ERC Founder, President & Original C.E.O.

The Empowerment Resurrection Center of Chester was founded by Martin Chase, its President and CEO. Born and raised in Chester, Pennsylvania, Mr. Chase first recognized the need for and opened a treatment facility for substance abuse in his home town. This effort, The Empowerment Resurrection Center of Chester, is an expanding operation today.
Mr. Chase has over 15 years of practice working with people who are battling addiction and the personal problems associated with the illness. His personal involvement with substance abuse and continuing recovery additionally provide an understanding of the experience and insight to treatment.
Currently, Mr. Chase is an administrator at the New Castle County Detention Center. Formerly, he held the position of Therapeutic Director of the renowned Key Program based in the Delaware prison system, and was a supervisor of the federal Reentry Program for the state of Delaware. He has been employed by several treatment facilities including the Mirmont Texas Center and Keystone Center.
Martin has been drug free for 16 years. He strongly believes that anyone who is addicted can overcome that addiction if they have the tools to deal with their dependence, a spiritual base, opportunities to contribute to society in a productive way, and a supportive community.
His vision to create an outpatient, residential and transitional / recovery housing program to help the residents of Chester transcends itself to the New Jersey facility. His vision, outpatient drug and alcohol counseling is now an expanding reality.
ERC-Chester's goal is to provide a holistic approach to treatment and to offer services to anyone in need.
