Healing Roots Run Deep in Rootstown
A fresh start grows just a short drive from home
When addiction takes hold, it can feel like you’re stuck in mud with no way out. The truth is, real help is closer than most folks in Rootstown realize. At Ray Recovery, we believe every person deserves a fair shot at building a life free from drugs and alcohol. Our drug rehab in Rootstown Ohio, service area gives local families a place to turn when things feel too heavy to carry alone. We don’t treat you like a number or a chart. We treat you like a neighbor, because that’s what you are. From the farmlands near Tallmadge Road to the busy stretches near NEOMED, our team is ready to meet you wherever you stand and help you take that next step forward, one day at a time.
A Quiet Town With Big Heart and Big Needs
Where rural roads meet real recovery options
Rootstown sits right in the middle of Portage County, surrounded by farmland, small businesses, and tight-knit neighborhoods. Home to Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED), this township has a unique mix of country charm and medical-minded folks. State Route 44 runs through the heart of town, and most families know each other by name. The schools, the diners, and the fields give Rootstown its small-town feel.
But even quiet places have loud problems. Opioids, alcohol, and meth have crept into homes across Portage County, leaving parents worried and spouses heartbroken. That’s why addiction treatment in Rootstown, OH, matters more than ever. Our team at Ray Recovery knows what local families face, and we work hard to be a steady source of help. Whether you live near the Rootstown Town Hall, out toward Atwater, or closer to the Ravenna line, you deserve care that treats your whole self.
Services Built Around Your Real Life
Care that fits your schedule, not the other way around
We know folks in Rootstown have jobs, kids, farms, and bills. That’s why our outpatient model lets you get the help you need while still showing up for everything else that matters. Here’s a look at the programs we offer to people in your area.
Our PHP track gives you strong, daily care without staying overnight. You spend several hours each day working with therapists and counselors, then head home in the evening. It’s a great option for anyone needing serious structure to start their recovery the right way.
The IOP near Rootstown offers a mix of group sessions, individual therapy, and skill-building. You’ll come in a few days a week while keeping up with work or family duties. It’s flexible enough to fit busy lives but solid enough to make lasting change.
For folks who can’t drive in every time, our virtual IOP brings therapy right to your living room. Whether you’re caring for kids, working long shifts, or living out in the country, you can still get top-notch care through your screen.
Many people struggling with addiction also deal with anxiety, depression, or trauma. Treating just the substance use leaves half the picture untouched. Our dual diagnosis care looks at both sides, so healing sticks.
Alcohol rehab in Rootstown doesn’t have to mean leaving your life behind. Our alcohol program helps folks step away from drinking while staying connected to home, work, and family.
Programs for Specific Groups
We run focused tracks for men, women, veterans, and working professionals. Each group has its own pressures, and our care reflects that.
Therapy Methods That Bring Lasting Change
Proven approaches shaped around each Rootstown client
Our clinical team blends evidence-based therapies that have stood the test of time with hands-on experience from years of treating folks across Northeast Ohio. No two recovery paths look the same, so the methods we use bend and shift based on what each person walks in with.
helps people spot the thinking traps that lead back to drugs or alcohol, then swaps those patterns out for stronger habits that hold up under pressure.
hands clients real tools for handling stress, riding out hard emotions, and making solid choices when life gets messy.
shows folks how to face tough feelings without reaching for a substance, while keeping their eyes on goals that truly matter to them.
gently works through past pain that often sits at the root of addiction, moving at a speed that feels safe and steady for each client.
EMDR Therapy

This amazing place showed me a new way to live .. abstinent free of all drugs and alcohol...And it wasn't just the PHP and IOP classes, it was the incredible staff in Housing and the awesome guys I have the privilege to call my brother's.

