Building Stronger Communities: UMADAOP Lorain's Circle for Recovery Program
C ircle for Recovery programs (CFRO) play a crucial role in supporting individuals on their journey towards sustained recovery from chemical dependency and fostering positive reintegration into society. Operating within nine Urban Minority Alcohol and Drug Addiction Outreach Programs (UMADAOPs) across Ohio, the Circle for Recovery initiatives aim to prevent relapse of substance use disorders and reduce criminal recidivism, particularly among African- American adult parolees. Relapse prevention services offered by the Circle for Recovery programs encompass a comprehensive range of support mechanisms designed to address the complex needs of individuals transitioning from addiction to recovery. From employment and vocational training to educational opportunities such as GED attainment, health education, relationship counseling, peer support, violence prevention, and crisis intervention services, CFRO programs are structured to provide holistic and tailored assistance to participants. The inception of the original six Circles for Recovery programs in State Fiscal Year 2002 marked a significant milestone in the provision of specialized support for individuals grappling with substance use disorders in Hamilton, Lorain, Lucas, Montgomery, Richland, and Trumbull
