While the public often hears aboutย famous musicians who have battled addiction, the free care will go to those in the music industry who are uninsured and can’t afford treatment.
“Music is an integral part of the culture ofย Nashvilleย and it seemed only fitting that we should reach out to those in our own backyard who may be struggling with the disease of addiction,” saidย Michael Cartwright, CEO of American Addiction Centers. “As one of the nation’s leading treatment providers, we have seen firsthand how treatment can transform lives.”
Earlier this year, AAC released the results of itsย patient outcome studies. The studies showed that not only does treatment work to reduce substance use, but it also has significant benefits across many important areas of life, including family dynamics and mental health.
AAC is also supporting theย 2018 MusiCares Concert for Recoveryย scheduled onย May 10, 2018. The concert will also help raise funds for the nonprofit to give even more musicians access to treatment.
