Concord Counseling Services

Concord Counseling Services offers two outpatient levels of care — a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — giving individuals in Franklin County the flexibility to pursue structured addiction treatment and substance abuse recovery without leaving their communities or employment. The IOP is especially well-suited for those transitioning from a higher level of care or managing co-occurring conditions that require more clinical contact than a traditional outpatient schedule provides.

Evening and extended weekday hours — including sessions running until 8:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays — are a practical advantage for people balancing recovery with work, school, or family obligations. The center is open Monday through Friday, with adjusted Friday hours, allowing for consistent weekly programming that supports the sustained engagement long-term recovery requires.

A significant portion of people entering substance abuse treatment are also managing trauma, PTSD, or other co-occurring behavioral health conditions. Concord Counseling Services directly addresses this reality — dual diagnosis and trauma/PTSD are confirmed conditions treated at the center, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides the clinical framework for working through these intersecting challenges in an outpatient setting.

This integrated focus matters for anyone evaluating a recovery center as a long-term partner rather than a single-issue provider. Addressing mental health and addiction together, rather than in sequence, is associated with more durable recovery outcomes — and Concord's outpatient structure makes this dual-focus care accessible on an ongoing basis within the Westerville community.

Two features set Concord Counseling Services apart from a standard outpatient clinic: Pathway Clubhouse and 1221 Art Space. These spaces signal an organizational investment in peer connection and community life that extends beyond scheduled clinical appointments — an approach aligned with what research and lived experience consistently show about recovery: that community matters.

For individuals and families looking for a recovery center that fosters a sense of belonging alongside clinical programming, these spaces represent something tangible and local. Whether used for peer support, creative engagement, or community gathering, they reflect the kind of environment that supports people staying connected to recovery over the long term.

Concord Counseling Services serves one of the broadest population ranges of any outpatient clinic in the Westerville area: adolescents, young adults (18–25), adults, seniors and older adults, men, women, and individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Services are available in English, Spanish, and Hmong — reflecting a real commitment to reaching diverse members of the Franklin County community.

Financial barriers are directly addressed through a full spectrum of payment options: Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance.
