Descriptive words and detailed statistics are two ways to summarize what a business does, but when the business focuses on helping people turn their lives around, verbiage and data alone will always fall short of capturing the entire story. In Oriana House’s 15 facilities in Summit, Cuyahoga, and Seneca counties, our dedicated staff work every day to teach accountability, provide chemical dependency treatment, and offer educational and employment opportunities for our clients. Our goal of helping people is realized each time a parent rebuilds a relationship with their children, or a man or woman finally breaks the grip of drug addiction or alcoholism, or a young adult learns how to make the right choices. As our clients - people who are our neighbors, co-workers, friends, or family members - improve their lives, communities and generations are inevitably improved as well.
Chemical dependency and crime can’t be avoided entirely by any community, but their impact can be minimized through evidence-based programs that improve safety and save taxpayers’ money. State and local budget restraints and prison overcrowding require effective, responsible solutions; Oriana House is proud to provide the communities we serve with the expertise that comes from 28 years of experience. Our programming and treatment staff have provided outside training locally and nationally to professionals in the field. Community corrections officials from other states and countries have contacted and visited Oriana House to learn more about our programs.
Oriana House is affirmed year after year as various agencies conduct on-site audits to review and assess our programs. The Summit County and CROSSWAEH (Seneca County) Community Based Correctional Facilities earned perfect scores in 2009 on their reaccreditation audits from the American Correctional Association.
This year Oriana House expanded employment and education services for clients and focused on having families more involved in the recovery and reentry process; all factors that are significant to reducing recidivism. As the intensity of evidence-based practices increased, Oriana House’s Research Department continued to collect and analyze data through client surveys, strategic planning, and client outcome studies conducted at one and two years after release. With the groundbreaking for a new CBCF and plans for a reentry facility to open in Cuyahoga County, more people will receive services in the communities where they live and will be better prepared to establish and maintain a productive, crime-free lifestyle.
So as the story of what Oriana House does unfolds in the lives of those we serve, we look forward to working together to meet the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

2009 HighlightsCuyahoga County CBCF
Cuyahoga County broke ground for the
Judge Nancy R. McDonnell Cuyahoga
County Community Based Correctional
Facility (CBCF). The facility will be the 19th
CBCF in Ohio. CBCFs provide evidence-
based, comprehensive programming
that addresses offender needs such
as chemical dependency treatment,
education, employment, and family
relationships. Oriana House will
operate the Cuyahoga County CBCF,
making it the third CBCF in Ohio
operated by Oriana House.
Accreditations, Certifications, LicensureMeeting or exceeding national, state,
and industry standards is critical to
Oriana House’s role as a leader in
community corrections. Oriana House
is proud to have 12 of its community
corrections programs accredited
by the American Correctional
Association (ACA). The Summit County
and CROSSWAEH (Seneca County)
CBCFs earned perfect scores in
2009 on their ACA reaccreditation
audits. The agency’s residential and
nonresidential chemical dependency
treatment programs are certified by
the Ohio Department of Alcohol and
Drug Addiction Services; and Oriana
House’s drug and alcohol testing
laboratory is certified by the Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Act. Licensing
is also granted by the Ohio Department
of Rehabilitation and Correction
to all funded programs. The Ohio
Association of Nonprofit Organizations
has certified Oriana House under
the Ohio Nonprofits Standards for
Excellence.
North Star Neighborhood Reentry Resource Center
This facility opens in Cleveland in
2010 to assist individuals involved in
the criminal justice system and their
families in navigating the challenges
associated with reentry. Services
include employment, education, self-
help meetings, case management,
and outside referrals as needed with
a focus on assisting with community
reintegration for those returning to
our communities and their families.
North Star Neighborhood Reentry
Resource Center will partner with
many other providers to address
prisoner reentry in the Greater
Cleveland area.
Academic/Employment Program
The Glenwood Halfway House (GHH)
in Summit County reopened in 2009
after funding restrictions caused it to
close. Through the GHH, male, felony
offenders whose primary criminogenic
need is employment, can participate
in a new Academic/Employment
Program. The 180-day program
focuses on helping clients obtain a job
where they can earn a livable wage
with health care benefits.
Employment Readiness Center
The U.S. Department of Justice
awarded Oriana House $300,000 to
launch an Employment Readiness
Center in Summit County. Finding
and maintaining employment is a
significant factor in reducing recidivism.
The center will provide employment
resources and training to clients from
felony and municipal drug courts and
family violence court, along with other
Oriana House clients.
Treatment
The Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Treatment
program was modified in 2009 to
better help clients who continue to
use drugs or alcohol while in primary
treatment. Now if a client relapses, his
or her time in treatment is extended.
Previously, clients who used were often
discharged and/or restarted in the
next available group. Because the time
immediately after relapse is crucial
to recovery, this change lets clients
continue with the benefits of treatment
at a time when they need it the most.
In order to provide multiple levels of
care, a six-week Outpatient Treatment
Program was added in 2009,
consisting of four hours of group
therapy and 30 minutes of individual
counseling weekly. The program
is designed to facilitate a client’s
movement toward awareness of his/
her substance use and the effects it is
having on his/her life.
Additional Summit County CBCF Beds Open
The State of Ohio provided funding to
open 72 additional beds for the CBCF
program in Summit County.
Beginnings Housing
The Beginnings project opened in
Summit County with a new, four-
bedroom home and four renovated
apartment units providing rental
housing for low income, single
adults with mental and/or physical
disabilities. Funding from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) provides rent
subsidies, and case management
services are available, offering the
opportunity for independent living.
The housing is considered permanent
with tenants staying as long as they
need the support provided by the case
manager.
