CHC Addiction Services - Touchstone

Community Health Center (CHC) in Akron, Ohio, offers comprehensive treatment for substance use disorders and alcohol abuse through a variety of programs. Located at 838 Coburn Street, Akron, Ohio 44311, CHC is dedicated to helping individuals achieve long-term recovery. Key services include residential treatment, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), intensive outpatient programs, adult counselling services, and a specialised women's recovery program. These services are designed to provide personalized care for those struggling with addiction, supported by a compassionate and professional staff.

One of the standout programs at this location is Touchstone, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) that offers supportive housing for women battling substance use disorders. Women undergoing treatment at Touchstone live onsite, and the program allows them to have up to two children under school age reside with them during their stay. This inclusive approach is especially beneficial for pregnant and postpartum women, who receive specialized care tailored to their unique needs.

In addition to these clinical services, CHC’s Rocco Antenucci Memorial Adult Residential Center (RAMAR) provides a structured, supportive environment for adults. RAMAR offers 24 beds, and residents can expect treatment durations ranging from 60 to 90 days. Various therapeutic approaches are used, including individual and group counselling, to help patients achieve lasting recovery.

CHC is supported by the CHC Foundation, established in 1985 to further the organization's goals. Over the last 20 years, the foundation has raised millions of dollars through fundraisers and community development initiatives to support programs like Touchstone and RAMAR. The foundation also partners with CHC through the Ohio Multi-County Development Corporation (OMCDC) to provide housing for specific populations in a three-county area.

Additional services at this location include administrative offices, housing (OMCDC) offices, and public services like fingerprinting/background checks. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and the facility is closed on major holidays.
