What is Recovery Housing?
In 2014, the Ohio State Legislature passed a law requiring all counties in the state to develop and implement Recovery Housing or face losing valuable resources for their county. Since that time local counties have been working feverishly to get Recovery Housing up and running. The reason behind the law was because the expanded view of recovery shows the need for ongoing recovery supports and the importance of safe, affordable housing is a fundamental recovery support. Research indicated that the longer a person remains in a alcohol and drug free environment with support for recovery, the greater chance of long term sobriety, increased financial well-being and overall stability.

Who is Recovery Housing for?
- People actively working to live alcohol and drug free lives on a daily basis
- People who desire a safe and structured living environment with others who share the goal of sobriety
- People who want to engage in support, services, or treatment opportunities to further their recovery
- People at risk of homelessness because they are in exiting treatment, incarceration, military duty or are living in a home or neighborhood that puts them at risk for using substances.
