Restore Addiction Recovery

What Restore Addiction Recovery does

Restore Addiction Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates a 12-month Christ-centered, Biblically-based, and clinically-supported residential addiction recovery program for adult men struggling with drug and/or alcohol addiction. Founded in 2017 and opened in 2020, the program is housed in a 15,000 sq/ft, 60-bed facility on 18.5 acres of donated county land in Lakemore, Ohio, near Akron. The program is structured into four sequential phases — Foundation (30 days), Discovery, Application, and Launch — combining 1-1 counseling, group counseling, Biblical teaching, life-skills development, vocational training, GED and finance education, and aftercare support. All program services are provided free of charge with no insurance required, and admission is open to any man committed to change regardless of ability to pay.

The business model is donation-funded rather than revenue-generating in a commercial sense. Operating costs are covered by charitable contributions from individuals, churches, and businesses, plus in-kind donations such as food from Costco and Sheetz, and are materially offset by the Community Partner Work Program, in which residents work 20-40+ hours per week at local partner businesses (29,378 hours in 2025) in exchange for vocational training and modest personal pay above room, board, and transportation costs. A network of Grace Church partnerships supports Champions Recovery Group, Families Facing Addiction support groups, and Family Days, while the County of Summit ADM Board crisis hotline serves as a referral channel. The organization has served 500+ men since opening and reported 57 full-program graduates, with 100% of graduates securing full-time employment upon completion.

Restore employs 1-10 staff and is led by Founder and President Dan Gregory (formerly of Stanley Black & Decker, TTI Floorcare, and Sherwin-Williams), CFO Norm Benden (formerly of Huntington National Bank), COO Rick King, and a Board of Trustees that includes operating partners from Align Capital Partners and Riverside Company, the CEO of MOZAY, and the senior pastor of Grace Church of Greater Akron. The organization has earned the 2023 GuideStar Gold Seal of Transparency. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no revenue disclosures, no patents or proprietary technology, and no AI/ML components; the offering is intentionally human-intensive and faith-based, distributed through a single residential site plus affiliated church and community partnerships across Ohio.

Revenue model

1. Donations from Individuals, Churches, and Businesses: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Restore Addiction Recovery depends entirely on charitable donations from individuals, churches, and businesses to fund its operations. The organization covers each resident's stay (up to 12 months) at no cost to the participant, with donations covering room, board, counseling, transportation, and other program services. Additionally, the Community Partner Work Program allows residents to work at local businesses, with payments offsetting program costs, enabling the organization to operate at a fraction of the cost of other recovery programs.
