UMADAOP Lucas County

What UMADAOP Lucas County does

UMADAOP Lucas County is a nonprofit behavioral healthcare organization founded in 1980 in Toledo, Ohio, following Ohio General Assembly legislation HB 204 that chartered seven original UMADAOP organizations to address substance abuse in African American and Hispanic American communities. The organization delivers a continuum of care spanning prevention, treatment, recovery, and reentry services to minority communities, youth ages 10-15, Black youth and young adults, adults returning from incarceration, older adults, and faith-based communities in Lucas County and Northwest Ohio. Core programs include CARF-accredited Case Management, Intensive Outpatient Treatment, and Outpatient Treatment; the Circle for Recovery reentry program (founded 1993); Summer Camp and After School social-emotional learning programs; suicide prevention initiatives including Choose Life and 988 Lifeline integration; and an on-site naloxone vending machine for overdose reversal.

The organization operates within a Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care framework emphasizing culturally and linguistically appropriate, person-centered, self-directed services. Its technology footprint is limited to digital content delivery — website, blog, social media, YouTube, and crisis hotline integration — with no proprietary software, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities. Service delivery is community-based through partnerships with schools, local agencies, grassroots organizations, and a Church Alliance for Healthy & Caring Communities.

Revenue mechanics are typical of a publicly funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit: government appropriations under HB 204, charitable donations via Givelify, and pass-through fiduciary funding from the One Pill Can Kill statewide opioid initiative coordinating 11 Ohio UMADAOP organizations. Services are provided at no cost to clients. The organization holds CARF International accreditation sustained for over seven years, and serves as fiduciary and lead agency for statewide UMADAOP opioid crisis coordination, extending administrative reach beyond its single Toledo office.
