A&E Network
Inspired by the overwhelming response to its Emmy-nominated series Intervention, A&E created The Recovery Project, a multi-year campaign designed to generate widespread awareness that addiction is a treatable disease and recovery is possible. Last year, with the help of the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Faces & Voices of Recovery, the Partnership for a Drug-Free America and the SAMSHA planning partners, A&E launched this initiative with the first Recovery Rally in New York City, where more than 5,000 people joined together to form a human bridge of recovery on the historic Brooklyn Bridge.
