The Rock Club's Music Programs are often the first step in recovery because the participant begins with the safety of a musical instrument in a non judge-mental environment of peers. Recovery empowers the participants to take charge of his/her way of like and live a full and meaningful life. Our approach focuses on the individual's strengths and gives respect, honor, and hope to our nation's heroes and their families and the future in our youth today.

We have become a life line in the survival of homeless, former substance abusers and participants who may not have anyone left in their life. We have become a family and provide emotional support along the journey while the participant becomes more confident through playing music that they have something to offer not only their loved ones but also society.
