Our government spends millions of dollars to warn us and to find a vaccine that will eliminate disease, yet hundreds of people are dying each day due to an overdose or suicide. We need to unite to build one strong voice of recovery to share the message that mental illness and addictions are biological brain-based diseases - just like any other physical illness and that treatment works and people recover.

Ohio is in the process of building a new Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC). ROSC emphasizes the importance of peer supports, employment supports, sober housing and transportation. It calls for services that are culturally appropriate and delivered in an accountable, effective and efficient manner.The ADAMHS Board of Cuyahoga County is leading this implementation to ensure that Cuyahoga County is healthy, safe, and drug- free, while assuring accountability and effectiveness in client care. We believe that this year’s conference theme builds on the momentum of our community, here in Cuyahoga County and throughout the State, to build strong children, strong families and strong communities that provide crucial prevention services, linkages across systems to improve access to treatment and assist with early intervention as well as to provide resources for recovery support services.
On behalf of our community, thank you for your work, dedication and passion. You continue to improve the lives of individuals living with mental illness and/or addiction through wellness, recovery and independence. Best Wishes, WilliamM. Denihan Chief Executive Officer Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health (ADAMHS) Board of Cuyahoga County
