About

About Ridge

Ridge is a physician-led substance use treatment center situated at 25 Whitney Drive in Milford, Ohio, serving adults in Clermont County. Open 24 hours a day, the facility has operated since 2011 and holds certification from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) as well as approval from the Ohio Physicians Health Program (OPHP) — a designation that reflects elevated standards in addiction medicine. Medical Director Dr. Wendy Soto holds board certifications from both the American Society of Addiction Medicine (FASAM) and the American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM), positioning Ridge as a clinically credentialed option for those seeking medically supervised detox in the greater Cincinnati region.

The facility offers a full continuum of care from medical detox through long-term outpatient support. Patients entering withdrawal can access medically supervised detox on-site, followed by residential treatment for those who need structured, round-the-clock care. For individuals stepping down from a higher level or beginning treatment on an outpatient basis, Ridge provides both an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a standard Outpatient Program — giving care teams the flexibility to match a patient’s clinical needs at each stage of treatment.

Ridge treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use, with psychiatrist Dr. Robert Sorscher and psychiatric nurse practitioner Debra Cutcher, PMHNP-BC, on staff to address mental health conditions including trauma and PTSD. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used. The clinical infrastructure — a physician medical director, an on-staff psychiatrist, and an advanced practice psychiatric nurse — is a notable differentiator for patients whose withdrawal or recovery is complicated by mental health needs.

Ridge serves adult men and women and accepts both private insurance and self-pay arrangements. Following active treatment, patients have access to an aftercare program and an alumni community. For families or individuals making a same-day decision about medical detox or residential care, Ridge’s 24-hour operation and direct admissions line at (513) 457-7963 make it a reachable option around the clock.

  • Physician-led facility with a Medical Director double board-certified in addiction medicine (FASAM, ABAM) — rare credentialing for a detox and residential center
  • On-site psychiatrist (Dr. Robert Sorscher, ABPN) and psychiatric nurse practitioner for integrated dual diagnosis and mental health treatment during detox and residential care
  • Full continuum from medical detox through residential, IOP, and outpatient — patients can step down without changing facilities
  • Ohio Physicians Health Program (OPHP) approved, a certification held by a select number of Ohio treatment centers
  • 24-hour operations with direct phone access, supporting same-day admissions decisions for those in acute withdrawal or crisis

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management at Ridge

For individuals facing acute withdrawal, Ridge offers on-site medical detox overseen by a physician-led clinical team. The facility operates 24 hours a day, meaning medical staff are available at any hour — a critical factor when withdrawal symptoms can escalate unpredictably. Medical Director Dr. Wendy Soto, M.D., FASAM, ABAM brings dual board certification in addiction medicine, providing the clinical depth needed to manage complex detox presentations.

Medically supervised detox at Ridge is designed as the entry point to a broader continuum of care. Patients who complete detox can transition directly into residential treatment or step to an Intensive Outpatient Program depending on clinical recommendation, avoiding the gaps in care that can occur when detox and rehabilitation are handled at separate facilities.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Addressing Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

Substance use disorders frequently present alongside psychiatric conditions, and Ridge is structured to address both simultaneously. The facility treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, with dedicated psychiatric staff including Dr. Robert Sorscher, M.D., ABPN — a board-certified psychiatrist — and Debra Cutcher, PMHNP-BC, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner. Trauma and PTSD are among the specific conditions the clinical team is equipped to treat.

This integrated psychiatric capability matters most during the detox and residential phases, when untreated mental health conditions can complicate withdrawal management or undermine early recovery. Having psychiatry embedded within the same facility, rather than referred out, gives the treatment team a clearer picture of each patient's full clinical profile from day one.

Levels of Care: From Inpatient Detox to Outpatient Programs

Ridge offers four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and a standard Outpatient Program. This range allows clinical staff to place patients at the appropriate level based on the severity of their withdrawal, their psychiatric needs, and their support systems outside of treatment. Families researching options can expect a structured pathway rather than a single program that attempts to serve all needs at once.

The step-down model — from inpatient detox and residential care into IOP and then outpatient — is a clinically recognized approach to sustaining progress after the acute phase of treatment ends. Ridge also provides an aftercare program and alumni community, extending the clinical relationship beyond the formal treatment episode.

Certifications, Staff Credentials, and Payment Options

Ridge holds certification from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OMHAS) and is approved by the Ohio Physicians Health Program (OPHP) — the state body that oversees treatment for healthcare professionals, which applies its own rigorous standards to the programs it endorses. CEO Stacy Klousiadis holds an M.Ed. and LICDC (Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor), the clinical leadership credential for addiction treatment in Ohio.

The facility accepts private insurance and self-pay arrangements. For individuals or families ready to discuss admission, Ridge can be reached directly at (513) 457-7963. The 24-hour operating schedule means intake inquiries can be handled at any time, without waiting for standard business hours.
