“Rosary Hall is a great program and I’m grateful I was able to be a part of it. The staff was very understanding and helpful. I learned so much about being an alcoholic, as well as information on how to recover successfully. I liked the group meetings and layout plan for giving me the tools that are needed to recover. The staff makes you feel confident and I’m just so grateful I have had the chance to change my life through Rosary Hall.”

Individual counseling

One-on-one meetings with a counselor or social worker to assist in achieving treatment objectives.

Aftercare

Patients who have completed a primary rehabilitation program typically continue treatment in early recovery in the aftercare program. This is a one-hour-per-week group therapy program lasting a minimum of 12 weeks.

“I am so grateful that I came to Rosary Hall. At first I thought that I wouldn’t learn much because I had been through recovery programs before. But, I learned so much about myself and my feelings. This program has helped me to open up and share some things that I was never comfortable sharing before. The group sessions are great and meditation was a great way for me to start my day. I came to class feeling anxious on most day, but by the time I left I felt calm and motivated to get through the rest of my day sober. Thank you! This program has truly been a blessing!”

CASE-MANAGED TRANSITION INTO COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT NETWORKS

We assist patients in moving from treatment at Rosary Hall to self-help recovery programs, such as Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous. Case management is also provided to transition individuals to the next level of care and to other support services.

MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a whole-patient approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. At Rosary Hall, our MAT program uses Vivitrol, Suboxone or Sublocade for treatment, and the program is available to all patients, including with private insurance and Medicaid. The ultimate goal of MAT is full recovery, including the ability to live a self-directed life.

Legacy of Sr. Ignatia Gavin, CSA, Founder of Rosary Hall

In 1952, a tiny 63-year-old nun undertook a formidable assignment – move from Akron to Cleveland to serve alcoholics at St. Vincent Charity Medical Center. Sister Ignatia had previous experience treating alcoholics at Akron’s St. Thomas Hospital, where she worked with Robert H. Smith, MD, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. Revered as the “Angel of Mercy,” Sister Ignatia worked tirelessly raising money for Rosary Hall and treating patients until her retirement in 1965. By that time, Rosary Hall was considered one of the finest treatment centers in the nation. Sister Ignatia leaves a legacy of caring devotion to more than 20,000 alcoholics during her life.

Sacred Heart Badge

The Sacred Heart Badge is given to all those who participate and complete Rosary Hall treatment programs. The familiar badge owes its origin to St. Margaret Mary. On one occasion, Christ appeared to her, he expressed the wish that those who loved him should wear or carry a picture of his Sacred Heart. St. Margaret Mary responded by making some little pictures which she and her friends carried. These were really the first Sacred Heart Badges.

The Sacred Heart Badge symbol serves to remind us of Christ’s love for each of us. The Badge has proven to be a comfort, an inspiration, a source of spiritual strength as a sacramental or visible sign by which God’s benediction is invoked on the person who has one.

When Sr. Ignatia Gavin, founder of Rosary Hall, worked at Rosary Hall, she presented every client with a Sacred Heart Badge upon completion of the program. Rosary Hall still keeps this Sr. Ignatia’s tradition alive and well today.