I have been to many other facilities in other states but this has been a good experience for me. They gave me the tools and peace of mind and let me run with it! I recommend this program to anyone who is willing to give sobriety a try and turn their life around!
Angela L.
I am a current client in the IOP women’s program and if it were not for a certain staff member coming and rescuing me off of the streets of Akron I would be dead right now. This place has given me a reason to wake up every day and want to fight this battle of addiction that I’ve been suffering with since I was 15 years old. I’ve never felt more loved and wanted by staff members ever in my life and I’ve been to a lot of different treatment centers in my 41 years. The opportunities for growth and development this place has given me can not be measured. I have never before been able to look in the mirror and honestly say that I love myself. Today I can look in my eyes and see life, motivation and true inner beauty that has come from the women in this program loving me until I was able to love myself. I will never be able to express enough gratitude for what I’ve been given. Thank you God for sending these guardian angels to save my life on July 8,2026

Ray's Recovery has truly changed my life. When I came into the program, I was struggling with addiction and wasn't sure what my future would look like. The staff and people at Ray's Recovery welcomed me without judgment and gave me the support, guidance, and encouragement I needed to stay on the right path. Through this program, I have learned how to live a healthy and productive life in recovery. I've built positive relationships, gained confidence, and developed the tools needed to handle life's challenges without turning back to addiction. The support doesn't stop after treatment—they genuinely care about helping people succeed long-term. Because of Ray's Recovery, I have hope for my future and am living a much better life today. I am grateful for everything they have done for me and would highly recommend Ray's Recovery to anyone seeking help and a second chance at life.🙏❤️JORACHEL

The counselors and staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping each person succeed in their recovery journey. The program provided me with valuable coping skills, accountability, and the confidence to build a healthier future. The supportive environment and sense of community made a huge difference in my recovery. I am incredibly grateful for everything Ray Recovery has done for me and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking help with addiction and recovery

Rays recovery is a amazing program the things that I learned here was different types of coping skills. Such as ("active listening, stop & think, rewind the tape back"). Not only did I just learn coping skills but I also learned meditation skills. Such as ("deep breathing, box breathing, light & sound meditation therapy") and those both things I use everyday. With rays recovery they will celebrate your sobriety with a coin. When you graduate from tbs to iop they will celebrate you with a certificate and goodies. Also rays recovery is a group type program so you will be with others and it will help you to be able to socialize more especially if you are like I am and dont like to talk in front of others because I think people will judge me or think of me some type of way but it helped me get over that fear and many more fears also. Such as: ("communication skills, talking around and to others, expressing myself, being myself, being around others") i appreciate rays recovery everyday for all of the amazing things they have given me and how to adapt everyday, how to schedule, plan head, set big & little goals, achieve those goals, save money, stop gambling, & etc.... thank you so much Ray Recovery & thank you for the facilitators ("victor, ray, Michelle, Patrick, tamera, tori, ed which isnt here anymore") & the Peer-Support which rays recovery has the most amazing Peer-Supports ("Ray, John, tori, Sherri, Lindsey, Ed which isnt here anymore") & thank you for all of the amazing staff ("Sam, Hailey, perry, & many more") & my counselor Allison i thank all of you for everything that you helped me with & taught me while I was at rays recovery. Thanks For Everything!!!!!

Rays recovery is an amazing place if you are really serious about getting recovery. Michelle is the most hard working, dedicated, goal driven employee. She's helped with so much from getting clothing vouchers to snap benefits. I wouldn't recommend going anywhere but rays recovery if your serious about getting your life together.
Zachary K.
Very well organized and all the staff here wonderful! They go above n beyond to attend to our needs! Ms.Michelle always steps up to help! I will plant my feet here!
Michelle D.
I came to ray recovery completely broken from my disease of addiction. I have lost everyone I love so deeply, my life as I knew it was gone,my husband,my 3 sons,my grandaughter, my network of good friends. My trauma was unrepairable!!! After 3 months of being in rays, my trauma is no longer trauma. My life has completely changed, I have so much faith,forgiveness,and most of all I have my life back. They have such a great network of very experienced counselors, therapists and emdr treatment. I highly recommend this rehab. If u are broken beyond repair this is the place that will help. I have been to two places before this one, then I asked God to put me somewhere he can help me and he put me here. They truly care and I am forever greatful.. Michelle day.😉😇

