<p><strong>ABOUT ALPHA 12 STEP RECOVERY- JERICHO HOUSE</strong></p> <p>Located in the small town of Bucyrus, in rural northern Ohio, Jericho House is <strong>a Christian sober living home for women</strong> struggling with addiction and/or other behavioral concerns. Rooted in the <strong>12-step model of recovery</strong>, the facility is one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">46 percent</a> of Ohio-based facilities that offer some services just for women.</p> <p>Jericho House is run by Alpha 12 Step Recovery, a <strong>faith-based nonprofit</strong> that also runs Christian recovery meetings and a prison ministry in the area. The home does not support the use of Suboxone or other recovery-support medications. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Alpha 12 Step's goal is to reintegrate clients recovering from addiction and other behaviors into a new life that focuses on honesty and stability through faith in Jesus Christ. The focus is on full recovery, as opposed to abstinence alone. Alongside substance use disorder, the program can treat such disorders as <strong>overeating, gambling, sex addiction, smoking, compulsive spending, and codependency.</strong> </p> <p>As its name suggests, Alpha 12 Step follows the 12-step fellowship, which it splits into <strong>four phases</strong>: foundation, self-examination, reconciliation, and maintaining sobriety. The program also aims to teach clients about other problematic behaviors and give them tools for overcoming them through <strong>problem-solving and conflict resolution.</strong> The Christian element addresses the social and spiritual aspects of addiction.</p> <p><strong>The program at Jericho House is long-term, run by peers in recovery,</strong> and monitored by volunteers. There's a special emphasis on providing <strong>parenting skills</strong> for the women in residence, as well as building healthy parent-child boundaries and a network of referrals for every client. Pictures of cribs published on the facility's website suggest that residents' children may stay with them at the facility — an amenity only offered at <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">3.7 percent</a> of Ohio-based facilities. According to <a href="https://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/story/news/2017/03/10/jericho-house-helps-addicts-reclaim-lives/98970254/" target="_blank">a local news article</a>, residents may not leave the home for the first 30 days of their treatment. </p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment team includes <strong>chaplain, facilitators, and mentors,</strong> some of whom are in recovery themselves. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility one out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience, though they cited the lack of 24-hour staff supervision as a weakness of the program.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Jericho House is a <strong>family-style home with shared bedrooms</strong> as well as a room with a baby crib, changing table, and rocking chair. There's a porch, a full kitchen, and a shared bathroom, plus an in-home washer and dryer. According to <a href="https://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/story/news/2017/03/10/jericho-house-helps-addicts-reclaim-lives/98970254/" target="_blank">an article</a> published in a local newspaper, there's room at the home for <strong>six women at a time</strong>, making Jericho House significantly smaller than the average Ohio-based facility, which has <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/OH17.pdf" target="_blank">25 beds</a>. The same article noted that there's no television at the home, and women are encouraged to read instead.</p> <p>The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the facility three stars for its cleanliness and upkeep, and two stars for its exercise and leisure offerings.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com hasn't yet polled any Jericho House alumni, but secondary sites do yield one review: a five-star rating with no accompanying commentary, left on Google.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong> </p> <p>The single loved one polled by Rehabs.com to date would strongly recommend treatment at Jericho House, though their review indicated that treatment isn't flawless. "It's a nice faith based facility. It's new and they're trying to work the kinks out," they wrote, giving the center just one star for its ability to treat co-occurring disorders and two stars for its counseling options and holistic offerings. The program's family participation received a solid three-star rating.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Jericho House doesn't currently publish its fees, but the cost of treatment is offset by donations and by all workers at the facility providing their time for free. The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center three out of five stars for its affordability, and when asked whether treatment was worth the cost, they gave a positive five-star rating.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?ei=KuO7W8iAHLLj9AP10ZaoAg&q=alpha+12+step+bucyrus+oh&oq=alpha+12+step+bucyrus+oh&gs_l=psy-ab.3...48581.51140..51378...0.0..0.136.1233.13j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i7i30j0i8i30.73uSJaIJhCg#lrd=0x88397419b0a15555:0x6fe8a34df9763a66,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small></p>
