Taking Back Ohio β€œTreatment helps people get well. Community helps people stay well.

Weekly OPEN Meetings Taking Back Ohio is a grass roots Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate, advocate, and support those who are seeking recovery from Addiction and/or Mental Health Challenges find it and keep it! We do this primarily through our weekly Open Recovery meeting's that use a Positive Peer Approach to help those seeking Recovery find their true meaning and purpose in life. Taking Back Ohio was started by a few close friends in recovery at the Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center in 2014 and welcomes anyone and everyone seeking Recovery from Mental Health challenges or substance use disorder as well as any supporters. This meeting is unlike any other recovery meeting that you have ever gone to!
>Taking Back Ohio is not a twelve-step meeting, nor is it faith based. We welcome those utilizing MAT as a way of achieving Recovery from SUD and all pathways to Recovery. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! If you are considering living FREE from the bonds of addiction - YOU are welcome here.
******There are Taking Back Ohio meetings popping up across Ohio!******

That’s something worth celebrating!! πŸ™Œ

Connection. Belonging. Friendship. Encouragement. And having people in your corner who genuinely want to see you succeed.

Like so many of us, Branden’s road to recovery hasn’t been easy. There have been challenges along the way, and there’s still plenty of work ahead. But recovery isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about continuing to show up, putting in the work, and taking life one day at a time. πŸ’œ

We’ve been grateful to walk alongside Branden since the beginning of his recovery journey, and we couldn’t be prouder of the progress he’s making!

And there’s even MORE to celebrate!! πŸŽ“πŸ‘

Branden recently GRADUATED from the Kaptur Recovery Services program at the Erie County Health Department!! That’s another accomplishment worth recognizing and another step forward in building a life in recovery!

Branden, we’re proud of you, brother!! We’re grateful you’ve allowed us to be part of your journey, and we look forward to continuing to walk alongside you as you grow, build, and THRIVE in your recovery!! πŸ‘ŠπŸ€
