Family Life Counseling and Psychiatric Services

Family Life Counseling and Psychiatric Services offers two distinct outpatient levels of care for people pursuing addiction recovery in North Central Ohio: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). These flexible tracks allow clients to receive structured substance abuse treatment while staying connected to their home, work, and support systems — a practical advantage for people in ongoing recovery who are not candidates for residential treatment.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who benefit from a more concentrated schedule of clinical contact, whether they are building momentum in early recovery or transitioning from a more intensive setting. The standard Outpatient Program provides continued care and accountability for those maintaining stability over the longer arc of recovery. Together, these options give North Central Ohio residents a continuum of outpatient support without leaving the region.

At Family Life Counseling, addiction treatment is not separated from the mental health conditions that frequently accompany it. The center specializes in co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, providing integrated care for people managing trauma, PTSD, domestic violence, and emotional issues alongside substance use. This approach reflects the clinical reality that unaddressed mental health conditions are a significant factor in relapse and long-term recovery outcomes.

Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Christian Counseling, within a framework of clinical practices. For clients in the recovery community who have struggled to find treatment that addresses the whole person — not just the substance use — this integrated focus is a meaningful distinction.

Two facility features set Family Life Counseling apart from standard outpatient clinics: the House of Hope program and school-based services. These offerings extend the center's recovery and mental health support into community settings, reaching people — including young people — where they are rather than waiting for them to seek clinic-based care on their own.

School-based services in particular reflect the center's commitment to early intervention and adolescent recovery support, serving children, teens, and adolescents across the region. For families navigating a loved one's addiction, knowing that professional counseling and recovery services are accessible within school environments adds an important layer to the broader recovery community network in North Central Ohio.

The center serves one of the broadest populations of any outpatient recovery clinic in the region: children, teens, adolescents, young adults (18–25), men, women, adults, court-ordered individuals, and people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Services are provided in English, and the clinic operates Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at 6 Public Square in Galion, Ohio.

Financial accessibility is a genuine priority. Family Life Counseling accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, self-pay, and offers a sliding-scale fee structure — ensuring that cost is not the deciding factor for people ready to commit to long-term recovery.
