I am Steve Kapela, and I've been in long-term recovery since May 12, 2008. My journey
includes overcoming challenges with gambling, alcohol, and drugs, etc. My Recovery
transformation has allowed me to heal my family, build a fulfilling career, seek
redemption, and repair the damage from 35 years of addiction.
At the age of 50, I began working in the recovery field as a peer and counseling
assistant while pursuing my education. In 2016, I earned my Master of Social Work
(LISW-S), and by 2017, I received my independent social worker license and Chemical
Dependency certification. I was also among the first in Ohio to be certified as a
gambling counselor (LICDC-CS-GAMB).
As a Community Mental Health program supervisor, I helped develop Ohio’s largest and
most extensive Gambling Treatment program. Having experienced addiction and
recovery myself, I believe that individuals of all ages and backgrounds have the
potential for change when provided with the right support.
With 35 years of lived experience, along with my professional training, I possess a deep
understanding and empathy for my clients. Recovery is possible, it may be the hardest
thing you ever do, but it comes with rewards you cannot imagine today.
