About Lake Geauga Recovery Centers Inc
Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers Inc. has served Northeast Ohio’s Lake and Geauga counties since 1971, making it one of the region’s longest-running behavioral health non-profits. The agency operates from a hub at 209 Center Street in Chardon, with additional outpatient locations in Painesville and Mentor, and dedicated recovery housing at Oak House and Lake House.
Levels of care span ambulatory detox, residential treatment at the agency’s housing programs, traditional outpatient services, intensive outpatient (IOP), and recovery housing. Medication-assisted treatment is offered for opioid and alcohol use disorders, and the agency is actively expanding its Dual Diagnosis Program and psychiatric evaluation services in response to community need. Specialized programming includes a problem gambling treatment track, family programming, anger management intervention, grief support, and a Drug Free Safety Program for workplace referrals.
The agency’s documented populations are wide: adolescents, young adults, men, women, Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients, court-ordered admissions, and families. The clinic publicly identifies as LGBTQ+ friendly. Conditions treated include substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health concerns, problem gambling, and tobacco use. Counseling is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy and supplemented by family, grief, and intervention-style modalities.
Financially, Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay. The agency’s website includes a Medicaid Eligibility Services page, reflecting an explicit commitment to helping clients access coverage. CARF accreditation is documented in SAMHSA’s directory, and the program has continuously served the community for over five decades.
