Flying HIGH

Located in Youngstown, OH, Flying HIGH operates in OH's broader addiction-treatment market. The facility's programming is outpatient (IOP, MAT), not residential. What this page tries to do is frame the specific questions worth asking, which are rarely the ones that get asked first.

Care levels at Flying HIGH

Flying HIGH is an outpatient-focused program (IOP, MAT) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. The level-of-care question is where a lot of misaligned placements happen — a patient who needs residential ends up in IOP, or vice versa. The protection is a clinical assessment outside the facility's admissions team.

Insurance and payment

Flying HIGH accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance, which is the broadest payer profile and typically correlates with programs that operate at scale across the economic spectrum. Most post-treatment billing disputes trace back to a specific moment when an admissions counselor said one thing and the benefits department later documented something else. Avoid the moment by getting the written VOB before admission, not after.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Criminal justice (other than DUI/DWI)/Forensic clients, Clients with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. "Specialty track" is a marketing category often; it becomes a clinical category when specific clinicians deliver specific programming for a documented number of hours per week. Ask for those specifics.

Before you call

The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation. Before admission, pin down the three operational questions in writing: level of care, insurance, medication policy. The difference between a well-run program and a problematic one usually shows up in how quickly and directly those three are answered.
