PROVIDING HOPE

Formerly known as the ADAMH Board, the Medina County Mental Health & Recovery Board’s (MHRB) mission is to decrease stigma and provide hope for a better life by assuring the availability of high-quality services in the areas of mental health, substance use, and recovery support to all Medina County residents through planning, purchasing cost effective services to the extent resources are available, coordinating, and evaluating these services.

The MHRB has invested in a wide and diverse array of services and programming through our contracted provider agencies. Alternative Paths and OhioGuidestone are the largest community-based behavioral health agencies funded by the MHRB, and their mix of services offers a wide choice of mental health, substance use, and recovery support services.

Catholic Charities provides senior case management services to individuals aged 60 and over, as well as mental health and substance use counseling for all ages. Hope Recovery Community (HRC) (including Cathy’s House) provides a continuum of peer and recovery support services as well as certified recovery houses that provide Level 1 and Level 2 men’s recovery housing beds. Additionally, the MHRB owns and funds the Discovery Recovery House, a certified Level 3 recovery house for women. The MHRB also owns and funds the Youth Resiliency & Counseling Center, a state-of-the-art trauma-informed counseling center with a variety of creative rooms: a sand room, art room, playroom, a calming room, full kitchen, playground, and more. The Medina County MHRB also funds numerous other initiatives in Medina County, which range from early childhood mental health services, behavioral health support at the Children’s Center of Medina County, permanent supportive housing for residents with serious mental illness, crisis services for all ages, and prevention programming for schools, all the way through jail services, and programming for senior citizens, to ensure a comprehensive array of services for residents.
