A Safe Haven for Healing

Ohio Recovery Housing: Setting the Standard for Recovery
Ohio Recovery Housing (ORH) plays a crucial role in the success of organizations like Ignited. As a state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR), ORH is dedicated to ensuring that recovery housing in Ohio meets the highest standards of safety, health, and support. ORH provides certification for recovery residences, like Ignited, ensuring they offer environments conducive to abstinence from alcohol and drugs and support participation in recovery services, such as Medication Assisted Recovery. This partnership between ORH and Ignited ensures that women in recovery have access to the comprehensive care and support they need to rebuild their lives.
The Power of Partnership
Ignited’s success is built on strong partnerships, particularly with Ohio Recovery Housing. ORH’s role in setting standards and providing certification ensures that Ignited’s facilities are not only safe but also effective in supporting long-term recovery. By working closely with ORH, Ignited ensures that the women in their care receive not only a safe place to live but also the tools and support necessary to build a better future. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to providing quality recovery housing that truly makes a difference in the lives of those struggling with addiction.
A Community Effort
The opening of Ignited in Shelby is a significant milestone for Richland County, marking the second Ohio Recovery Housing home in the area. This expansion reflects the growing recognition of the need for quality recovery housing in the community. It also highlights the collaborative spirit of local organizations and the unwavering commitment to providing resources that foster healing and growth. The involvement of ORH in this project ensures that the recovery housing offered by Ignited is of the highest standard, giving women in recovery the best possible chance to succeed.
Celebrating a New Beginning
Monday’s grand opening was not just a celebration of a new building but of the lives that will be transformed within its walls. The event brought together community leaders, supporters, and the dedicated team behind Ignited, all united in their mission to spark hope and provide a fresh start for women in need.
