What We Treat at The Ridge

The Ridge treats alcohol use disorder, substance use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. We treat them together through integrated care rather than addressing addiction in isolation. Care is private, physician-led, and residential, on one campus near Cincinnati.

es. For most people with a substance use disorder, addiction and mental health aren’t separate problems — they drive each other. Our integrated dual diagnosis model combines psychiatric care and medication management with trauma-informed therapy, so you’re not sent to a separate provider for what addiction actually is underneath the substance use.

Both. Alcohol use disorder is the most common reason people come to us, but we treat substance use disorder across prescription medications, opioids, stimulants, and other drugs. The clinical approach — medical stabilization, then individualized therapy — is the same; the medications and monitoring are tailored to the substance.

That’s the norm, not the exception. Most clients arrive with a combination — for example, alcohol use alongside anxiety, or drug use with untreated trauma. A clinical assessment maps everything that’s going on, and your treatment plan addresses all of it together rather than one piece at a time.

Yes. Confidentiality is protected by federal law (42 CFR Part 2), and discretion is built into how we work — which matters for professionals who can’t simply step away from a career. This is your story, and you decide how it’s told.

You don’t have to decide that yourself. A clinical assessment places you at the right level of care using ASAM criteria, and it adjusts as you progress. Where you start depends on your situation — not a default program everyone is funneled into.
