Midwest Detox Center Staff

I am in recovery myself and was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, and returned to Toledo late in my 20’s. I jumped headfirst into sobriety and recovery, and the progress I have seen at the Midwest facilities keeps me coming back every day, eager to do more and help more people. The difference between Midwest and a lot of other facilities is our abstinence-based program. We believe abstinence and participation in a recovery support system, like the 12-step model, will provide results. The other thing that stands out about our facility is our philosophy to help everyone that calls us to find the right resources. If we cannot accommodate potential clients, we will try our hardest to find a place for them within another facility or organization. Success in recovery is very much about accountability. Every individual is responsible for holding themselves accountable, but we also make sure that they know that we expect them to be held accountable to us as well.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

I am passionate about my own recovery. Recovery has awarded me the opportunity to find joy, passion, and value in all the treasures life has to offer. My goals at work are to be the best TruHealing facility ever. I love seeing people discover a new way of life and how recovery reverberates through the lives of everyone who meets them.

I love Midwest Centers because we have a great comradery that is appealing to all the staff here as well as our clients. At the end of the day, I know I can go home, and I have made a difference in the community.

Eric Trimm is an Inpatient Operations Manager at Midwest Centers. He is attending Owens Community College and has a license in CDCA II. He has been with Midwest for 4 years.

I have worked in various roles at Midwest Centers since May 2021. For almost eight years before coming to Midwest Centers, I worked for an inpatient mental health facility. I specialize in mental health and substance use disorders. I specifically enjoy working with individuals with SPMI (severe and persistent mental illness), substance use disorders, and intellectual disabilities.

My goal for this position is to empower and guide my team of clinical therapists to enhance their therapy skills and provide quality care to our clientele. I hope to provide a healthy culture not only for our staff, but also for our clients. I have a passion for providing a safe, comfortable space for individuals to be their true self, without fear or judgement. I am passionate about helping individuals see their strengths—instead of focusing on their weaknesses—to accomplish their goals.

At the inpatient centers, we see individuals who are coming in at their lowest. It is so rewarding to see the light come back into their eyes after they have been offered the support and encouragement they have so desperately needed. I am honored to be a part of anyone’s journey through their substance use and mental health issues.

I oversee operations at the facility level. Client success is my passion! Being part of clients when they are rebuilding relationships, obtaining employment, and becoming independent—while remaining sober—is my main objective. We strive to maintain an educational, 12-step-focused, and fun outpatient program. My favorite part of the job is helping clients to achieve their goals. I want to help give clients the necessary tools and resources to help them succeed.

What truly sets us apart at Midwest Centers is our staff! The passion and teamwork here are like no other. Our team truly puts the clients first and will go to great lengths to achieve success. We are a family and work very well together!
