Stella Maris Detox/PHP

Stella Maris Detox/PHP offers two distinct levels of addiction treatment care at its Cleveland, Ohio location: residential treatment and an outpatient program. Residential treatment provides a full-time, structured environment for individuals who need sustained support as they work through early and ongoing recovery. The outpatient program then allows people to maintain their progress while gradually returning to work, family, and community life — a critical bridge that many recovery centers fail to provide within a single facility.

Both levels of care are available to a wide range of individuals, including veterans, men, women, people who are Deaf or hard of hearing, and those attending under court order. Accepting Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, and self-pay, Stella Maris works to make substance abuse treatment accessible to the Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio community regardless of financial situation.

What distinguishes Stella Maris within the Northeast Ohio recovery landscape is its investment in what happens after treatment ends. The center maintains an alumni association, offers ongoing peer support, and connects graduates with supportive housing resources — all critical elements for people building a sober life outside the structure of residential care. Recovery management services and post-acute withdrawal management extend the clinical relationship beyond the formal treatment period, reducing the isolation that can undermine long-term sobriety.

This aftercare infrastructure reflects an understanding that recovery is not a single event but an ongoing process. For families researching treatment options, knowing that a center remains engaged with its alumni — not just during their stay — is a meaningful differentiator when choosing a long-term recovery partner in the Cleveland area.

Stella Maris incorporates a range of clinical modalities into its residential treatment and outpatient programs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms a core part of the therapeutic framework, helping clients identify and shift thought patterns that drive addictive behavior. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is also available, alongside trauma therapy for those carrying histories of PTSD or adverse experiences — a population that is significantly overrepresented among people seeking addiction treatment.

Group therapy and peer support create a community-oriented recovery environment inside the facility, while family therapy extends the healing process to the people closest to each client. One-on-one coaching, case management, and music therapy round out an approach that addresses recovery across clinical, relational, and practical dimensions. Co-occurring disorders and dual-diagnosis conditions are treated directly, making Stella Maris a suitable choice for individuals whose mental health and substance use challenges are intertwined.

Stella Maris stands apart from many residential treatment centers through its commitment to practical life preparation. Culinary training, workforce development programs, and one-on-one coaching give clients the tools to re-enter the workforce and sustain independent living after their time in treatment. An on-site coffee shop reinforces this vocational focus in a real-world setting — a feature rarely found inside a residential recovery program.

For individuals and families who understand that long-term sobriety depends on stable employment and daily structure, this emphasis on life skills is more than an amenity. It reflects a philosophy that recovery means rebuilding a full life, not just stopping substance use. These programs are woven into the broader residential treatment experience at the Cleveland, Ohio facility.
