Valor Recovery of Austintown hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony in celebration of receiving certification by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

On June 7, employees of Valor Recovery, a rehabilitation and behavioral health center, stood outside of the building cutting a blue ribbon in celebration.

Though the company has been opened since last July, the certification now allows the company to provide a full spectrum of services.

“Valor is here to be a resource to the community,” said Executive Director Misty Long. “We’re here to help battle the horrible disease of addiction.”

The company has 33 beds and offers a range of services including residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, medication-assisted treatment, individual and group counseling and more. James Conti, the founder of the company, said that his goal with creating the service was to help the people of Ohio battle addiction.

“Having worked for over 45 years in the health care industry and recognizing the crisis in our community, I felt like I needed to do something about it, to save lives and help people combat their addictions,” Conti said.

The group also received the Gold Seal of Approval by the Joint Commission.

“It is important to have high-quality service, a successful client-based program, and a highly-qualified staff committed to giving the best care possible,” Conti said.

Long said that the facility is currently accepting new client ®le. For more information on Valor Recovery or to access their services, go to www.valorrecoverycenters.com.
