The Ridge

It can be a scary and painful process going through any program I suspect. But The Ridge staff and their support program made it a very compassionate, Informative, and a truly helpful process. The accommodations were excellent. From counseling through the course work and group work, the program Is a fine balance of healing, education and preparation. Every member of the staff from the cooks and the counselors to the doctors and administration, all were genuinely concerned with my overall well-being and recovery. I highly recommend The Ridge for anyone seriously considering changing their future for the better.

My experience with The Ridge Ohio was very positive overall. The staff genuinely cares and creates a supportive environment focused on accountability, growth, and long-term recovery. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the emphasis on understanding “the why” behind behaviors and addiction, not just treating the symptoms. The program also does a great job helping people create real plans for life after treatment, including practical tools for handling challenges and staying on track. Overall, it’s a strong recovery program with caring people and valuable guidance.

After several very challenging attempts to recover in other in-patient treatment programs in this area, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself at The Ridge. I quickly felt seen, heard and safe there, even as I dealt with detox and a slew of unknowns. The program and the staff at The Ridge are truly exceptional as well as the cleanliness, the food and the consistent focused and customized attention to each client during their treatment. I would strongly recommend The Ridge as a place to go to address issues of addiction and reset a course for a healthier, sober way of life.

As owner of Purposeful Path Counseling, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside the team at The Ridge Ohio and have consistently been impressed by the level of care their staff provides. We’ve seen many client success stories come out of their program, supported by a team that is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate. The staff clearly care deeply about the people they serve, and the beautiful, peaceful grounds create an environment that supports meaningful healing and growth. We’re grateful for the work they do and the lives they help change every day. We are proud to work with them!

I’m not sure I’d still be alive if it wasn’t for Mary Jo,, Brandon, and Katie. When I first arrived at the Ridge in late 2025, I learned the hard way that I couldn’t do this on my own. I spent 37 days in treatment and did everything I could to avoid any IOP, PHP, or aftercare that was suggested to me. Less than two month’s later, I found myself back at the Ridge. In mid January 2026 I found myself in the ICU detoxing from substance abuse. As I woke up out of my daze Mary JO was standing above me telling me that she’s going to get me back in and help me get my life back together. This time around was different. I completed 45 days of treatment, PHP, IOP, and transitional living. By listening to the staff and taking their suggestions to heart it has truly saved my life. I want to thank all of the counselors the RSS’s, cooks and all the alumni who come to speak every Tuesday and Saturday. Thanks to Ridge. I have a second chance at life.
