About

About McKinley Hall Inc

McKinley Hall is a private not-for-profit corporation that has provided substance use treatment to Clark County, Ohio since the late 1980s. From its main facility at 2624 Lexington Avenue in Springfield, the agency runs an unusually broad mix of services for a small-city nonprofit: a men’s residential inpatient program, outpatient and intensive outpatient programs for both genders, medication-assisted treatment, criminal-justice-specific tracks, recovery housing, and an outreach arm focused on prevention and harm reduction.

Clinical services emphasize meeting clients where they are. Outpatient programs include MAT for opioid use disorder, gender-specific groups, and dedicated programming for clients involved in the criminal justice system. The men’s inpatient residential program offers a structured therapeutic environment with extended stays for clients who need to step away from their home environment. Pregnant women and parents are accepted, and child-watch services and transportation assistance — funded by the Mental Health and Recovery (MHR) Board — make participation feasible for clients who would otherwise be unable to attend.

McKinley Hall is also the public face of community harm reduction in Clark County. The agency runs a syringe exchange, Project DAWN naloxone distribution, an Opioid Response Team, and drug disposal bag distribution. These programs reduce overdose deaths and infectious disease transmission while creating low-barrier entry points into treatment for clients not yet ready for abstinence.

The agency is CARF accredited and certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services. It accepts Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, with a sliding fee scale and additional MHR Board funding for services that cannot be billed to insurance. CEO Wendy H. Doolittle leads roughly fifty full-time staff on a budget that exceeds four million dollars, and the agency partners closely with United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties and other community organizations.
