The Premier Depression Treatment Center in Ohio

Everyone has highs and lows, but clinical depression can significantly impact relationships, your career, and your ambitions. Over 21 million Americans have had a major depressive episode in the past year. Depressive episodes can make everyday life difficult. Getting out of bed, leaving the home, and staying focused on tasks can be a daily battle for those suffering with clinical depression. To begin your journey to a happy and rewarding lifestyle, give us a call today 866-959-9910.

Depression is not a sign of weakness nor is it a matter of just “cheering up.” Clinical depression is a serious and complex health condition caused by a variety of factors including brain chemistry, behavior, and environment. Without professional help, depression can seem like a losing battle for those afflicted.

But you don’t have to fight alone – and recovery truly is possible. At The Ohio Mental Health Center at The Trails, we offer the most comprehensive inpatient depression rehabilitation program in the state of Ohio. At our 20-acre campus, our residential rehab addresses the physical, psychological, and behavioral aspects of depression, enabling you to get on a path of happiness and healing – all while in a tranquil environment with engaging holistic programming. In fact, some might call our program more like a mental health retreat! Learn more below.

What is The Ohio Depression Rehab at The Trails?

Our Ohio depression rehab is a unique program designed for those suffering from chronic depression. Many individuals who choose to enter a depression rehab have not had success with other treatment options, such as medications or therapy. Others come to us who have had suicide attempts or thoughts of suicide. One thing our clients all have in common – they are tired of having depression rule their lives.

A depression rehab is an inpatient program in a residential facility, typically lasting 30 or more days. In rehab, you are treated by expert teams of clinicians, psychologists, and psychiatrists who design a custom treatment plan for you or a loved one. Treatment plans often consist of:

Unique aspects of depression rehab are added therapeutic models that aren’t typically provided in outpatient settings, such as life-skills, coping skills, adventure therapy, peer support, and other evidence-based & holistic therapies. 

  • Medications, such as antidepressants
  • Individual therapy, such as CBT, DBT, Motivational interviewing, and more
  • Group therapy
  • Holistic therapy, such as Yoga, meditation, art therapy, and adventure therapy
  • Life skills
  • Coping skills
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • EMDR

If you have had previous treatments for depression, such as antidepressant medications, you may be all too familiar with the fact that every person’s physiology is different. It can take two, three, or more medication attempts before finding the one that works best for you.

For people suffering from major depression, waiting weeks or months to finally find the correct medication can feel daunting or hopeless. In a residential depression rehab, you are removed from everyday stressors and can receive medications and therapies in a safe & comfortable environment.

In our private depression rehab, we offer a level of privacy and individualized care not found anywhere else. We are not a hospital. The Trails is a home-like facility nestled in the woodlands of Licking County, Ohio. Our property features hiking trails, a pond, and luxurious amenities to make your stay with us as comfortable as possible.

When is Inpatient Depression Treatment Right For Me or A Loved One?

When people hear the word “inpatient” – hospitals may come to mind. However, The Trails is much different than a hospital. While our program is inpatient, or more formally “residential treatment”, client living quarters are in a retrofitted estate that feels and looks more like a home. Clients still receive much of the same high level of care as a hospital setting, such as 24-hour nursing and psychiatric care, but are not confined or “locked down.” Our 20-acre campus also offers hiking and other outdoor activities! However, clients live and sleep at the facility for the duration of their care – which is why it is technically considered an inpatient program.

To understand if inpatient depression rehab is right for you or a loved one, we always recommend giving us a call at 866-959-9910. Our admissions specialists can help with a no-obligation assessment to help you determine the most appropriate level of care. It can seem like a major disruption to your daily life to decide to go to rehab, but it can be a life changing (and life-saving) decision. 

In Ohio, about 5 people die every day by suicide. Even more concerning, most recent data shows from 2007 to 2018 sucide deaths in Ohio increased by over 40%. 

There is often serious misunderstanding attached with sucide. Some people view suicide as “selfish” or “weak”, but in reality it is neither of these things – it is actually a symptom of the intense mental anguish associated with clinical depression. In fact, contrary to selfishness, people who experience suicidal ideation often feel as though they are a burden on their loved ones. People who attempt suicide often see no other hope to alleviate their pain. 

