Residential Treatment

Recovery Housing and Residential Treatment

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a major mental health disorder that can affect anyone regardless of background. The negative impacts of addiction can be overwhelming. However, Substance Use Disorder is treatable, and millions do recover every day.

At OhioGuidestone, we offer alcohol and drug addiction recovery housing to adults in need of structured care and sober peer support to help recover. Our programs provide alcohol and drug addiction treatment in a positive, supportive environment free from drugs or alcohol. OhioGuidestone’s recovery homes focus on breaking down barriers to sustained recovery by creating a unique care plan that meets the needs of the whole person.

What is Recovery Housing?

A recovery house is a structured sober living home that gives those struggling with addiction a safe and supportive place to focus on building a life free from drugs or alcohol. Research shows that choosing a recovery home to help treat addiction offers many benefits including improved emotional wellbeing, increased income, and better relationships with family and friends.

Our recovery housing programs may help you:

• Recover from addiction

• Build life skills needed for sustained sobriety
