​WHO WE ARE

What We Do
Parkplace Recovery housing is a community of men who are here to help one another through the everyday struggles of addiction. We are individuals with vast experience in, and ties to both residential treatment and recovery housing.  We have been an Ohio Recovery Housing Associate for over six years, and we plan to continue increasing the standard for quality housing.
​
​Focus on individual recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism in a safe, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere. Residents are required to attend support group meetings weekly, and are provided with:
 Access to community resources
· Individualized recovery plans
· Transitional support
· Job and educational referral options
· Access to Peer Recovery Specialists
​"We are not fooled by thinking we are the best. Our only goal is to be better than who we were yesterday and learn from our past mistakes. Hopefully we model that well for our residents in the process."
