Since its establishment in 1990 by National Certified Addiction Counselor Pat McManus, Rock In Prevention has focused on using music to help children and adults avoid addiction and bullying. Pat McManus, Rock In Prevention maintains certification with professional organizations such as NAADAC, the Association for Addiction Professionals (formerly called the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors).
As part of the commemoration of National Recovery Month, NAADAC will recognize those who serve people with addictions by celebrating National Addiction Professionals Day on September 20, 2017. The executive director of NAADAC, Cynthia Moreno Tuohy, invites all to join on this day in honoring professionals who work in the field of addictions.
Also on National Addiction Professionals Day, NAADAC will announce the winners of its 2017 awards. Recipients of these awards will receive further recognition at the 2017 NAADAC Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado, later in September.
