“The children and adolescents representing the Residential Treatment Facilities of the Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services, like many of the Road Recovery staff, have faced many difficulties in their young lives and are using music, dance and the arts as an alternative to the negative behaviors they may have used in the past. I am so pleased to have Road Recovery working with us and hope that we can continue to work with them for a long time to come.

“The addition of Road Recovery to the treatment team in the Caron Treatment Center of the New York Recovery Center is truly an innovative approach to helping kids in recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.

By incorporating recovering musicians as mentors and providing our young people an opportunity and environment to be musically and artistically creative under the direction of these mentors, music can become a strong positive influence.”
