All of Lake Area Recovery Center’s treatment facilities will remain open and continue to provide lifesaving care. Our top priority is the safety, health, and well-being of our clients, staff, and community. We are working in harmony with recommendations from the Ohio Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We provide masks if needed, and they are required to be worn. Masks must be worn properly and cover both the nose and mouth at all times.
Every staff member, visitor, and resident is required to undergo a temperature check prior to entering our facilities.
For an individual being admitted into our recovery housing for residential treatment:
Commonly touched surfaces like door handles, desk surfaces, and telephones are sanitized multiple times throughout the day. Offices and the waiting area are sanitized throughout the day.
No outside visitation is currently being permitted. Residential clients are permitted visitation through Zoom on the weekends. Clients schedule visitation through their counselors.
We now offer intakes, assessments, group and individual counseling sessions, case management, and peer support through telehealth Zoom video conferencing. People can still come to our office for intakes, assessments, and counseling sessions, but they will not meet with someone directly in an office or classroom during the session. We will provide a device for the meeting if they need internet access or they can use their own mobile device.
If someone calls our 440-998-0722 phone number after hours, whether it is an established client or someone in crisis, the call gets forwarded to an operator who will contact our on-call counselor if needed. The counselor will then speak to the concerned person directly.
