Abstract
Recovery-based initiatives have been found to be effective for people with addiction. Recovery’s Got Talent, a talent show designed to enhance resiliency-based attributes for people in recovery, is an innovative initiative that works toward increasing positive self-concepts and social support for people in recovery. A total of 179 Recovery’s Got Talent participants completed a survey to determine the extent to which they perceived the event instilled hope, fostered self-esteem and self-efficacy, and provided a substitute for drugs and alcohol.
