leader in treatment.

Individuals receive support, education and counseling through a regimen of four to five group and individual outpatient sessions per week.

In addition, Rosary Hall is supported by many physician specialists. The facility -- one of the Centers of Excellence at St. Vincent Charity Hospital -- provides access to these professionals, who are committed to helping treat the various medical complications associated with addiction.

Innovative treatments, personalized plans of care, intensive outpatient rehabilitation and groundbreaking addiction treatment research are among the many staff-driven efforts at Rosary Hall. As a result of that expertise, the facility is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), the Commission of Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), Medicaid and the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS).

Proven Care Conveniently Located

Since its founding, Rosary Hall has served more than 50,000 people seeking to be free from the physical, psychological and spiritual slavery of addiction. That fight for freedom is never easy. Rosary Hall's pioneering efforts to understand and successfully treat addiction give patients and their families an advantage in that fight.

Located in the heart of downtown Cleveland, Rosary Hall offers convenient access to care for those living and working in the city as well as its surrounding suburbs.
