Greg interviews Erin Helms, the Executive Director of the Woodrow Project located in Parma, Ohio. The mission of the Woodrow Project is to provide a safe, stable and supportive environment for women in recovery.

Erin explains that Ohio Recovery Housing has three different levels of recovery housing: level one, level two and level three. She then discusses the typical skill set seen at each level. Level three is considered a halfway house, for those with pretty poor life skills who are struggling to make it through the day. Level two is for those who are able to somewhat function in the outside world, with the capability to hold down a part-time job and balance a checkbook. While level one housing is for those who have maintained a long period of sobriety, perhaps a part of a 12-step program or sponsorship program.
