The Lorain County Crisis Recovery Center is now open at 6130 South Broadway, Lorain, Ohio

The Lorain County Crisis Recovery Center (LCCRC) is the results of years of collaboration and investment across many sectors of the community. Opened on October 1, 2025, the LCCRC marks a transformational moment in how the Lorain County community responds to mental health and substance use disorders crises.

Using the nationally recognized Living Room Model, the LCCRC offers 16-recliner observation bays for adults 18+ in need of short-term 23-hour mental health stabilization and 16 detox beds for adults 18+ in need of withdrawal management treatment. There are also calming sensory spaces for those needing a more comforting treatment room.

The LCCRC is staffed with a multidisciplinary team of mental health clinicians, addiction specialists, peer recovery supporters and medical professionals. This approach allows individuals to access help earlier, often preventing crises from escalating to an emergency room visit or involvement with the justice system.

The LCCRC truly represents a “no wrong door” approach. Whether arriving on their own, with a family member or friend, or brought in by first responders, the LCCRC offers a symbol of hope and testament to what can be achieved. Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, the LCCRC gives those individuals in crisis the ability to reach recovery.
