Ohio recovery housing has grown nearly 400%, new executive order provides more oversight

With recovery housing in Ohio having grown nearly 400% since 2022, concerns have been raised regarding unsanitary conditions and overcrowding at many facilities. In response to these issues, Governor Mike DeWine signed an executive order giving the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health power to create a statewide certification program for operators. This effort aims to strengthen oversight and ensure better protection for individuals depending on recovery services.
