We come to a treatment facility every week as an adjunct service to the treatment curriculum.

We bring a variety of instruments: guitars, amps, keyboard, various drums & percussion, etc.

We explain the ‘why’ of Rock to Recovery, and share some of our own experiences in recovery. We use music and its scientific benefits as a powerful tool.

We write a song together, using as much creativity from each member as possible, while teaching people to play instruments, often for the first time.

We jam! At the end of each session, we record our song.

After the session, each song is uploaded to our SoundCloud account. We have a catalog of over + 30,000 songs.

Facilities choose to offer Rock to Recovery as weekly sessions for clients. We bring all the gear. We just need a room with an electrical outlet, a few chairs, and we’re ready to go! Optimal group size is 1-14. Programs are offered face-to-face (CA, OR, TN) or virtually.

Individuals may choose private sessions. These may be offered face-to-face or online.
