Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers, a leading recovery center that has provided behavioral services for 53 years, is proud to announce the expansion of its programs to include specialized services for adolescents age 10+. Recognizing the growing need for early intervention, Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers’ new adolescent-focused offering will provide tailored support for young individuals navigating the challenges of substance use, helping them build a foundation for lifelong recovery.

“Adolescents facing substance use issues need specialized care that meets them where they are in life,” said Melanie J. Blasko, President and CEO of Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers. “By creating dedicated programs for youth, we are not only helping young people but also providing peace of mind and hope for their families. It’s a powerful opportunity to shape futures by offering early effective treatment.” 

The new adolescent services at Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers will include age-appropriate mental health and substance use disorder counseling, designed to address the unique emotional, social, and developmental needs of young people. In addition to individual therapy, Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers will offer family counseling sessions to foster healing and communication among loved ones, ensuring a more holistic approach to recovery. 

Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers provides a wide range of services for individuals and families struggling with substance abuse or addiction, mental health concerns and problem gambling. At every level from prevention to residential recovery services, they offer a message of hope to individuals, families, and the entire community. 

Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers is a private, nonprofit agency providing continuous service to the community since 1971. Services at Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers are made possible due to the generous support of the Lake County ADAMHS Board, the Geauga Board of MHRS, and United Way of Lake & Geauga Counties.