Jessica S.
"Ray Recovery helped me biuld the foundation I needed for long-term sobriety. Their programs (like PHP and IOP) provide a great balance of challenge and support. I walked away with practical coping skills and a personalized plan that actually works in the real world. I am especially grateful fot the [CBT/DBT/trauma-informed] therapy that helped me address the root of my addiction."
T J.
Love love love this place highly recommended
Anthony T.
I first want to say how proud of myself I am for graduating Ray Recovery(PHP/IOP Programming) And I mention me being proud of myself because prior to coming to Ray I had lost the ability of being proud of anything I found myself engaged in let alone completing. And I'm sure it was due to a lot of resentments I was unable to let go of. But because of Ray, and the professional staff they have in place Dan,Dylan, Michele, Trish,Tori,Brandy,and the powerful peer-support team my life has been Restored. Thanks Ray Recovery and to ALL!! your staff who have helped me take this step in not just my recovery but MY LIFE!! 💯🙏🏽🙌🏾✌🏾
charlyda W.
Rays Recovery has a fun, family atmosphere. I never would've of imagined the doors the would open for me, and the journey that I would take at Rays during my Sobriety. Great staff, caring, kind, and trust worthy. The ladies, I encountered I will forever remember and hold dear to my heart. If you are ready to surrender and began growth, this is the place for you. It's not your regular recovery place, It offers so much more, You don't want to miss out, on what I've grown to know. You'll be very comfortable is a home away from home!
Kristin S.
Ray Recovery is an incredible resource for individuals working toward lasting recovery. Programs like this play a critical role in providing structure, accountability, and support for people rebuilding their lives, and it’s clear that Ray Recovery truly understands that mission. The environment they’ve created is welcoming, respectful, and focused on helping individuals develop the tools they need to succeed long-term. What really stands out is the sense of community and the genuine commitment to each person who walks through the door. Recovery isn’t easy, and having a place that offers encouragement, guidance, and consistency can make all the difference. Ray Recovery is doing meaningful work and making a real impact in the lives of the people they serve.
Winston J.
THE STAFF IS AWESOME HERE, THEIR CARING AND CONCERNS ARE VERY GENUINE. YOU ARE A PART OF A FAMILY THAT'S ALL IN ON YOUR RECOVERY AND WELL BEING. THE COUNSELORS ARE THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. HOUSING IS VERY CLEAN AND SAFE. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE WAS COMING TO RAY'S. YOU WANT A PLACE WHERE YOU AND YOUR RECOVERY IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST? GIVE RAY'S A CALL (YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!)
Ryan
I can't express how grateful I am for Ray Recovery. If you are serious about picking up the pieces of your shattered life and freeing yourself from alcohol and drug addiction, this is the place to be. The staff truly cares and make you feel welcome every day, the counselors provide tools to recovery and then you are shown how to use them. This place will change your life for the better and allow you a safe place to work on yourself!
Megan M.

Iv'e been a client at Rays Recovery for a month now and I also live in their housing.I was uneasy at 1st but Sam and Tessa are phenomenal they answered any and all my questions. They were extremely helpful and made me feel very welcomed! Perry did my intake she was very thorough and didn't overwhelm me. She showed me around and introduced me. I met Dan the CO who was very kind and compassionate about what he does.He's dedicated in his position at Rays Recovery which is very comforting for me. Trish,Bo,Starletta and Michelle are women Iv'e worked with there so far and they are so compassionate,kind and invested in helping people save their lives. My counselor Ms.Barb is amazing she cares about my recovery she takes the time to listen and helps me see things in a new light. Living in the recovery housing is amazing I never imagined I could make it my safe place! Mary Jo my house manager is awesome she cares she listens totally invested in her girls in the house. Iv'e been very welcomed in the house. She has worked hard to make it look like we are at home very comfy and cozy, I couldn't ask for a better team in my corner while working on saving my own life. ;

Holley L.
Since coming to Ray recovery I have felt at home for the first time in 3 years , I am able to focus on myself work on my recovery and build healthy relationships and make better decisions for myself. The staff is absolutely amazing they actually care about our treatment needs. They welcomed me with open arms. My house manager Mary Jo has gone above and beyond to make sure me and the other women in the house felt like family during the holidays. She's the best . The clinical staff and councilors make themselves available through out the day I can just pop my head in when I've had an issue or felt the need to talk . I love this place . I've been in recovery for the past 8 months and have relapsed a few times before coming into this program and I feel like this one is the perfect place to be successful at being clean ..
Rob R.
This place is life changing. The staff is second to none. Will, Trish, Ed, Dan, Tess, Michelle, Jeremy, Tre, Torry, Amp, I could go on and on. From housing to clinical. If they can get me right they definitely can get you right.

