"Maryhaven Gave Me My Life Back" – Tanya’s Story For years, Tanya felt trapped in a cycle of addiction, struggling to find a way out. But when she walked through the doors of Maryhaven’s Women’s Residential Program, everything changed. "I was broken, lost, and had nowhere else to turn. Maryhaven gave me more than just a place to heal—they gave me hope. The staff believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. Through therapy, support groups, and learning to rebuild my confidence, I found my strength again." Today, Tanya is living a life she once thought was impossible. She has reconnected with her family, found steady employment, and continues to work on her recovery with the tools Maryhaven provided. "Maryhaven didn’t just help me get sober. They helped me become the best version of myself. I am proud of the woman I am today, and I owe that to the support and care I received here." At Maryhaven, we are honored to be a part of stories like Tanya’s—stories of resilience, transformation, and true recovery. 💙 If you or someone you love needs help, we’re here. You are not alone.

🚨 Maryhaven Featured on Channel 10 TV (WBNS) 🚨 In a recent interview, Adam Jurich, VP of Nursing and Addiction Services at Maryhaven, joined the conversation about the growing danger of xylazine in Ohio and nationwide. This powerful animal tranquilizer is often mixed with fentanyl, making it incredibly dangerous and resistant to Narcan—an overdose reversal drug. Adam emphasized that the mix of xylazine with fentanyl creates a deadly sedative effect, making addiction recovery even more challenging. At Maryhaven, we are committed to offering 24/7 support for those battling addiction, providing detox and treatment services right when they're needed most. As xylazine continues to pose a public health crisis, we’re here to offer the support and care those in need deserve. 💙 If you or someone you know needs help, our doors are always open.
