About Us

Who We Are

Team Recovery is a compassionate and innovative organization founded in 2015 by Matt Bell MSW, LSW, CIP, a visionary leader who brings a unique perspective to the fight against addiction and mental health disorders. Drawing from his personal journey of overcoming addiction, Matt is deeply committed to providing high-quality care to individuals seeking support in their own recovery process. Team Recovery’s mission is to improve the overall health and well-being of individuals affected by addiction and/or mental health disorders.

Our Story

Team Recovery began in 2015 when a small group of individuals in recovery came together with a shared purpose: to challenge the stigma surrounding addiction and mental health disorders and create meaningful change in their community.

 

Led by founder Matt Bell, the group stepped into the public eye holding signs that sparked important conversations about recovery and hope. What began as a simple act of courage quickly gained widespread attention, reaching individuals and families who had long felt unseen.

 

That moment became more than a gathering—it became a movement rooted in compassion, advocacy, and the belief that everyone deserves access to quality care and support.

A Holistic, Client-Centered Approach

At Team Recovery, we recognize that addiction and mental health challenges affect not only individuals but also their families and communities. That’s why our holistic, client-centered approach is designed to address the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of recovery. Our team of dedicated professionals works collaboratively with each client to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals, supporting them to lead healthier, happier lives.

Innovative Care for Sustainable Recovery

Team Recovery goes beyond traditional treatment methods, focusing on sustainable recovery, mental wellness, and long-term success through an innovative approach. Whether it’s through therapy, counseling, community support, or addressing stable housing needs we are committed to helping individuals break free from the cycle of addiction and mental health struggles.

What Makes Team Recovery Different

1. A Continuum of Care That Meets You Where You Are

From Detox and Residential Treatment to Outpatient Care and Recovery Housing, we offer every level of support under one roof.
Each step is personalized — because healing isn’t linear, and you deserve care that moves with you.

2. People with Lived Experience at Every Level

Many members of our staff — from leadership to peer support — are in recovery themselves.
They understand what it’s like to ask for help, to start over, and to rebuild a life from the inside out.
That perspective shapes everything we do, from how we design programs to how we greet someone on their first day.

3. Innovative, Whole-Person Programming

We combine clinical excellence with real-life tools: therapy, peer mentorship, case management, psychiatric services, and wellness programs focused on nutrition, fitness, and mindfulness.
Our model integrates the stages of change and the dimensions of wellness — helping clients heal physically, emotionally, and socially.

4. Accessible, High-Quality Care

Team Recovery is proud to make premier addiction and mental health treatment accessible to everyone in the Toledo community.
We work with Medicaid and are expanding to include Medicare and commercial insurance — because quality care should never depend on your coverage.

5. Deep Roots in Toledo

Our story started right here.
Through the Team Recovery Foundation  and Team Recovery Treatment Services, we are active in local events, schools, and community initiatives throughout Lucas County and beyond.

 

This isn’t just where we work: it’s home.
