About Northwood Health Systems Ohio County Outpatient
Northwood Health Systems Ohio County Outpatient operates in Wheeling, West Virginia, serving Ohio County and the surrounding northern panhandle through outpatient addiction and behavioral health programming. Northwood Health Systems is a community-based provider with multiple locations across northern West Virginia, offering integrated addiction, mental health, intellectual disability and DUI training services under one organizational umbrella.
The outpatient clinic delivers individual counseling, group therapy and intensive outpatient programming for adults living with substance use disorders, mental health conditions and co-occurring diagnoses. Cognitive behavioral therapy serves as the primary evidence-based modality, complemented by telehealth options that expand access for patients in rural surrounding counties. SAMHSA records also list the clinic among providers with on-site capacity for deaf or hard-of-hearing patients through ASL-accessible services.
Northwood’s broader continuum includes detoxification and counseling at other organizational sites, with patients moved through care via Northwood’s internal referral pathway when a higher level of intervention is needed. The Ohio County outpatient site functions as a community entry point for ongoing recovery support, medication management coordination, and step-down care from inpatient or residential treatment elsewhere in the network.
The clinic accepts a broad payment mix that reflects Northwood’s role as a regional safety-net provider: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state-funded coverage, sliding-scale arrangements and financial assistance for self-pay patients. Northwood explicitly publishes a financial-assistance program and helps prospective patients verify Medicaid eligibility during intake. Phone access for the Wheeling office is available at (304) 234-3570 or through the central Northwood line.
