https://www.promoplace.com/ws/ws.dll/Showroom?DistID=26521&StoreID=169476 Taking Back Ohio is a grass roots Ohio 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to educate, advocate, and support those who are seeking recovery from Addiction and/or Mental Health Challenges find it and keep it! We do this primarily through our weekly Open Recovery meeting's that use a Positive Peer Approach to help those seeking Recovery find their true meaning and purpose in life. Taking Back Ohio was started by a few close friends in recovery at the Sandusky Artisans Recovery Community Center in 2014 and welcomes anyone and everyone seeking Recovery from Mental Health challenges or substance use disorder as well as any supporters. We welcome those utilizing MAT as a way of achieving Recovery from SUD and all pathways to Recovery. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! If you are considering living FREE from the bonds of addiction - YOU are welcome here.

Our Story

Taking Back Ohio is an APG (Alternative Peer Group) meeting that was started by a few close friends in recovery. This meeting is unlike any other recovery meeting that you have ever gone to! Taking Back Ohio is not a twelve-step meeting, nor is it faith based. The group chose for the meeting to be like this so that anyone from the outside who had skepticism or fear related to going to a recovery meeting would feel open to try this out! We would love for you to come see us anytime - we are in action at 138 East Market Street in Sandusky, Ohio every Wednesday evening from 5:00pm-6:00pm.
