OUR PROGRAMS

Supporting Recovery Support Services

Ohio is blessed with some amazing human beings. Late nights, weekends, early mornings, holidays... it doesn't matter. They roll up their sleeves and do what they can to help because they know what the stakes are. This is life and death.

 

They know the toll that substance abuse takes on a person because so many of them have direct, lived experience with it. They've been there and then chose to go back and help.

OCAAR would like them to know something: We've got your back.

Like you, OCAAR is comprised of individuals with lived experience. We put that to service by lifting your efforts and your voices. In addition to our fierce advocacy on your behalf, we help build the systems that help you serve more effectively. We train and educate providers. We build communities and help them grow.

Our organization manages, oversees, and supports numerous recovery programs in the state of Ohio that are essential to our shared future. 

Recovery is a skill pretending to be luck.
