Comprehensive Addiction Treatment in Portsmouth, Ohio. Saving Lives and Restoring Hope

In 2023, more than 105,000 people nationwide died from drug overdoses, and nearly 80,000 of those involved opioids.  Locally, Scioto County, home to Portsmouth, has suffered one of the worst overdose epidemics in Ohio history. From 2015 to 2020, the county averaged an age-adjusted unintentional overdose death rate of 83.4 per 100,000, the highest in the state.  In 2020 alone, the county’s overdose rate soared to 130.1 per 100,000, far exceeding state and national norms. 

Communities here have felt the pain of families fractured, resources stretched thin, and lives lost. But there is hope.

At Amazing Grace Center, we combine the strongest elements of modern addiction care: FDA-approved medications (like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone) plus counseling, behavioral health support, peer recovery services, and wrap-around care. This integrated, evidence-based approach is widely recognized as the most effective path toward long-term recovery.

Why Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Matters

Although more than 5 million Americans live with opioid use disorder, about 75% lack access to life-saving medications. Discrimination, myths, and abstinence-only programs still block many people from getting help. (Research shows those denied medications often face more relapses and higher overdose risk.)

We reject those outdated treatment models. At Amazing Grace Center, we provide compassionate, science-based care that meets you where you are.

Overcoming Barriers

There are still treatment centers or providers that discourage the use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). While some treatment program are limited offering housing or detox without clinical or medical support. We’re different. Our staff is licensed, experienced, and committed to delivering full-spectrum care under one roof without judgement.

Recovery Built on Science and Support

We view addiction as a chronic health condition—not a moral failure. Medications like methadone and buprenorphine can stabilize brain chemistry, ease withdrawal and cravings, and give you the space to rebuild. Combined with therapy, peer support, and care coordination, you can:

• Reduce the risk of fatal overdose

• Address mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD

• Plan for goals like employment, housing, and restoring relationships
