About Us

Drug and alcohol addictions affect and destroy the lives of many individuals and families daily. It is not a lack of willpower nor a character flaw that causes individuals to suffer from these addictions. It is considered a disease and should be seen and treated as a medical issue, just as any other illness. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) (TE, 2013) defines addiction as follows:

​

"Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual's life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences."

Surest Path Recovery Center is an inpatient rehab facility. In 2019, the facilities underwent a reorganization with the addition of Dr. David Guardiola, Ph.D., MSW, MBA, LISW-S, and Chris Jordan LPCC-S. Surest Path Recovery Center is an Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services (OHMAS) certified facility that uses evidence-based practiced criteria. In Bloomville, OH, our women's facility was first founded in 2017. In 2019, our male facility, located in Fremont, OH, was founded. Our facilities offer the American Society of Addiction Medicine levels of care treatment supported by our medical, clinical, and peer support teams.
