Josh Torbich is a nationally recognized leader in faith‑based recovery, clinical integration, and organizational transformation. He serves as the CEO of Christian Recovery Centers, Inc., President of the Bluegrass District of Citygate Network, and President of Bridge to 100. He holds a master’s degree in Education with an emphasis on Business Management and Christian Leadership.

​

     Under Joshua’s leadership, Christian Recovery Centers has grown from serving 12 individuals in a single location to more than 200 across multiple campuses, offering no‑cost treatment, recovery, and re‑entry services. His innovative approach blends the strengths of faith and science, creating a bio‑psycho‑social‑spiritual ecosystem that has helped thousands move from suffering to stability, purpose, and long‑term wellbeing.

Joshua’s expertise spans fundraising strategy, system design for therapeutic communities, and organizational effectiveness. He is widely sought after for his ability to integrate faith‑based recovery programs with licensed clinical services, helping organizations strengthen their mission while meeting regulatory and operational standards. His work equips leaders with the systems, language, and structure needed to build sustainable, high‑impact programs.

​

     His passion for this work is deeply personal. In 2013, Joshua found himself trapped in alcohol and heroin addiction with no resources and nowhere to turn. Through the support of a free recovery program, he found freedom, purpose, and a calling to help others. Today, as a recovered opioid user and ordained minister, he brings lived experience, professional expertise, and spiritual conviction to every room he enters. He is frequently invited to speak in schools, churches, conferences, and community forums across the country, sharing a message of hope, restoration, and the power of integrated care.

​

    Beyond organizational leadership, Josh is a passionate advocate for youth prevention. He speaks regularly in middle and high schools across the region, partnering with educators to deliver substance use prevention programs that blend professional insight with lived experience. His school presentations help students understand risk, build resilience, and see hope long before addiction ever has a chance to take root.

​

     Today, Josh is recognized as an expert in addiction recovery and is frequently invited to lead conversations at educational institutions, community forums, and professional development conferences. As an ordained minister, he can often be found preaching across the country, sharing a message of God’s goodness, hope, and restoration.

​

     Josh has dedicated his life to creating opportunities for people devastated by addiction to find a new path forward. Creating opportunities for others to experience hope, healing, and a future they never thought possible is what drives every part of his work.
