FAQs About Rehab in Athens

How do I fly into Athens, OH, if I’m coming for rehab from another city or state?
Athens doesn’t have its own commercial airport, but if you’re coming from another city or state, you can fly into John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH), about 70 miles northeast of Athens. CMH is the second busiest airport in Ohio, serving major airlines like American, Southwest, Delta and United. From CMH, rideshare options, rental cars, shuttles and taxis are available.
What’s the easiest way to get around Athens during rehab if I don’t have a car?
If you don’t have a car, Athens has a public bus route that’s free with a Community Member Athens Public Transit Pass and rideshare options are available. Athens is also a very walkable town, so you may be able to walk to certain locations. Some rehab centers may help patients with transportation to and from treatment, though you’ll need to confirm with your specific program.
Is Athens, OH, a good place for outdoor or nature-based activities while in rehab?
Yes, Athens is a great place for outdoor and nature-based activities, which many rehabs may incorporate into their programs. The Athens Trail Network is composed of several trails suitable for biking, walking, hiking and running. However, Athens sees a moderate amount of rain and snow as well as significant heat in the summer, so outdoor activities can be limited during June, July and winter.
Can my family take part in counseling or family days if I go to rehab in Athens, OH?
Many treatment centers in Athens allow patients’ families to take part in counseling, education groups or visiting days. Depending on where your family lives, they may participate in person or virtually. Not all treatment facilities offer the same amount of family involvement, so ask about family policies before enrolling in a program.
Is Athens, OH, a quieter environment for recovery or more of a busy urban setting?
Athens is a small town, but it’s also a college town, so certain times of the year can be lively and crowded, such as during school semesters. However, there are quieter pockets of Athens, with many treatment centers intentionally located in more private areas.
