The Joshua Treatment Center Treatment Center is a valuable piece in the addiction recovery puzzle

Everywhere you go these days, you can’t help hearing about the opioid drug crisis. It is constantly claiming new victims and making it harder for people to lead successful lives. “Ohio ranks one or two in the nation for overdose deaths from opioids.The epidemic is nationwide but facilities are turning people away because they don’t have room to treat everybody.” says Jim Perrin, the Director at Joshua Treatment Center at UMADAOP in Lima, Ohio.

The Lima UMADAOP is dedicated to its mission of opening its own residential facility where those struggling with various severities of addiction can receive daily help through inpatient care. According to Myrtle Boykin-Leighton, executive director, “Our services are responsive to the issues of gender, age, disability, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation and reflect support, acceptance, and understanding of cultural and lifestyle diversity.” “The epidemic is nationwide, but facilities are turning people away because they don’t have room to treat everybody.” - Jim Perrin, Director, Joshua Treatment Center
