About Ohio State East Hospital
Ohio State East Hospital sits at 181 Taylor Avenue in Columbus, just east of downtown, and is part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. The campus houses Talbot Hall, the medical center’s dedicated addiction medicine program, which provides hospital-based inpatient detox along with residential, intensive outpatient, and traditional outpatient care. As a Joint Commission-accredited academic medical center, OSU East delivers addiction treatment with the same depth of medical, psychiatric, and consulting expertise patients would expect from a major teaching hospital.
Clinically, the program emphasizes medical management of withdrawal alongside evidence-based psychotherapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy anchors the counseling curriculum, medication-assisted treatment is available for opioid and alcohol use disorders, and dual-diagnosis programming addresses co-occurring mental health conditions. Because Talbot Hall sits within a full-service hospital, patients with complex medical needs – cardiovascular disease, liver dysfunction, pregnancy complications, or other comorbidities – can receive specialty consultations without leaving the campus.
The program is designed to serve a diverse adult population. Men and women are admitted, court-ordered referrals are accepted, and Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients are accommodated through American Sign Language services. Trauma-informed care is woven throughout programming for patients with PTSD or trauma histories, and OSU’s outpatient continuum allows patients to step down through IOP and traditional outpatient sessions after inpatient stabilization. MyChart provides ongoing scheduling, prescription management, and secure messaging with the care team.
Financially, Ohio State East accepts Ohio Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE for military families, and most commercial insurance plans, with self-pay options available. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 614-257-3760 directly or 614-293-8000 through the OSU Wexner appointment specialists. As part of an academic medical center ranked among America’s Best Hospitals for more than three decades, the addiction program brings clinical research, multidisciplinary consultation, and graduate medical education to the bedside of every patient.
