About Stella Maris Detox/PHP

Stella Maris Detox/PHP is a Joint Commission-accredited addiction treatment center located at 1320 Washington Ave in Cleveland, Ohio, operating since 1948. One of the oldest continuously operating programs in Cuyahoga County, it provides withdrawal management (detox) as the entry point of care for adults dealing with substance use disorders, alongside treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.

The facility’s continuum begins with medically supervised withdrawal management and inpatient residential care, then steps down through Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programming before transitioning clients into standard outpatient services. That full spectrum under one roof means individuals can progress through levels of care without changing providers — a structural advantage that supports continuity during and after detox.

Clinically, Stella Maris draws on a range of therapeutic methods confirmed by the facility: family therapy, trauma therapy, peer support, group therapy, music therapy, case management, and psychiatry services. The presence of psychiatry on-site supports treatment of co-occurring mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders, an important capability for individuals whose withdrawal and recovery needs extend beyond physical stabilization.

Supportive services at Stella Maris extend well beyond discharge. The center maintains an alumni association, recovery management programming, and supportive housing — as well as workforce development and culinary training programs that address the practical barriers many people face after completing detox and residential treatment. Adults seeking a program that bridges medical withdrawal management with structured reintegration support will find a decades-tested operation in Cleveland’s near west side.

Withdrawal Management & Inpatient Detox in Cleveland

Stella Maris Detox/PHP provides withdrawal management as the first level of care for adults entering treatment for substance use disorders. Located at 1320 Washington Ave in Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, the facility is Joint Commission accredited — a benchmark standard for clinical safety in detox and inpatient settings.

After stabilization in withdrawal management, clients can step directly into the facility's inpatient residential program without a provider change. This direct transition matters during the critical early period following detox, when continuity of clinical oversight directly affects outcomes.

PHP, IOP, and Outpatient Programs Following Detox

For individuals who have completed withdrawal management or inpatient residential care, Stella Maris offers Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programming as structured step-down options. Both levels of care are delivered within the same organization, preserving the clinical relationships established during detox and residential treatment.

Standard outpatient services follow IOP for those who require ongoing support at a lower intensity. The availability of each level — from detox through outpatient — within a single facility gives clients in Cuyahoga County a rare option: a complete course of treatment without being transferred between disconnected programs.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Treatment & Clinical Services

Stella Maris treats both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, supported by on-site psychiatry services. Many individuals entering detox present with mental health needs that complicate withdrawal and early recovery; having psychiatry available within the same program addresses those needs without requiring external referrals.

Therapeutic services confirmed at the facility include trauma therapy, family therapy, group therapy, peer support, music therapy, and case management. This range of clinical methods allows the treatment team to address the behavioral and psychological dimensions of addiction alongside the medical process of withdrawal.

Aftercare, Recovery Management & Supportive Housing

Completing detox and residential treatment is only the beginning of what Stella Maris offers. The facility operates recovery management programming, an alumni association, and supportive housing for individuals who need a stable environment after completing higher levels of care — resources that extend the program's reach well past the discharge date.

Workforce development programs and culinary training are additional features that set Stella Maris apart from most detox-focused facilities. These practical programs address employment and life-skills barriers that frequently contribute to relapse after medically supervised withdrawal, giving clients a tangible foundation for sustained recovery in the Cleveland area.
