Musicians, comedians, clinicians, veterans, and those in recovery share insights into their experience recovering from addiction, mental illness, and trauma.

Based in the birthplace of the modern recovery movement, Akron, Ohio, Rock & Recovery is an award winning online community built around the healing power of music for people dealing with addiction, trauma, or mental health issues. We mix music with inspirational stories and messages to give strength and hope.

These short form segments showcase highlights from full length interviews available on rockandrecovery.com, and are designed to give hope to family, friends, those in recovery, or those who need help.

The testimonials are delivered from a wide variety of individuals: musicians, comedians, healthcare professionals, veterans, and those in recovery.
