Free Recovery Groups
MusiCares is aware that inpatient treatment is the first step toward long-term sobriety. The most challenging work of the recovering music person comes when the client leaves treatment and is immersed back into their daily lives. Now clean and sober, they can most often encounter the daily triggers and temptations of individuals, and certain lifestyle behaviors that got them into trouble, leading them to seek help to save their own lives. They are again faced with bandmates or friends who are still using, schedules that are erratic, clubs and venues that are redolent of their former lifestyles, and almost daily cues to use. To assist our clients in recovery, MusiCares offers various types of free, online recovery support groups in Los Angeles, Nashville, Austin, New Orleans, New York, and Fort Collins, Colo. These groups offer a safe environment in which clients can discuss the challenges of staying clean and sober in the music industry. For more information about any of the groups listed above, please visit MusiCares.
