Westwood Behavioral Health Ctr Inc

Westwood Behavioral Health Center Inc has spent nearly five decades building relationships across Van Wert County and into the neighboring communities of Paulding, Delphos, and Celina. As a contract agency of the Tri-County Alcohol Drug program, the center occupies a unique position in the regional recovery landscape — one shaped by long institutional knowledge of the people and needs of northwestern Ohio.

For those who have completed an initial phase of care elsewhere or who are stepping into outpatient treatment for the first time, Westwood offers a community-grounded alternative to traveling out of the area. Staying close to home means staying connected to the work, family, and peer relationships that support durable, long-term recovery.

Westwood's outpatient clinic provides two distinct levels of care for individuals managing drug addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. The standard Outpatient Program is designed for clients who have achieved a degree of stability and need structured clinical contact to maintain and build on their progress. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a greater number of treatment hours per week, providing the clinical intensity some clients need while preserving their ability to live at home and meet daily obligations.

Both programs draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), case management, pharmacotherapy, and prevention services. Case management in particular helps clients coordinate care, navigate community resources, and address the practical challenges that can disrupt a recovery plan. The combination of these approaches reflects the center's attention to both the clinical and life-management dimensions of sustained recovery.

Westwood's outpatient programs are designed to serve a wide cross-section of the community. Adolescents, veterans, men, and women all receive care here, as do individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing — a level of accessibility that is not universal among regional addiction treatment providers. The center also accepts court-ordered clients, working with the legal system to connect individuals with the structured substance abuse treatment they need.

Accessing care is made easier by a flexible payment structure. Westwood accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, and self-pay, and offers a sliding scale fee option for those whose income limits what they can contribute. The center's hours — including evening availability on Mondays and Wednesdays — extend access to people who cannot attend during standard business hours. To learn more or schedule an intake, call (419) 238-3434.

Westwood Behavioral Health Center Inc holds CARF accreditation, a credential that reflects an external review of the center's quality standards, program structure, and service delivery. For families and individuals evaluating long-term recovery partners, CARF accreditation provides a meaningful benchmark independent of the center's own self-reporting.

The center's nearly 50-year presence in Van Wert County is itself a form of accountability. Organizations that serve their communities for that length of time do so because they continue to meet real needs. For residents of Van Wert, Paulding, Delphos, Celina, and the surrounding region, Westwood represents a local, stable option for outpatient addiction treatment and mental health support without leaving familiar surroundings.
