What is The Recovery Project?

RECOVERY RALLY:Join us in NYC on September 12th to celebrate the 20th anniversary of National Recovery Month.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS (PSAs): Our PSAs featuring well-known celebrities, like Whoopi Goldberg, Benjamin Bratt, Russell Simmons, and Christopher Lawford help raise awareness about addiction and spread the message that recovery is possible and treatment works.

GET INVOLVED: The Recovery Project supports leading national non-profit organizations that are raising awareness about addiction, promoting public education, and providing quality addiction treatment and recovery services. We encourage you to get involved.

PREVENTION RESOURCES: In collaboration with The Partnership for A Drug-Free America, A&E supports prevention efforts locally by co-sponsoring Time To Talk™, an online community, resource and toolkit to help parents connect with their kids.

Intervention™ is a powerful and gripping television series in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. The Intervention Television series profiles people whose dependence on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones. Each Intervention episode ends with a surprise intervention that is staged by the family and friends of the alcohol or drug addict, and which is conducted by one of three Intervention specialists: Jeff VanVonderen, Candy Finnigan and Ken Seeley.

Intervention™ raises awareness about the alternatives and treatment options available to those who suffer from an alcohol or drug addiction, and gives hope to families who have nowhere left to turn.

If you are struggling with an addiction, and need help call 1-800-662-HELP.

Robert Sharenow and Colleen Conway are the executive producers for A&E Network. The Intervention™ television series is produced for A&E Network by GRB. Dan Partland is executive producer and Sam Mettler is creator and executive producer for GRB.

The theme song of Intervention™ is "Five Steps" from the album "Speaking of the Davenports" by the band The Davenports. For more information visit their web site.
