Hope United
Hope United provides Education, Support, and Recovery efforts throughout Northeast Ohio. Hope United is a major organization serving Summit, Stark, and Portage Counties, Ohio. Through programs like Breaking Barriers and The Well, Hope United is working toward safer communities, healthier families and breaking the stigma of addiction every day. Join us, and stand united against addiction in Ohio. "We believe that far too many lives have been lost. That addiction is a disease that requires love and compassion, not judgment. We believe that education, support, and treatment are the most powerful of weapons. And that together, we can use them to end this epidemic for good. Will you stand with us to fight addiction?" Stand united for addiction awareness: Breaking Barriers is the education arm of Hope United, focused on raising awareness of the dangers of opioid use and educating that addiction is a disease, not a moral failure. Primarily through speaking engagements, the team explains how the over-prescribing of prescription pain medication has led to the opioid and heroin crisis. The ultimate goal is to conquer the epidemic by highlighting the dangers of opioids to students, parents and the community. Stand United for hope and healing: Hope United's faith-based support groups help family members currently suffering from the opioid and heroin crisis. The Well is a grief support group created for families who have lost a loved on to a drug overdose. Loving With Grace was formed to help families currently living with someone in active addiction. Love Bears All supports children with parents affected by the epidemic. No matter what situation you are in, you'll find support through every step of the process with Hope United. Stand United for true recovery: Hope United's vision for recovery is to create an environment for people seeking full spectrum treatment from substance use disorder, unlike any recovery campus that exists today. Through community partnerships, fundraising events and rallies, Hope United is working to raise $4 million to build a Relapse Prevention Wellness Center within a sober living campus on 25 acres in Summit County, Ohio. The campus will house a year-long treatment facility, residential housing, and our Relapse Prevention Wellness Center called "Tyler's Redemption Place". The wellness center will continue where current treatment providers leave off, giving those in recovery continued support, a safe place of fellowship and an environment to build life skills of mind, body and spirit.
