Addiction Education & Awareness Concept Through Music Is Working

It's Amazing, and we are so proud to see how since 2011 (going on twenty five of our own productions) the Rockers In Recovery® (RIR) concept of recovery concerts/festivals to carrying a message of Education & Awareness is working.

PHILADELPHIA - May 21, 2016 - PRLog -- This same message is now being duplicated by many in the addiction recovery advocacy movement groups like the October, 2015 Washington DC Unite to Face Addiction Rally (with Joe Walsh and other well know musicians) , the 2014 Fed Up Rally, and now the 2016 SAMHSA's National Prevention Week. It's happening all over the United States. Since 2014 many treatment programs have even adopted as a modality, with some using as primary treatment.  What an honor and we look forward to seeing many more use our unique form of addiction prevention and education.

Feb.14, 2015, RIR Music Festival - Quote by Tom Coderre ,Senior White House Advisor to SAMHSA "Rockers In Recovery® brings the private treatment sector, addiction education, and the addiction advocacy non-profit sector together in a unique way as no one else is doing anywhere in the United States. What makes RIR unique, the message is all around and through the universal language of music with some great rockers of our day. They combine it with educational speakers and advocacy groups. RIR brings it all together at their community addiction education meet and greets, and addiction awareness and prevention concerts/festivals"
