Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers

About Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers

Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers is a sober living operator based in Chardon, Ohio, running certified recovery housing across Lake and Geauga counties. The nonprofit has provided addiction treatment and recovery housing since 1971 and holds accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities.

A Multi-County Recovery Housing Provider

Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers pairs its recovery homes with a full continuum of treatment: outpatient counseling, medication-assisted treatment, ambulatory detoxification, and psychiatric services, delivered from offices in Chardon, Mentor, and Painesville. Housing is one piece of a larger system, which lets a resident move between levels of care without changing organizations.

Recovery Homes in Chardon, Mentor, and Painesville

Confirmed addresses include:

• Water Street, near Chardon Square in Chardon, for men.
• Nowlen Manor, on a tree-lined street in Mentor, for women, the organization's first women's recovery house.
• Bill Horvath House, in Painesville, for men, the organization's first men's recovery house.

Beyond these, Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers operates several additional recovery residences across its service area for men, women, and women with children, expanding the program well beyond its original single house.

Serving Men and Women, Including Women With Children

The organization runs single-gender men's and women's houses rather than mixed housing, and at least one residence accepts women together with their children, a rarer accommodation among Ohio recovery housing providers. That range lets Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers place a wider variety of referrals than an operator running only one type of house.

ORH Certification and a Sliding Fee Scale

Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers holds Ohio Recovery Housing certification on its residences and operates on a sliding fee scale, accepting Medicaid and Medicare and stating that no one is refused services for inability to pay. Combined with NARR-aligned certification standards, that combination is uncommon among recovery housing operators of comparable size.

Serving Lake and Geauga Counties

With offices in Chardon, Mentor, and Painesville, the organization covers the bulk of Lake and Geauga counties directly, and its recovery housing draws referrals from the courts, hospitals, and outpatient providers in both. A resident moving between Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers' own housing and its clinical programs does not need to leave the two-county area to do it.

Reaching Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers

Referrals and applications go through Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers directly. Given the range of housing the organization runs, from single-gender men's and women's homes to housing for women with children, intake will ask which type of placement fits before assigning a bed.
