OCA's Mission
The mission of Ohio Citizen Advocates for Chemical Dependency Prevention and Treatment is to eliminate the stigma and discrimination associated with alcohol and other drug addiction by:
- educating the public that alcohol and other drug addiction is a preventable, treatable medical illness,
- reducing barriers to treatment, and
- advocating for a system of care that supports a continuum of effective alcohol and other drug services.

He has been in long-term recovery from addiction for 22 years - and he lives and breathes recovery every day helping others to find the way and fostering a better understanding of the disease to anyone who will listen.
