At Oriana House, we believe alcoholism and chemical dependency are diseases that require an individual's continuous commitment to recovery over the course of his or her life. Our programming sends individuals on a multi-step journey to rehabilitation through their own admission of a problem, abstinence, avoidance of relapse, and a daily dedication to recovery. We are proud to be a part of this process and to assist individuals in regaining control of their lives.
We are also committed to building stronger communities through safe, proven, and effective programming for appropriate offenders. No community can avoid crime or chemical dependency, but community corrections programs can minimize their impact and increase public safety. Our services include treatment, education, employment, case management, and help prepare individuals for a successful reintegration to the community.
* This site focuses on Detox Center, Chemical Dependency & Treatment & Community Corrections

The Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit Counties is a nonprofit organization serving sexual assault victims and co-survivors in Summit and Medina Counties in northeastern Ohio. We do not charge for any of our services. All survivors of rape and sexual assault, both male and female, are potential survivors regardless of race, religion, financial status, educational background or sexual preference. To honor survivors' confidentiality, the Rape Crisis Center collects demographic information anonymously. Page 61
RCC staff members have received specific training on diversity and underserved populations and are ready and able to respond to the needs of the diverse cultures found in our community. Males, seniors, non-English speakers and the mentally and physically disabled are survivors that often need the most intensive services.
However, when it comes to rape and sexual assault, the truly underserved populations are the vast number of survivors who never report the crime committed against them. To help these individuals, the Rape Crisis Center maintains an active and engaged Outreach Coordinator to educate the public and help remove the stigma associated with sexual assault. In addition, many victims seek medical attention but choose not to notify the police; we collaborate with local hospitals to ensure these survivors can still be reached by our services if they want them while keeping their anonymity.
