About Family Recovery Center – Lisbon
Known for its role in the American Civil War, Lisbon, Ohio is home to Family Recovery Center. Since 1973, this organization has provided outpatient treatment for addiction and mental health conditions. Adults and adolescents can participate in comprehensive care to reach their recovery goals.
With outpatient rehab, you can live at home and tend to daily responsibilities while getting the help you need. They offer intensive and traditional programs to meet you where you are in recovery.
You can access proven therapeutic interventions, including individual and group sessions, medication assisted treatment (MAT), relapse prevention, and anger management. With these approaches, you can build essential coping skills and change the behaviors contributing to substance abuse.
What stands out most to me is their Project DAWN program. This network of harm reduction programs offers opioid overdose education. You can access weekly community training. They even distribute naloxone, a life saving opioid overdose reversal medication. You’ll benefit from recognizing the signs of opioid overdose and learning how to help someone in need.
Another great notable feature was their Steering Clear program. If you have a first time operating a vehicle under the influence offense, you can participate in this 72 hour residential program as an alternative to jail. They combine education, evaluation, and group discussions to help you understand the risks of driving under the influence and the next steps to take if you have a substance use disorder.
I also think their emphasis on family support is effective. They understand that addiction is a familial disease and that your loved ones are vital in your recovery journey. They provide a family night for your loved ones to learn more about recovery. You can also participate in parenting classes to gain the tools to strengthen your family unit.
