Lake Geauga Recovery Centers Inc - Womens Residential Treatment Oak House

Home-Like Women’s Residential Setting

Oak House offers long-term, non-medical residential substance use treatment for women in Painesville. The program is designed to feel more like a home than a clinical unit, with shared bedrooms, shared living and lounge areas, and routines that support day-to-day stability. Nutritious meals are provided, and dedicated spaces are available for individual counseling, group therapy, and educational meetings.

Pregnancy and Parenting Support With Room for Young Children

Oak House is built to serve women in all stages of life, including pregnant and postpartum clients and mothers with young children. Children under age three may stay with their mothers during treatment, and the facility includes a children’s playroom. Family-focused supports include childcare services, family assessments, outpatient family services, and Family Group programming.

Structured Therapy and Recovery-Focused Groups

Services begin with orientation, intake, and comprehensive assessment. Clients participate in intensive group therapy and individual counseling, along with topical and didactic groups that support recovery planning and skill-building. The program also connects clients to community-based 12-step support groups. Physical evaluations and prenatal care are available, along with behavioral health services when needed.

Practical Life Skills and Workforce Preparation

Oak House emphasizes the real-world skills that can make recovery more sustainable after residential care. With input from each client, counselors build plans that address needs related to housing, relationships, education, mental health, physical health, and childcare. Services include money management and budgeting support, independent living skills development, and workforce preparation such as career counseling, résumé help, job coaching, and connections to employment resources.

Aftercare Planning and Community Connections

Discharge planning and aftercare services are part of the program’s transition support. Oak House also helps clients connect with community resources, including public transportation, social service agencies, and nearby support meetings, and provides transportation assistance to help clients reach appointments and essential services.
