Compassionate Outpatient Addiction Treatment
and Support

Rosary Hall

No one should walk the path of recovery alone. If you’re struggling with substance use, including opioids, stimulants, cannabis or alcohol, addiction doesn’t define you—you’re worthy of healing, dignity and a brighter future. For more than 70 years, we’ve walked alongside individuals like you, providing compassionate, evidence-based care that helps turn struggle into hope.

Your First Step toward Recovery Starts Here

At Rosary Hall, treatment is designed for you. That’s because each patient has unique needs in his or her journey to break the pattern of substance abuse. We develop individualized plans to provide the most appropriate care for you. We offer a spectrum of addiction treatment services—from medically supported withdrawal services to an intensive outpatient program to long-term outpatient support.

Gold Standard of Care

 Rosary Hall is built on a legacy of compassionate healing, standing on the shoulders of those who have come before us since our founding in 1952. The medical model of alcoholism/addiction as disease was just beginning and the philosophy of treating people with alcoholism with dignity and respect was at the forefront. This value is still at the heart of our treatment programs.

Building on our solid foundation in addiction medicine, our gold standard of care in treating drug and alcohol use disorders includes:

  • Clinical Excellence — Led by highly accomplished physicians, counselors and social workers, we are experts in the treatment of substance use disorders—and experts in providing compassionate, comprehensive care.
  • Care without Barriers — We understand that affordable and reliable transportation is often one of the largest barriers to treatment. That’s why we offer free round-trip transportation via Lyft and bus passes to ensure you can be here in person.
  • Safety, Trust & Understanding (trauma-informed care) — Many people facing addiction have also experienced trauma, loss or difficult life experiences. We foster a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and cared for throughout your recovery journey.

A Legacy of Hope and Healing

The history of Rosary Hall is directly linked to the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) through Sr. Ignatia Gavin, CSA, a member of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, who helped found Rosary Hall. Sr. Ignatia and Dr. Robert Smith were pioneers in addiction medicine when they began treating patients with alcoholism at St. Thomas Hospital in Akron in 1939. Dr. Bob and Bill Wilson had previously founded AA in 1935 in Akron. Sr. Ignatia worked closely with Bill W. and Dr. Bob and was fondly referred to as the “angel of Alcoholics Anonymous.” Her order called her to Cleveland in 1952 to help found Rosary Hall.

As pioneers in addiction medicine, Sr. Ignatia, Dr. Bob and Bill W. maintained the importance of treating people with dignity and respect. At Rosary Hall, we continue this legacy today with the medical model of addiction and the 12-step model of recovery. Through the decades, Rosary Hall has provided care, treatment and hope to over 100,000 people with drug and alcohol dependency.
