Ohio Takes Control of Recovery Housing | Cleveland News

Ohio is cracking down on recovery houses as their numbers soar—up nearly 400% in four years—with new rules giving the state direct control over certification, inspections, and fraud enforcement. Governor DeWine’s 120-day emergency order shifts oversight to the Department of Behavioral Health, which is also doubling its inspection staff and raising safety standards. Tia Moretti says the rapid growth exposed gaps, especially in opioid-affected regions like southeast Ohio, where unsafe conditions and fraud have been reported. A pending state bill could make these reforms permanent and even establish a broader task force to study recovery housing.
