Programs and Services

Community Integration Services 

Supported Living Services are designed to provide individualized support for adults with developmental disabilities who live independently, with family, in a group setting, or are making the transition from an institution to a community setting.  The needs of each individual are identified through planning meetings, and a support package is designed to meet their specific needs.  The support package could plan for 24-hour support or a few hours a week, all depending on the individual’s needs. 

Volunteers of America Ohio River Valley Industries offers an array of individualized services for adults with developmental disabilities.  Participants in the program strive toward competitive employment in community settings while simultaneously addressing other unique issues through counseling and other supportive programs. 

Affordable Housing Opportunities 

Housing Opportunities for low-income elderly and disabled adults are available in three locations in Ohio.   Parkway Tower is an 85-unit apartment complex for individuals of very low income.  Woodlands, a 50-unit apartment complex and Antioch Manor, a 24-unit complex, are for adults with developmental disabilities. 

Rehabilitation Centers

The Pogue Rehabilitation Center, located in Cincinnati, and McMahon Rehabilitation Center, located in Dayton, are halfway houses providing services to male parolees who are in the process of reentry into the community.   The services provided address issues of chronic mental health, substance abuse, daily life skills, and employment retention.   Professionals using a team treatment approach provide ongoing individual and group services in collaboration with the offender and parole officer to meet each offender’s needs. 

Medication-Assisted Drug and Opioid Treatment Program

This new program will begin in December 2007 and will serve the Greater Cincinnati region with a focus on northern Hamilton County and outlying counties.  Client referrals are made by physicians, hospitals, social service organizations, and the U.S. Substance Abuse & Mental Health Administration.   The program will serve approximately 50 individuals in its first year.
