About Addiction Recovery Services
Addiction Recovery Services is the outpatient substance use treatment program operated by University Hospitals, located on the third floor of the W.O. Walker Center at 10524 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland’s University Circle. The clinic is positioned within UH’s academic medical campus, which means patients can be quickly connected to internal medicine, psychiatry, hepatology, and infectious disease specialists when their addiction care intersects with other medical needs.
Clinical services emphasize outpatient and intensive outpatient (IOP) programming for adults with substance use disorders. SAMHSA records cognitive behavioral therapy as the documented evidence-based modality, delivered by licensed clinicians who can coordinate with the broader UH behavioral health and psychiatry teams. Sessions are scheduled around work and family obligations, and telehealth is available for eligible appointments.
The clinic is accessible to Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, with American Sign Language accommodation documented in the SAMHSA directory. Care is delivered in English at this site, and the clinic accepts a broad payment mix – Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, TRICARE, state insurance, and self-pay – though specific commercial carrier participation is not separately published and should be confirmed at intake.
University Hospitals is one of Northeast Ohio’s anchor academic medical systems and a nationally ranked health system. Patients entering Addiction Recovery Services benefit from that infrastructure, including coordinated care, electronic records that bridge addiction and primary care, and access to specialty referrals as needed.
