Positive Vibes began in 2019 when an Ashley staff member reflected on her own early recovery and remembered how reconnecting with the things she loved before addiction, especially creative expression, helped her rediscover who she was. She wanted to create a space where patients could do the same: reconnect with their interests, express themselves, and remember that recovery is about building a meaningful life, not just stopping substance use. Today, Positive Vibes is held on campus every Friday evening and has become a favorite Ashley tradition. We are so excited to have alumni and recovery allies alike back on Ashley’s Main Campus on September 25th to reconnect with that passion for a great cause. Every performer and participant will be invited to raise money for the scholarship fund which will help those in need have access to lifesaving care. This event is a celebration of the power of community, creative expression, and coming home to ourselves.
