NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Headquartered
in the country music capital, American Addiction Centers (AAC)
announced today its donation of 30 free days of inpatient treatment
to 12 musicians who seek assistance through MusiCares® in 2018.
MusiCares, an affiliated charity of the Recording Academy™,
provides resources for struggling musicians, including those
battling drug and/or alcohol addiction.
While the public often hears about 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 of Nashville 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," said 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 its 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 the 2018 MusiCares Concert for Recovery
scheduled on May 10, 2018. The
concert will also help raise funds for the nonprofit to give even
more musicians access to treatment.
