Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Kettering, Ohio

Kettering sits immediately south of Dayton in Montgomery County, one of Ohio's largest treatment markets. Countywide overdose deaths fell sharply in 2024 and the region is dense with options - from a 24/7 behavioral hospital to an ADAMHS-funded network of clinics. Here is how to read the local data and where to start.

What the county data show

Montgomery County has about 537,443 residents, and Kettering itself is home to roughly 57,028 people. The Montgomery County Community Overdose Action Team - which compiles data with the county coroner's office - counted 176 suspected overdose deaths in 2024, with 175 confirmed as of April 2025, a 39% decrease from 293 in 2023. Deaths peaked at 566 in 2017, so the latest year is less than a third of that high.

The pressure has not disappeared. The county still ranked 4th of Ohio's 88 counties for overdose emergency-department visits in 2024, with 1,049 visits. That combination - falling deaths but heavy ER traffic - is why the county keeps naloxone and treatment access central to its response.

Where treatment happens

The Montgomery County Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services (ADAMHS) Board plans, funds, and evaluates the county's behavioral health system through a network of organizations. Its office is at 409 E. Monument Avenue, Suite 102, Dayton, OH 45402, phone (937) 443-0416, and it also operates a suicide prevention line at (937) 226-0818. The board is the best first call for a referral to a funded program in Kettering or anywhere in the county.

Two concrete starting points:

• Kettering Health Behavioral Medical Center, at 5350 Lamme Road in nearby Moraine, phone (937) 534-4600, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and offers inpatient services including substance abuse therapy, plus outpatient therapy and medication management. It also runs an adult intensive outpatient program next door at 5348 Lamme Road.
• Ohio's provider list names Eastway Behavioral Healthcare and Samaritan Behavioral Health among Montgomery County's available providers, part of the ADAMHS-funded network.

Getting around the Dayton area

Treatment works on a schedule, and rides matter. The Greater Dayton RTA runs fixed routes across the region with a $2.40 base fare ($1.20 reduced for older adults, disabled veterans, and people with disabilities) and fare capping through its Tapp Pay system - a daily maximum of $5.50 and a 31-day maximum of $70.00, so frequent riders never pay more than a pass would cost. Children 12 and under ride free. Ohio Medicaid members can also ask their plan about non-emergency medical transportation to covered appointments.

Paying for care

Ohio Medicaid covers substance use disorder services for eligible members - outpatient counseling, medication for opioid use disorder, and residential care when medically necessary - and Ohio expanded Medicaid in 2014. Montgomery County's unemployment rate was 3.9% in August 2026 (preliminary) per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you are uninsured, the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-4357) offers free, confidential referrals, and ADAMHS-funded providers in the county serve residents based on need.
