Add structured recovery support to the community work you already do.
EMERGE 8 is designed to plug into trusted institutions—nonprofits, faith communities, workforce and reentry programs, recovery organizations, hospitals, and public agencies—without pretending to replace clinical care.
Community nonprofits
Add a defined recovery-support cohort with curriculum, participant materials, referral expectations, and reporting.
Faith communities
Create an accountable recovery pathway that can sit alongside pastoral care and external clinical referrals.
Workforce + reentry
Address alcohol-related instability that can undermine job readiness, retention, family stability, and successful reentry.
Recovery organizations
Use EMERGE 8 as a structured emotional-sobriety and action-planning cohort connected to existing peer supports.
Health systems
Explore pre-treatment engagement, community benefit, referral navigation, and recovery-support partnerships.
Public agencies
Use a community-rooted, outcome-tracked program within broader public-health, violence-prevention, or stabilization initiatives.
EMERGE 8 does not scale by lowering standards.
