Hope Valley Recovery in Circleville operates one of the most accessible and highly rated Medicaid addiction treatment programs in Ohio.

Clients receive individual therapy, group counseling, peer support, case management, and MOUD where appropriate.

The facility offers semi-private rooms, recreation areas, and access to 12-step and other recovery communities. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.
