We at ERB strongly believe it is vitally important to have clinical and community care (medicine and ministry) working TOGETHER.
ERB continues to EDUCATE, EQUIP, AND ENGAGE healthcare providers, patients, families and our communities to shed light on this stigma and ignorance which shrouds addiction. Our team is committed to fulfilling our mission to help people get the help they deserve. Addiction care is just as important as any other type of medical care.
