Here's what we found for you

There are 10 topics and 40 local resources that match your search for Substance use.
  • Substance use: childhood

    Unfortunately, substance use is becoming an increasing concern for younger children in our community. Children who develop drug and alcohol dependencies early in life often experience problems in the classroom, which can lead to long-lasting disadvantages in life. Find community-based prevention and recovery resources, including youth counseling, to help support children whose young lives are touched by addiction.

  • Substance use: young adults

    Addiction is a complex problem. People who struggle with substance use physically and psychologically crave a drug, even when they know the adverse effect it has on their body, their relationships and their community. Stark Help Central is committed to helping young people to overcome their addictions and develop into productive, stable adults. Find local resources dedicated to supporting young people who are affected by substance use.

  • Prescription opioids & heroin
    More than ever, our community is aware of the dangers of heroin and opiate addiction. However, prescription drugs are still readily available and used by young adults in Stark County. A person may be prescribed opioids to support their recovery, and then unwillingly become addicted. When these individuals are refused additional prescriptions, heroin is often the go-to because it is easily accessible. If you or someone you know is struggling with heroin or opiate use, find local detox, treatment and recovery programs.
  • Drugs & alcohol
    Young people may turn to alcohol and drugs as a way to numb emotional pain from personal trauma or as result of peer influence. Youth substance use is a key contributor to problems at school, poor social relationships, motor vehicle accidents and mental health issues. With professional treatment, recovery is possible.
  • Improve Family Dialogs with StarkMHAR Conversation Cards

    Once your family is seated around the dinner table, the typical conversation starter is: “So, how was your day?”

    And the typical answer? “Fine.”

    Getting your child to say anything more can be a lot of work.

    But what if you stopped thinking of the child’s attitude as the problem, and started with the question? What if there were some truly interesting questions you could ask your family? And what if they were excited to think about them and answer?

  • Basic needs: adulthood

    Stark County offers a wide range of basic needs services from food, medicine and family assistance as well as targeted services for veterans, those in substance abuse recovery, homeless persons, parents and more.

  • CHANCE Program Helps People with Substance Use in Stark County
    The CHANCE Program gives individuals in Stark County a chance to address substance use through intensive treatment. Learn more about this program.
  • Anxiety and Depression: A GlenOak High School Production
    We partnered with GlenOak High School’s video production department for a video on anxiety and depression. Watch it now.
  • Gambling addiction recovery
    Whether for entertainment, quick cash or to impress their friends, teens in Stark County gamble for many different reasons. Sometimes they’ve had an early experience with a frequent gambler. Other times, financial necessity causes them to look for money anywhere they can. No matter how the gambling behaviors start, they often stem from a deeper issue that can be addressed through counseling and support.
