  The adolescent Addiction Services Program at Talbot Hall treats 12-to 18-year-olds who show signs of chemical dependency or those who suffer from other psychiatric illnesses related to substance abuse. Our goal is to recognize the severity of abuse or dependence in each of our patients and end this destructive process through specialized education and therapy. The program is structured so that, in most cases, students may still attend their usual school without interruption. We offer the following services: Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient Services, Family Program, Dual Diagnosis, Continuing Care, Education Group, Treatment is tailored to individual needs, and cost varies with the scope of care. Most insurance plans and managed care contracts cover the costs of partial hospital care, and the Addiction Services Program also accepts Medicare and Medicaid. To determine whether your insurance will cover this cost and to discuss other details, please contact your insurer or call Talbot Hall at 614-257-3950 to make an appointment or referral.
