Accreditations
Our agency conforms to the CARF standards and The Ohio revised code. We currently hold accreditation and licensing with CARF and ODADAS. The Pike County Recovery Council has been accredited by CARF (The Commission on Accreditation of Residential Facilities) for a period of three years for the following programs:
Case Management
Outpatient Treatment
Residential Treatment
Prevention & Diversion
The accreditation outcome, which represents the highest level of accreditation, is awarded to organizations that show substantial fulfillment of the standards established by CARF. An organization receiving a 3-Year Accreditation Outcome puts itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that its program and services are accountable, measurable, and of the highest quality.
Our Mission
The Recovery Council will provide evidence-based, quality integrated alcohol and drug abuse/addiction, and mental health services to support a life of recovery, as well as, evidence-based prevention services.
Service delivery will be focused on the people of the 5-county catchment area of the Paint Valley ADAMH Board (Fayette, Highland, Pickaway, Pike, and Ross) while accepting appropriate referrals from any of the 88 Ohio counties.

Our Story
The History of the Pike County Recovery Council began in 1977 when a group of citizens concerned with the growing alcohol/drug problems in the county met to discuss solutions. From that meeting at Waverly High School, Pike County Recovery Council was born, and with aid of using federal CETA monies, a part-time Director was hired.
