We are living proof that recovery is possible.
We’ve been where you are.

What we stand for

First Step Recovery and Parkman Recovery Center honors all paths to recovery from drug and alcohol addiction by taking a holistic, patient-centered approach to care.

We understand that recovery is a team effort yet, ultimately, an inside job. How do we know this? Because many of our staff are successfully in recovery themselves. That’s why we can say with confidence that we’re not going to heal you, but we’ll be with you every step of the way to help you heal yourself.

As leading drug and alcohol addiction centers in the state of Ohio, First Step Recovery and Parkman Recovery Center are here to be a constant beacon of light and healing for patients, families and communities affected by the disease of addiction.

Through our affiliation with Travco Behavioral Health, our services also encompass treatment for individuals of all ages who are struggling with mental health disorders, as well as addiction (which are often co-occurring). Travco’s evidence-based services include medicine-assisted treatment for substance dependence.

Patients come to us through self-referral, family / friend referral and doctor / professional recommendation.

Our People

Every person on the First Step Recovery and Parkman Recovery Center's team is a soul on a mission to positively transform the lives of others, our communities, and (as a result) the world. We sincerely want to see our clients get better, and we work tirelessly to make that happen.

Our purpose is felt deeply because some of us on the First Step Recovery team have intimately walked the hard road of addiction and recovery. For this reason, empathy prevails as our guiding rule, and our clients instinctually feel this.

Clinical Staff

Our First Step Recovery and Parkman Recovery Center counseling staffs are comprised of master-level clinicians—including licensed professional clinical counselors and licensed social workers—as well as licensed chemical dependency counselors and assistants.

Through individual and group counseling (in both inpatient and outpatient settings), the staff provides patients with the necessary support for learning about chemical dependency, preventing relapse and facing personal triggers and life issues that contribute to alcoholism and drug addiction. Additionally, the counseling staff helps link patients to appropriate community resources that aid in smoothing their transition from treatment to their daily lives.

Medical Team

Our medical team—which includes board-certified physicians, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and medical assistants—provides expert care that promotes our clients’ success in achieving lifelong recovery.

Success within Our Walls

We are proud that several of our clients so substantially healed their lives that they moved through to work here at First Step Recovery and Parkman Recovery Centers as counselors, nurses, technicians and administrative staff.