At The Trails, we take a comprehensive and holistic approach to depression treatment. We can help you take control of your mental health when other methods have seemed to fail. Depression rehab might be right for you if:

  • You always seem to be extremely sad, cry often, or feel hopeless
  • Find it difficult to leave the home
  • Find it difficult to get out of bed
  • Passive suicidal ideation (eg. “I wish I were not alive” or “my family  or friends would be happier if I were gone”)
  • Depression is affecting your career
  • Depression makes it difficult to keep relationships
  • Depression is affecting your home and family life
  • Depression causes you to isolate yourself
  • Constant feelings of dread or impending doom
  • My medications don’t seem to work
  • Feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness
  • Feelings of shame, remorse, and intrusive thoughts
  • Depression is causing low libido
  • Loss of motivation and interest in hobbies
  • Loss of joy, happiness, or reward 

These are some of the most common reasons people choose to enter a depression rehab. If you or a loved one relate to one or more of these statements, The Trails program may be right for your family.

  • I decided to go to The Trails last March after a combination of seasonal depression and burnout had me in a tough spot, and it was what I needed and more. By the … read more end of the month, I finally felt like myself again, and I made a lot more personal growth than I had honestly expected to make. As the other reviews have stated, the house and the property are beautiful, the therapists are skilled and respectful, and the rest of the staff was so supportive and welcoming. But I also wanted to leave a more comprehensive review for anyone who is considering The Trails for themselves or a loved one and, like me, feels more comfortable when you know what to expect!
    As with most mental health programs, you will spend a few hours in group therapy every weekday. Even having my fair share of individual therapy under my belt, I found the daily group therapy very educational and well led. They pull from many different schools of therapy, including CBT, DBT, and ACT, so I think that everyone could find something valuable to take away, regardless of what brings you in. My individual therapist was incredible, she was knowledgeable, optimistic, and honest, and I only heard positive things from the other patients about their therapists. Group therapy would often be held outside, or even while on walks through the trails, which I really enjoyed. I was honestly hesitant of group therapy at first, but it was not only informative, but also deeply comforting to be able to speak openly about mental health struggles with people who could relate and provide support. There were also weekly visits from a psychiatric nurse practitioner who worked with us to make adjustments to medications. They had GeneSight testing available to test and see what medications you're genetically predisposed to be more compatible with, which is great information to have when you only have a month to make adjustments. That being said, you will not leave The Trails without a solid discharge plan, whether that means a step-down program like PHP or IOP, or just making sure you are set up to continue with a therapist and psychiatrist after returning home.
    Though most of the day's schedule is composed of group therapy, there were also weekly visits from different instructors, such as yoga, somatic breathing, sound baths, and naturopathy. These not only brought variety to the schedule, but they also fostered a more ground-up approach to therapeutic care which I found very beneficial. In general, there was an emphasis on holistic care; the importance of our physical, social, and spiritual health was also stressed and supported. There was healthy and tasty food prepared daily, plenty of opportunities for gentle exercise, and self care was strongly encouraged. We had regular game nights, movie nights, and other non-treatment related activities that provided a nice break to destress and have some fun. There were plenty of puzzles, coloring books, and some crafts to work on there, but I would recommend bringing your own non-electronic entertainment, as the days can be long without your phone or tv to keep you busy!
    If you can swing a month away from home, I strongly recommend reaching out and seeing what your insurance will cover. I ended up paying about the same as I was going to spend on a (modest) week-long vacation I was initially planning to take to try to combat my burnout, and given that I had a month of comfortable housing, home cooked meals, and daily therapy, The Trails was a much better deal.
    All of this to say, I really loved my time at The Trails and I'm extremely grateful to the staff for making it such a healing experience. I really think anyone could benefit from a stay there, but especially if you are in a place where you need a break from everything and a supportive environment to get you back on track, I can say for certain The Trails can provide that.

  • I just graduated this program and it was the most life changing experience I have ever had. The house is immaculate and so clean. You are fed amazing and the staff … read more really care. Everyone went above and beyond to make me comfortable and make my experience wonderful. The therapists, BHTs and the nurses are just some of the best people I have ever met. I am so thankful for the experience and it has truly been life changing. I will always be so grateful for the opportunity I received by going. I've made life long bonds and connections in ways I have never experienced. Thank you so much for the support!

  • After a particularly tough time in my life, I decided I needed to prioritize my mental health and well-being. I did a lot of research on facilities in Ohio and this … read more one rose to the top.
    I am so grateful for my month-long experience at The Trails. The staff are exceptionally kind and supportive, the facility and grounds are beautiful, and the small size created a family-like experience. It was a wonderful balance of therapy, holistic wellness, and group interaction.
    I have grown so much through this experience and I could not recommend it more for those seeking this type of support.
