Building Skills for Stability Beyond Treatment

Beyond clinical care, RAMAR emphasizes life skills building, offering training, job readiness support, and employment counseling. These services help residents work toward financial and social stability, laying groundwork for a smoother transition back into the community after treatment.

Community Connection and Peer Support

Peer connection is central to RAMAR’s approach, with multiple group options available to help men build supportive relationships. Residents can participate in groups like Good Grief, which addresses loss during recovery; Reboot, a motivational goal-setting group; Recovery Support Group, fostering accountability; and 12-step facilitation meetings to encourage connection to broader recovery communities.

Accessible and Supportive Environment

Situated within the city of Akron, the program offers transportation assistance to reduce barriers to treatment. The facility includes lounges, a meditation space, and areas for exercise, providing a setting that supports focus and personal growth during recovery.