Ava M.
Ray recovery has saved my life. I have never been to a program so professional and open armed for any and everybody. The receptionist reached out to me personally after I submitted an application on the website within a day. When I was at my lowest, the receptionist (Tessa) sat on the phone with me for an extended period of time to reassure me of the program. I have never felt such love from a group of individuals. When walking through the doors the first time I was hugged and loved despite not knowing eachother at all. I was catered too individually to a program that worked for me. Their sober living is beautiful, ran extraordinarily, and most of all felt like home immediately. House management cares so much about their people. Their clinical programs are the same. Wonderful counseling , I've been in counseling all my life. I can genuinely say I've never had a team so involved, efficient, and loving in a program like Ray Recovery has been. It has been proven to me that I am safe here. I am loved here. Ray Recovery has given me a new chance at life. They truly have set me up for greatness and I'm so blessed to have found this program. So if you are in the position I was, scrolling through treatment centers trying to decide. I recommend to the highest degree. They saved me ! Please come you are welcomed and loved here. We do recover!! Thanks so much rays ☀️
Ben H.
I love this place they have helped and taught me how to be sober and get a job. I'm thankful of everything they've done for everyone here thank you

Ryeguy
Ray recovery is amazing. The staff and the clients are fully engaged in helping with every situation I’ve had. All the problems I faced since being in this program have all been accomplished by the suggestions I’ve taken from the staff. The facilitators have all walked in our shoes and have life experience. They give not only to show that hard work and the program works, but also to help with any needs you might have. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall. It’s about how you get up. In saying that I have literally been to every facility in the north east area Up until 2025. Ray Recovery to me surpasses each and every one of them and I am proud to be a client at this facility. I would highly recommend this program as I do to any family friends strangers and so on. Huge shout out to Ray Recovery and thank you all very much.
Michael F.
I would like to deeply thank Ray Recovery from the bottom of my heart. While no other centers would take me because of insurance issues, rays worked with me and guided me on a clear route to take so I could start treatment. Almost immediately I was linked with a phenomenal counselor, and even more importantly, a case manager who helped me navigate through the wreckage of my past and get my license back, obtain a vehicle legally, get back to work and start fighting for custody of my daughter. I've been to a few treatment centers in my past.... by far Ray's has been the most effective and helpful.
JC
It was the best sober living program I've experienced, very clean and structured and all the staff very nice and professional people accept for 1 individual staff lady that has a tyrant, correctional officer ego and needs to be re-evaluated for her practice there. But other than that yes it's a great place to go to to get clean and too recover and on the right road to building or rebuilding your life.
Tracie G.
Wonderful organization!! Have helped so many put their lives back together
Missy D.
I would recommend everyone that is either Court ordered or feels in anyway hopeless in addiction. They are dedicated to helping anyone who walks in the building. It doesn't matter what addiction you are struggling with this is the place to come. It's welcoming organized to determine which process matches your personal needs. The staff is great and I can't believe how much they have helped me in My journey to a better life 🤗
Iris L.
Ray recovery is a great place with great peer support and counseling ❤️ they have a lot to offer and will get you to where you need in to be in your recovery journey ❤️

My inner Joy and purpose in myself and in my life the housing and clinical are fire they are always there to help direct me. In life and personal relationships. Ray recovery has been a major impact in the process of getting back to me thank you Ray recovery so MUCH...

