Our Mission
Healing Arts for Recovery is dedicated to improving recovery outcomes for individuals living with substance use disorders by expanding access to music and art therapy. These creative therapies can play a powerful role in helping people process emotions, rebuild identity, and reconnect with purpose during recovery. Our program focuses particularly on individuals in the early stages of sobriety, when consistent engagement in supportive services can make the greatest difference.
By helping remove financial barriers to therapy and providing structured recovery support, we aim to make these healing practices accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford them. Through this work, we strive to support individuals on their recovery journey while demonstrating how creative therapeutic approaches can strengthen long-term recovery outcomes.

Our Vision for Change
Healing Arts for Recovery is designed not only to support individuals today, but also to help shape the future of addiction treatment. By carefully tracking participation, outcomes, and recovery progress, our program generates meaningful real-world data about the effectiveness of music and art therapy combined with financial cash incentives (Contingency Management).
Our goal is to share these insights with researchers, healthcare systems, and policymakers so that creative therapies can become more widely accessible and recognized as valuable components of comprehensive recovery care. When recovery programs evolve, more people gain access to the tools that help them heal.
