The Packard Institute

Our Mission

To provide excellence in counseling through a range of effective counseling services to Ohio teens, young adults, and their families,
regardless of ability to pay.

Our Heritage
The Packard Institute is seated at the exact epicenter of the recovery movement. Dr. Bob and Bill Wilson conceived Alcoholics Anonymous in Akron in 1935. It is in their shadow as well as their spirit that we carry on. Each year tens of thousands of people gather in celebration of a new design for living, the gift of living clean & sober one day at a time.

We Endeavor
To bring the areas most talented and passionate specialists in the healing arts together as a committed team, serving the needs of our young people. In addition to traditional counseling approaches, we offer an array of engaging and dynamic healing arts, the only program in this area with such a broad, multi-disciplinary pool of talent.
