From Recovery to Restoration: How Restore 510 is Rebuilding Lives with Purpose
What happens when bold leadership, unshakable faith, and the power of second chances come together in the heart of North Georgia? You get Restore 510, a nonprofit that’s not just helping men recover from addiction — but restoring them to a life of purpose, responsibility, and impact.
In this inspiring episode of North Georgia Business Radio, host Phil Bonelli sits down with Casey Ryals, Board Chairman of Restore 510, and newly appointed Executive Director Chase Adams. Together, they share the story behind Restore 510, a transformative initiative rooted in First Peter 5:10: “After you have suffered a little while, God will restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you.”
Restore 510 goes beyond traditional rehab or halfway houses. It’s a post-recovery program designed to give men not just a place to stay, but a roadmap to reclaim their lives. Through discipleship, life skills training, financial coaching, and mentorship, these men learn how to go from needing help — to being help.
The episode dives into the program’s origin story — born from a deep desire to create lasting change for men coming out of addiction. Casey candidly shares how their early efforts fell short without focused leadership, until the “God-appointed” moment when he called Chase Adams… and everything shifted. Within days, Chase said yes to the role that he calls his “dream job,” one that aligns perfectly with the vision he had written years earlier.
Chase brings years of ministry experience and a profound heart for walking with men through the messy, hard process of recovery. With powerful transparency, he discusses the deeper issues beneath addiction—often rooted in lack of love, trust, and community—and how Restore 510 seeks to address those through the love of Christ and real human connection.
But this episode isn’t just about one organization—it’s a call to action for the entire community. Whether you’re a business owner who can offer employment, a man in recovery who needs support, or someone who simply wants to serve, there’s a place for you at Restore 510.
“We’re not just starting something and asking God to bless it,” Chase says. “We’re joining in on what He’s already doing.”
Get ready to be moved, challenged, and inspired by this dynamic duo and the movement they’re building—one life at a time.
