About Us

The majority of our patients are everyday hardworking people in the community who simply need help and guidance to live a normal life. Addiction patients struggling with this lifelong illness are often influenced by genetics, prior medical conditions, or lifestyle choices. Many have had difficult childhoods and endured dysfunctional circumstances. However, they eventually recognize their need for help and their desire to feel “like other people.” Most want privacy when seeking help which factors into the location we seek for each clinic. We want the patient and community to feel safe. Most return after starting the program, looking and feeling normal. It is not uncommon to hear patients thank us for improving their quality of life and for helping them function normally in their job and family.

The addiction crisis in our country is significant. Ignoring it wont make it go away. Emmaus desires to tackle this problem using a model that has proven success. Our hope is to expand to other areas to reach as many people as possible. Our desire as we walk alongside those struggling is that communities will support our effort for change, and celebrate with those who have found freedom through our program.
