Case management at Leora
A case manager works on the needs that sit outside the group room and builds them into your treatment plan. Therapy hours do little for you when a court date is coming, or when a Medicaid renewal lapsed months ago and you find out at the pharmacy counter. You go home every night into whatever is unresolved, and none of it pauses while you attend group.
Case management is part of Leora's outpatient programs at the Columbus and Dayton facilities. Your case manager works with the therapists, counselors, social workers and nurses on your team, so the practical plan and the clinical plan line up. It runs next to your group and individual hours and does not take their place.
Situations it suits
Anyone in treatment can ask for case management. It tends to matter more when:
- You are treating a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition at the same time
- Getting to services on your own has not worked
- You are coming from a hospital stay or another program and need help settling back into daily life
- Progress feels fragile and you want more support between sessions
What a case manager does
A case manager links you to services and resources outside Leora and follows up to make sure your needs are met. The specific services depend on your needs and goals, and Ohio applications for Medicaid and food assistance run through the state benefits system and your county Department of Job and Family Services.
- Support and encouragement between sessions
- Advocating for your needs
Coordination and records
Leora does not confirm or share anything about you because someone calls and asks. Contact with anyone outside Leora needs your written consent, with narrow exceptions set by federal law, such as a medical emergency or a court order. The consent form, also called a release of information, names the person or the group of people who may receive the information, and what they may be told.
- Your primary care doctor, psychiatrist, outside therapist or pharmacy
- A hospital or program discharging you to Leora
- A court, probation officer, licensing board or employer that needs confirmation of treatment
- A family member you want involved in your care
Inside Leora, coordination means the nurse practitioner and registered nurse assessing you for ambulatory detox already have your current medication list.
Limits of case management
Case management is not therapy, and your case manager does not replace your counselor. It cannot guarantee that a benefit gets approved or that an outside program has a place for you on the day you need one.
