About ODAAT:
Founded in 1983 by Reverend Henry T. Wells, One Day at a Time Recovery (ODAAT) began as a residential peer counseling and substance abuse recovery support program. For over 40 years, ODAAT has served thousands of residential clients annually at its facilities by supplying recovery, addiction, and homeless shelter services. ODAAT connects with thousands of people annually, providing HIV/AIDS prevention education and care outreach programs, and boasts an alumni community of over 10,000 graduates and their families. One Day at a Time offers drug and alcohol services to individuals seeking shelter and support in their recovery efforts by utilizing a community-based recovery model and support system and allowing people to recover in the same environment in which they became addicted.
Our festival continues this legacy, bringing together the community to celebrate recovery, resilience, and the power of unity.
