About Racing for Recovery

Racing for Recovery is an addiction and mental health facility in Holland, Ohio that focuses on helping adults avoid substance use and abuse by instead focusing on a lifestyle of fitness and health.

While the facility is currently seeking to expand their coverage options, they only accept Ohio Medicaid as an insurance provider right now according to their website.

Offering Holistic Compassionate Care in Holland Since 2001

Racing for Recovery seeks to empower individuals to live healthier and more fulfilling lives by integrating the best possible care and support with proven holistic treatment methods. The facility seeks to treat the whole person physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially.

First, interested individuals will undergo an intervention or assessment to determine their needs. If you’ve been court-ordered to undergo an assessment, then Racing for Recovery will ensure the assessment meets all the legal requirements.

Depending on your support needs, you may be recommended for individual or group counseling. In counseling, you’ll receive tailored support to help you identify the root cause of your addiction and take control of your recovery process.

The facility offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for focused therapy sessions and additional educational wellness programs that focus on developing coping strategies and learning healthy habits.

Unique Focus on Fitness and Healthy Lifestyles in Lucas County

PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR RECOVERY I can’t say enough good things about Todd Crandell and Racing for Recovery. Racing was the first real treatment center I attended. I had been to The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center before, but that is very different from treatment centers and not part of this review. I first came to Racing in 2023 and I am back in 2026 after learning hard lessons in other treatment centers. After leaving Racing the first time, I worked at two treatment centers and was also a client at another. Most of them say they are different, but in reality, they are very similar. In many treatment centers, groups are loosely run. People are often on their phones, talking during group, vaping, or leaving multiple times during a session. Staff are generally not well prepared and do not consistently enforce structure. Racing for Recovery is not like that. It is structured, consistent, and focused on accountability. Clients are expected to participate fully and take recovery seriously. That level of structure makes a real difference in outcomes. One of the biggest benefits of Racing is the consistency. Expectations do not constantly shift, and the environment does not allow for a lot of distractions or “checking out” mentally. It creates a setting where people can actually focus on recovery instead of just going through the motions. The staff are involved and truly care about client well-being. I cannot say the same for many other places. I am not saying there are not good people working in other treatment centers, but this has been my experience. Another benefit is the culture. At Racing, there is a strong sense of accountability and peer support. Clients are around others who are also serious about change, which helps create a more focused environment. In many other programs, there is a wider mix of motivation levels, which can make it harder for people who are trying to stay serious about recovery. A common issue I have seen across many programs is how discharge planning and employment timelines are handled. Clients are typically given about 90 days to find work and housing, which is understandable. The issue is that clients are usually in PHP level of care at first and only begin job searching once they move to IOP. I have also seen this first-hand while working in treatment centers. In level-of-care meetings, the case manager, group facilitators, and therapist may all agree that a client is ready to step up to IOP so they can begin working and preparing for discharge. However, I have also seen situations where higher-level staff review insurance and determine the client can be approved for two more weeks of PHP. In those cases, the decision is often tabled despite the clinical team’s recommendation. I have seen this happen many times. This delay can leave clients without enough time to secure work or housing, which increases the risk of relapse or having to restart treatment. I have seen both outcomes. I hope this helps someone who is serious about recovery. Racing is a structured and disciplined program, but it offers real opportunity, accountability, consistency, and support that I have not found elsewhere.

This is a mixed review, so read till the end. The staff? Amazing. Very kind, caring and extremely dedicated while maintaining professionalism. Housing? Also phenomenal. Very clean and spacious. It’s like your own hotel with 1 roommate. Here’s where my sole issue lies- The curriculum. The groups are daunting. 3 LONG required groups a day and they are unbearably repetitive. Clients talking about their personal lives / beliefs for hours. If you don’t like public speaking, you will not benefit much. I would have liked to learn about addiction itself, the way it affects the brain, the science behind it, honestly anything would have more interesting and beneficial to me than the open daily discussions on other peoples personal trauma. I learn better from a teacher vs. a peer whose story I may not relate to. However, I realize some people are the opposite and the counselors are just trying to help everyone. They will bend over backwards for you. It also seems as if they deter people from working / moving forward with life as most seem to stay 1-2 years with no real movement or plan towards venturing out of the protective bubble. I did not know this going into it, but working a job is not allowed until after 90 days, which they make very difficult because there is a mandatory group in the middle of the day. My final take is this facility is a good one, but it is built for people who don’t have responsibilities, bills or families to take care of. People who want INTENSIVE long term support. 90 days minimum- and if that’s for you, then I highly recommend it.

This place has become a huge part of my life! From day one I knew and felt the difference. The approach and kindness I received from the staff and peers over the years has made Racing for Recovery feel more like a family, rather than a rehabilitation center. I can honestly say that Racing for Recovery has changed my life. Since stepping foot into the center, I have been able to make this my recovery, not a forced recovery with time restrictions. It just feels different here, it's hard to describe unless you've actually accepted the process and decide to work on yourself with the guidance of wonderful human beings. I have have the upmost love and respect for anyone I was able to share my experiences with here. Genuine kind understanding people is what I want to surround myself with, and I found that here.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Rehab aftercare programs are designed to ensure clients receive continuing care while in the maintenance phase of recovery. Some clients may be in outpatient treatment, which is generally considered to be an element of drug rehab aftercare. The specific services provided in these programs are often determined by the client's case manager and care team in consultation with the client. Common services include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction.

Intervention services help family members prepare for a drug intervention in Ohio. During an intervention, family members typically read letters they have prepared that explain how the individual's substance abuse has affected their lives and relationships. Each family member also explains what they will do if the individual does not agree to get treatment. An intervention specialist offers support to guide this discussion and makes appropriate treatment recommendations.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Ohio provides comprehensive treatment to address the physical and psychological needs of those struggling with substance use disorders. This may involve inpatient and/or outpatient care.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Experiential therapy in Ohio is a hands on intervention method that focuses on doing and feeling. The method is client centered and tailored to the individual's interests. It may include drama therapy, animal assisted therapy, martial arts, or wilderness therapy.
