Join us on Thursday June 4, 2026 at 12PM (noon) for the discussion of the book Dreamland – The True Tale of America’s Op**te Epidemic. It’s a quick and fascinating read with a very close connection to Ohio. Sam Quinones, the book’s award-winning author, and Lisa Roberts, retired public health nurse from the City of Portsmouth Public Health Department, who was central to the story, will join the discussion. Professor Dan Skinner, PhD, and host of the podcast Prognosis Ohio, will serve as the program moderator. You don't want to miss this!

Even if you don’t have time to read the book, we hope you will join us for what will certainly be a fascinating discussion.

Recovery isn’t easy — but nobody should have to do it alone.

At AVO, we see people every day who are fighting to get their lives back, reconnect with family, stay sober, and find stability again. That’s why we do what we do.

We currently have openings in our male and female sober living homes along with treatment services designed to help people take the next step forward.

If you or someone you love needs help, reach out. We’re here to talk.

We were honored to have attended breakfast this morning. What this team has accomplished in 15 years is not only amazing but Judge Heaths legacy will last long after her retirement this year. Honor Court is an incredible program and for those who make it happen everyday we honor you.
