About Broken Chains Jail & Prison Ministry

Broken Chains Jail & Prison Ministry is a sober living operator in Akron, Ohio, certified through Ohio Recovery Housing and serving Summit County.

A Certified Sober Living Operator in Summit County

The organization operates certified recovery housing for women in Akron. Its work grows out of ministry to people leaving incarceration, and its certification with Ohio Recovery Housing commits it to a published code of ethics and to disclosing fees and house rules in writing before anyone moves in.

What Recovery Housing Certification Requires of This Operator

Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing is granted residence by residence, and it requires a written relapse and discharge policy along with a complaint process outside the house. Carrying it means operating inside that published standard.

Serving Summit County's Recovery Housing Population

Akron is the seat of Summit County and the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous. Akron Children's Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Akron General and the University of Akron all sit inside the city, giving an operator here access to a full range of regional services.

Applying Through This Akron Recovery Housing Provider

Applications go through the operator, and certification entitles every applicant to the same disclosures in advance: the fee, the house rules and the discharge policy.
