Glenbeigh, founded in 1981, is an alcohol and drug treatment center dedicated to delivering personalized care. As a member of the ACMC Healthcare System, Glenbeigh is an affiliate of Cleveland Clinic. Addiction is a chronic, progressive disease that if left untreated, can cause serious complications. Our specialized, multidisciplinary caregivers take every aspect of each individual into careful consideration developing world-class therapeutic interventions that combine evidence-based care with holistic therapies. The process of withdrawing from substances, often called “detox”, is delivered with medical oversight and nursing care. Medications, along with other symptom management protocols, may be used to alleviate withdrawal symptoms from substances such as opioids, alcohol or stimulants. Our goal is to offer enhanced care that fosters positive relationships, combined with proven treatment methods, to reinforce healthy changes in all facets of life. It may take very little to go from the casual use of a substance to active addiction. The toughest part of the recovery journey is often the willingness to admit you may have a problem.
