Dr. Marc Whitsett, M.D., a board certified addictionologist, leads The Ridge’s experienced team of physicians, nurses and chemical dependency counselors. He continues the legacy started by Dr. Jeffrey Stuckert, M.D., of educating our clients about the disease of drug and alcohol addiction and helping clients learn the tools to manage it. His experience in emergency and occupational medicine gives him a strong a foundation in the medical effects of the disease. He is experienced in detox, residential and outpatient treatment and is a researcher exploring various treatment methods. Whitsett was a Clinical Investigator for Phase II FDA trials to get naltrexone (ReVia) approved for use in alcohol dependence. Since addiction still has no known cause, Dr. Whitsett passionately continues to try to find the cause, or as he says “the nugget”. Board certified by the American Boards of Internal and Addiction Medicine, Dr. Whitsett earned his medical degree from the University of Cincinnati.

Treatment Insights
The Ridge is a premium care, 12-step drug and alcohol treatment center in rural Cincinnati. It’s located on 51 scenic acres, which provides anonymity and comfort for clients in the recovery process. Many know us as the premier non-hospital program in the Midwest. With only 15 beds, we are able to provide intensive, focused treatment that includes CBT, education on the disease of addiction and how to manage it, frequent family groups and 1 year of aftercare for relapse prevention. We also have a psychiatrist on staff for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD and bipolar disorder. Our unique aspects include: Physician management led by a board-certified addictionologist, intensive family participation, 13-month length (including aftercare), frequent exercise/recreation, healthy hearty chef-prepared meals and the ability to privately care for our clients needs.

Reviews at a Glance
- Aftercare
Our founding Physicians made sure our program features 1 year of aftercare, for those able to access it, immediately following the Ridge (one 90-minute meeting per week for 52 weeks), since they believe the best way to avoid relapse is to continue long-term therapy. We do not charge extra for after so there is no hardship to attend. Our recovery statistics are much higher for those who complete aftercare vs. those who do not.
- The Midwest’s Most Focused Care
We are a small addiction recovery facility with only 15 beds. Our strong staff-to-patient ratio ensures each client has sufficient attention from our talented and experienced staff of physicians, nurses, and credentialed chemical-dependency counselors.

This placed honestly sucked. They pumped themselves up as this wonderful facility, but they were average at best. The food was very good though. When I relapsed, they turned their back on me and just ...
