Accommodations and Food
Ottmar Center is a quaint, white-shingled two-story building located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. The building accommodates 16 women, who are paired in comfortably furnished rooms, which include twin beds, dressers, lamps and desks.
Residents eat three daily meals, along with snacks, inside a dining hall. There are outside designated areas for smokers, who often sip their coffee while smoking a cigarette.

Prior to admission, clients receive comprehensive assessments, along with individualized treatment plans. While detox is not offered, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) via Suboxone is provided to ease withdrawals from opiates.

Clients with co-occurring disorders receive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Residents undergo regular drug and alcohol testing to ensure the safety of the entire facility.
