RIO will hold a place in my heart forever. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was welcomed and surrounded by care, love, and support. I met some of the most amazing people I will ever meet, clients and staff. They helped me on a new path of life. Recovery, sobriety, and hope. They showed me that this life IS possible. ❤️

From the moment I walked through the doors for intake, I felt a genuine sense of care and commitment to my recovery. Every step of the journey—from detox to housing, daily activities, and therapy—was thoughtfully designed and supported by a team of truly engaged and compassionate individuals.
The staff at Recovery Institute of Ohio didn’t just do their jobs—they invested in my success. Their dedication, encouragement, and willingness to walk alongside me through the laughs, the tears, and the hard moments made all the difference.
I also found something I didn’t expect: fellowship. The connections built within the program and the immersion into the Sandusky sober community gave me a sense of belonging and hope. Another unexpected but life-changing part of the process was learning how to have fun while sober—through group outings, activities, and shared experiences that reminded me life can be joyful without substances.
I was so deeply impacted that I made the decision to move to Sandusky permanently—to stay close to the recovery community and maintain the connection with the RIO staff who helped change my life.
This place isn’t just about getting clean; it’s about building a life rooted in love, accountability, and long-term recovery. I’m forever grateful to RIO for their passion, their belief in me, and the foundation they helped me build for lasting sobriety.

Very helpful in many areas concerning mental health.
Having an outside ear to bend is at times easier than talking to someone in your circle.
Have learned to deal with my Anxiety, PTSD, and associative disorder.
Some things that those close to me just really couldn’t understand.
Have been to some of the group sessions and those have been very helpful on many levels.
I have recommended this place to others. I don’t know if any of them have taken that first step or not.

I had a small (HUGE) problem with Bayshore a few years back that even resulted in policy change but since then with staffing upgrades the place is awesome. My therapist Chelsea is hands down the best in the industry. I've been in therapy for over 30 years and never made the personal growth I have experienced with my team at Bayshore. They. Eat the other local option, Firelands, alive.
I would have given 5 stars but I hold resentments for my incident there, but I'll add that to the list of things I need to work on.
