About Transitions
Our Mission
“We provide evidence-based, person-centered Substance Use Disorder treatment and recovery services so individuals can lead their most meaningful and healthy lives.”
Philosophy of Treatment
Addiction is a primary, chronic, fatal, and treatable disease. Individuals who seek treatment for their disease need to start with an initial evaluation by Licensed Clinicians and Medical Team to determine the best course of action and recommendations for care. Plans of care and recommendations need to be individualized and tailored to the person’s clinical and medical needs. Treatment is provided through trauma-informed, person-centered, and recovery-focused services. We believe recovery IS possible with treatment. We understand that recovery is a process and we value and support each person's journey.
"This disease impacts every part of our community. If there's one thing I want people to take away, it's that we can help today—we can help right now."
— Jim Beiting, CEO of Transitions, Inc.
What We Do
Transitions is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and licensed by the State of Kentucky as Alcohol and Other Drug Entities (AODE). The overarching objective for every level of care we provide is to jumpstart an individual’s life in recovery. We do this through individualized treatment planning, patient-centered care, evidence-based intervention strategies and a compassionate commitment to top-quality care.
Our History
Transitions was founded in 1969 by a group of citizens concerned about the lack of addiction recovery services for Northern Kentucky’s less fortunate residents. Three of the group’s most committed members were from the same family (Virginia, Margaret, and Larry Droege). In 1969, the group gained some supporters and raised some money but it wasn’t enough to start a residential treatment program. The group often met in the living room of Virginia and Margaret Droege. Legend has it that, during one meeting in late 1969, Virginia looked at Margaret and said, “You know, we could start doing treatment services right here”. They moved in with relatives and donated their home to the cause. The new agency was named Droege House, Inc. and the new program became Greater Cincinnati’s first non-medical residential treatment program for those with the disease of addiction.
