Rachel Huffman Takes on Role as Emerge CEO

New CEO Refers to Emerge as ‘A New Hope” for people recovering from addiction.

“Emerge is a new kind of treatment — a new hope. If we can continue to grow and follow God’s will, the possibilities are endless. We can plan all day but if it’s not in alignment with God’s will, it’s not going to happen.”

— Rachel Huffman, CEO of Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative

New Community Partnerships!

Impressed by the work underway at Emerge Recovery & Trade Initiative, a local business owner recently donated several custom-made bedside tables to the men’s recovery housing program.

Working with students at the Greene County Career Center, the owners at Albrecht Wood Interiors & Rhoads Estate Homes created 10 custom bedside tables for the men's space at Emerge — all of which are being used by men who are working to turn their lives around.

Tour Takeaways

On October 27, Senator JD Vance and his team toured the Emerge campus and were able to see the mission that is unfolding. In under 4 months, 67 men from 10 counties of Ohio have entered our doors to continue their substance use treatment.

“The team at Emerge is doing incredible work, helping people in this community get over addiction and find training for successful careers. I’m so grateful they were able to show me around their facility today. I look forward to my next visit and watching them continue their mission.” - Senator Vance
