What Recovery Means to Us—And Why It’s Deeply Personal
At JA Recovery, the word “recovery” isn’t just part of our name—it’s part of who we are. For us, recovery isn’t a buzzword or a box to check. It’s a way of life. It’s a daily practice. And it’s personal.
Our founder, John Adams, knows this journey firsthand. His path—from patient to volunteer, to treatment professional, and now to leading a team of compassionate recovery experts—shapes everything we do. He built JA Recovery to fill the gaps he saw in the behavioral health system and to meet people where they are. He saw a need to not only support individuals discerning a treatment path, but also to support families through what can feel like impossible decisions.
