Whether you have completed a formal addiction recovery program, or are looking for resources to better understand addiction, there are several addiction recovery meetings and support groups in the Ohio area that you can visit for emotional support and guidance.
For the addict, post-treatment addiction support groups help maintain community support, motivation to remain sober and help maintain positive coping skills. Our alumni group at Lumiere Healing Centers of Ohio meets every Saturday to bring together recovering alumni members. Together, they share their collective experience to bolster continued success as they traverse the road to long-term recovery.
Support groups offer a safe space to be able to discuss what you’re thinking, feeling and experiencing. It is often said that the purpose of a support group is to identify, not compare. By identifying, we are able to help share our collective experience, strength and hope. Addiction support groups help to bring individuals out of isolation and into the loving arms of a community who cares and understands the issues you’re facing.
There are many varieties of recovery meetings and support groups in Ohio. Here is a comprehensive listing of support group meetings in Ohio that might serve you:
Recovery Meetings for Alcohol and Drug Addiction in Ohio

SMART Recovery
SMART Recovery stands for “Self-Management and Recovery Training”. The premise of this specific addiction recovery track is to offer an alternative method for reaching long-term recovery when traditional tracks have failed, like 12-step based programs. Their mantra is, “Working together to resolve addiction problems.” The program is founded on what they call a science based “4-Point Program.” To find a SMART Recovery group in Ohio, visit the following link: https://www.smartrecoverytest.org/local/meetings/?search_location=West+Chester+Township%2C+OH%2C+USA&search_radius=50&search_lat=39.3321262&search_lng=-84.4172666&listing_label%5B%5D=Public

Recovery Meetings for Parents of Addicts in Ohio
Perhaps those who need guidance the most are the family members and loved ones who are left in the wake of another’s addiction. And while we often focus on the recovery of the suffering addict, it’s just as important for those who have cared for the addict to get better, too. Addiction recovery meetings for family members can help them overcome feelings of guilt and frustration. The group helps one another understand how to move on with living their life, whether their loved one gets better or not. Common themes are understanding codependency, enabling and other behaviors that often need to be addressed in order to affect real change for the entire unit.

Self-Help Groups in Ohio
You don’t have to have addiction problems yourself, or be the parent of an addicted child, to benefit from a self-help group. If addiction has affected your life in one way or another, a self-help group may be a wonderful place to receive the support you need. Perhaps a parent, family member, friend or loved one has battled with addiction, and their actions while in active addiction have negatively affected your life, sense of self or emotional stability.
The good news is that you are not alone. Millions of people deal with emotional trauma as a result of the addiction of another. It can take the form or physical or emotional abuse, create co-dependency or make you into an enabler. The important thing to know is it’s not your fault, and you deserve to get better, too. When you decide enough is enough, alcohol rehab at Lumiere Healing Centers is here for you.
