Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions

Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions offers structured outpatient addiction treatment for adults in Reynoldsburg, just east of Columbus in Franklin County. The center's two levels of care — a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — give individuals and their families a range of options depending on how much support is needed at a given point in recovery.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is a meaningful step up in structure from standard outpatient care, suited for people who need consistent clinical engagement while remaining in their home environment. For many people in recovery, this kind of community-integrated treatment is more sustainable long-term than residential settings. Lighthouse's outpatient model keeps clients connected to their real lives while building the skills they need to stay in recovery.

A defining feature of Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions is its focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis treatment. The center addresses trauma and PTSD as part of its core clinical scope — an approach that reflects a growing body of understanding about how unresolved trauma fuels substance use and relapse. Clients dealing with both mental health challenges and addiction receive treatment that accounts for both, rather than addressing only the substance use piece.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary therapeutic method at Lighthouse, giving clients concrete strategies for recognizing and changing the thought patterns tied to addictive behavior. This skill-building focus is particularly well suited to outpatient recovery, where clients are applying what they learn in real time, in their everyday environments.

Lighthouse serves a wide cross-section of the adult population in the Columbus metro area. The center's programming is designed to be accessible to veterans, pregnant women, young adults (18–25), seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, and those referred through the court system. This breadth is intentional — recovery doesn't look the same for everyone, and the populations Lighthouse works with reflect that reality.

Medicaid is accepted, which matters for people in outpatient recovery who need ongoing, consistent care without the financial pressure of private-pay costs. The center operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be contacted by phone at (614) 224-6903 or by email at [email protected].

Lighthouse Behavioral Health Solutions holds accreditation from CARF International, an independent, nonprofit accrediting body that evaluates substance use treatment programs against rigorous quality standards. CARF accreditation is a meaningful signal for individuals and families evaluating addiction treatment options — it means the program has been externally reviewed and meets established benchmarks for clinical quality and organizational accountability.

For people navigating the process of choosing a recovery center, accreditation like this provides a layer of confidence that goes beyond marketing language. Combined with Medicaid acceptance and a broad range of populations served, Lighthouse positions itself as an accessible, accountable option for long-term outpatient recovery support in the Reynoldsburg and greater Columbus area.