Charles B.
This place literally saved my life I would recommend this to anyone the number one counselor Dylan when above and beyond to help me get through my addiction, I now have been clean for 13 months I could not have done this without Ray recovery. This is your recovery it is a selfish journey but believe me you can do it with the help and excellent instructors. They teach you all the tools to succeed it’s your time to get serious and get clean. I thank everyone at Ray for giving me strength when I thought I couldn’t do it BUT I DID, you owe it to yourself, to fo to a place THAT TRULY CARES
Jade G.
Life changing program, would recommend to anyone and everyone. I’ve been here 5 months and would stay 5 more if I could. Everyone is SO kind and truly has impacted me in different ways on their own. From the Sandtray, to Counseling, to groups, PLEASE come here to be genuinely cared about. You are not just a number here, you are a person, you matter, and they make SURE you know that. I love this program. Ray’s is such a blessing.
Jason H.
I really want to come here, because I’ve heard so many good things about this place. I’ve really had a bad experience with rehabs here in Columbus. I feel like the first one I’ve been to expects so much out of you for literally just coming off of drugs. The one I’m at has really bad communication and I’m missing house meetings and little stuff because of it. I was told not to come where I’m at and I see why now after a week of being here. I know it takes being uncomfortable to grow in ways but being on the west side of Columbus with some of the people I’m around in this apartment complex really make me feel like I want to stay in my room to myself. My first impression I didn’t even want to get out the car because I thought I was at the wrong place. I’m doing everything in my power out here to just stay sober. One of my house mates screams at his phone everyday. My residential manager is never here and doesn’t do what he’s supposed to. The kitchen smells foul. I’m waiting on my food stamps card to get to the rehab I just left and feel like I have to wait to do anything until I get them. I don’t have a whole house with me but I have a good 3 trash bags of clothes, cleaning supplies, hygiene items, a little food, and a 32 inch tv. I’m on parole and just got switched from Perry county to Franklin county and scared to switch again. I got 4-5 months left on parole. I got a storage unit with the rest of my stuff that’s 65$ a month that I have no way of paying in 2 weeks and that weighs heavy on my head. A phone bill my dad makes me pay more than I’m supposed to and that’s 100$ a month. I have no job and no money. God knows I’ve been trying so hard. I would do anything to come here. The people I’ve heard from tell me how amazing this place is and the extra mile they go for you and it’s exactly what i need for my recovery and I know that. You can just tell by the website and the google reviews alone how nice and well put together this place is. I would do anything to come here. I even heard they take you on field trips! It would mean the world to me to feel welcome and be able to focus properly. I’ve never been to this rehab, but I highly recommend this place to people that want to do better. I know I went on about my situation, but it’s just some of what a lot of us go through and It’s so difficult to manage life and recovery when you have so much on your shoulders. I know this place will help the people who need it the right way. I wholeheartedly believe that!

I have never met such a kind woman, as Teri, from Ray Recovery. We needed help with a loved one and she didn't hesitate to assist us in every aspect of addiction. She worked with us 24/7 to get the help we needed. If you have a loved one battling the demons of addiction, I cannot recommend Ray Recovery enough. God Bless them for all that they do.

When it comes to treatment/recovery I’d trust Ray Recovery with my life. This place truly embodies the efforts and willingness to help those who truly want help. I have never met a staff with such a passion and knowledge for what they are trying yo achieve. I can honestly say I had absolute no complaints in the time I’ve spent with Ray. From councilors to House Management the people here are truly amazing. Brandi and her whimsical personality simply radiates joy. Her ability to get you out of your comfort zone and try new things and provide different avenues for your recovery journey is beautiful. Tori and her casual personality makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Trish and her tough love and ability to command respect as well as always giving it to you straight, giving you what you NEED to hear. Wills ability to challenge your comments and statements and keep a discussion strong and help you look at things from different perspective. All of these people have given me things I didn’t even know I needed and the tools to truly do well and prosper in my recovery. Each and every house manager is understanding and communicate very well with a desire and drive to assist you in any way possible. It’s thanks to all of these people led by an incredible guy in Dan that have given me the confidence to attack my addiction and seek a better life for myself. Ray Recovery TRULY cares for the people who walk through their doors and will give all they can to see you do well. Because they wish only for you to do well. It has been an honor being able to work the program with this facility and I will always be grateful for everything every single soul has done for me in this program. I whole heartedly and genially will miss this amazing program. 10/10 I know where I’ll be going if I relapse.(which I don’t see happening thanks to the tools and knowledge they provided)

This was the best counseling experience I’ve ever had. I’ve been through many different programs, and Ray Recovery stands out as the best so far. Michelle truly took the time to understand my issues and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I will genuinely miss my sessions with her and the entire Ray Recovery staff. I highly recommend this place to anyone struggling with substance abuse.

