What does recovery look like?
A recovering person has accepted the realities of
their disease and has taken personal responsibility
for his or her life. Taking personal responsibility
will involve not only abstinence, but also efforts to
become a fully functioning, independent person
who is working to heal broken relationships,
addressing continuing emotional, health and
spiritual issues, and using their experiences to
help others. There are many, many people in
long-term recovery who are making a significant
contribution to their family, employer, church, and
community.
The Counseling Center, Inc. is licensed by the
Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction
Services, and has a national certification from
CARF (Commission on the Accreditation of

Counseling Center’s programs are following
certain best practices and standards, and is subject

Nick Ferrara is The Counseling
