Ohio Recovery Center

55-Acre Countryside Campus

Set among open fields and wooded trails in Van Wert, Ohio Recovery Center provides a restorative environment for recovery. Clients live in gender-specific cottages and have access to a fitness center, recreation rooms, and outdoor amenities such as walking paths, sports courts, and a pond with a gazebo. Nutritious, home-cooked meals and comfortable living spaces help create structure and stability during treatment. With capacity for more than 50 clients, stays typically last two to four weeks.

Detox and Evidence-Based Residential Care

Treatment often begins with medically monitored detox to manage withdrawal safely. Residential programming follows, structured around a full-day group therapy curriculum and one-on-one sessions. Evidence-based approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and medications for addiction treatment (MAT). Holistic services such as yoga, meditation, and art therapy complement clinical care, helping clients build coping strategies and healthier routines to support long-term recovery.

Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Expertise

Ohio Recovery Center is licensed to provide primary residential treatment for mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and schizophrenia. For clients with co-occurring needs, integrated care ensures both addiction and mental health are addressed together. Consistent care teams support individuals across detox, residential programs, and aftercare planning, reinforcing continuity and trust throughout the recovery process.

Specialized Programs and Long-Term Support

Dedicated tracks are available for couples, young adults, first responders, and LGBTQ+ clients, offering tailored support in a community-focused environment. Beyond therapy, clients engage in recreational and social activities such as movie nights, sports, and creative groups to strengthen connections and practice new skills. Before discharge, an aftercare coordinator works with each client to arrange continued therapy, peer support groups, vocational resources, and sober living options, supported by a robust alumni program that extends connection and encouragement beyond treatment.
