Our co-founder, Rev. Vernon Johnson said,

“Chemical dependence is a TREATABLE illness that we can ALL do something about.”

Johnson Institute has pioneered better practices and better policies for addiction prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery. Public understanding of addiction disease is growing; now is the time to change how America responds to this illness.

Today, we host and sponsor many events shining a new light on addiction recovery.

America Honors Recovery

In 2004, the Johnson Institute designed the America Honors Recovery Awards luncheon. The purpose of the awards is to recognize individuals who have been affected or afflicted by alcohol and other drug addiction, have overcome that circumstance, and have given back to their communities so that future generations may know the power and possibility of recovery.

Recovery Ambassadors

The Recovery Ambassador program began in late 2003, and since then the Johnson Institute has held over 30 one-day workshops across the country and trained more than 1,500 people to organize, mobilize, and educate their communities about recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction making the chances for recovery better for the next generation.

The National Forum

During the 1990s, leading national organizations serving the addiction field – including prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery – identified the need to build bridges with each other as well as with institutions throughout society. The Johnson Institute was asked to host a gathering of top executives that now includes more than 50 national organizations. The Forum convenes every spring and fall in Washington, DC.
