Kelly Rhodes CRSS CRS FPS - Founder/Executive Director
I am a person in long-term recovery from opioid use disorder, a journey that began tragically with the loss of my beloved brother, Clifford Rhodes, on November 4, 2016. His untimely passing became the catalyst for my own path to recovery.
To honor Clifford's memory and to support others battling substance use disorder, I founded Open Rhodes 2 Recovery (OR2R), Somerset County's first 501(c)(3) non-profit Recovery Community Organization. Our center is a sanctuary of hope, support, and love—for individuals in recovery. By sharing our lived experiences, we aim to provide essential resources, build recovery capital, and demonstrate the unwavering love and support needed to heal from this devastating illness.