So far my experience has been very inspiring . The staff has been extremely helpful in helping me to cope with past traumas and learning how to set boundaries to stop over extending myself to really focus on recovery so I can get spiritually fit! There's no judgement in this program only love! Theres not gonna be any "participation" trophies given YOU WILL have to earn them but when you do you will beable to enjoy the joy of your recovery process! I've never been in a place where I feel so safe and supported in such a therapeutic environment!

Brandi Perkins is the best counselor and peer supporter in the state of Ohio. She brought me out of my shell. She showed me that recovery can be a blast. Believed in me when I was facing adversity. Plus, she is literally the nicest human being I have ever met. Having a friend like her makes you feel like the richest person in the world. She is a superstar 🤩

I have to give all the credit in the world to Ray recovery. My life before coming to Ray recovery was a literal hell. The last relapse I had absolutely destroyed my life. I lost everything and everybody that I loved. It was a bottom that I've never reached before and it hurt like hell and brought me to the edge of taking my own life. I was so sick of hurting people, I was tired of the cycle that I had been in for so many years. It had to stop or I was going to end up 6 ft deep from either the drugs or my own hands. When I first got to Ray I was so angry with myself for the life that I had thrown away, I was angry with myself for ruining my relationship with a wonderful woman. . I was angry for hurting my family again and them having to worry about me dying everyday. But with the help from my counselor Dylan, the CEO Dan, the house manager Mitch and caseworker Brandy along with the rest of the Ray staff, I was able to start healing from the damage I had done to myself and was given another chance at life. I no longer hate to wake up and dread the day ahead. I will succeed in my future and get my life back, and it will all be because I was given the tools and support from the staff at Ray. From the bottom of my heart I thank you guys. I'll forever have love for the Ray staff. 🤙🤙❤️

Ray Recovery was a truly amazing experience. Torry and Dylan were incredible, and they truly care about your journey with recovery. Even on my worst days I could rely on Ray and the program to get me back on track. Thanks so much for being there for me, and all the others struggling with addiction. One day at a time.
Michael P.
Before I came into Ray recovery my life was on its way to death. My disease has been damaging every aspect of my life to the point where I was completely hopeless. Thanks to Ray recovery I was able to LIVE in a safe environment with like minded people just like me that actually understood me. The group therapy was amazing and very time consuming but it’s what I needed. The individual counselor Dylan literally picked me up from my home at a time of despair and took me to live at Sunrise sober house. He actually cares about his clients and I felt it. It was a game changer to have someone like that in my corner. Now I’m in IOP and actually have a sponsor and I’m still at Sunrise. The PHP program was excellent and I didn’t want to leave but my insurance wouldn’t pay for it anymore after 2 months. I’m hoping to stay for atleast 3 more months because I love the people with me and the actual treatment I receive makes me feel like I have a future. A future sober and drug free, where I can love me son and spouse and actually have friends again. I can’t thank you enough Dylan and Ray Recovery you’ve helped me save me life!!
Jeremy M.
I truly enjoyed my recovery experience at Ray Recovery. My counselors Dylan, Michele and the rest of the staff genuinely care about every client and put their heats into everything they do. They absolutely helped me in so many ways and truly are amazing at what they do. Also the culture they create at the facility and the sober house is second to none. Thank you.

I’ve been participating in IOP at Ray since November 2024 and it’s been a great experience so far. Tori, Dylan and Dan have all been great to work with and are very supportive. The services I’ve received have been really helpful in my recovery.
