ABSTRACT
The CoATT Model empowers participants to take ownership of their recovery and create an artistic expression in service of reconnection to the community at large. The six principles include: 1) CoATT productions answer a question; 2) participants must identify as being in active recovery; 3) CoATT is co-active in all elements of creation, performance, and interdisciplinary collaboration; 4) CoATT is not autobiographical; 5) CoATT requires a public performance; 6) CoATT is manualized, and therefore offered at a specific time trajectory in the treatment continuum. This chapter discusses the mechanisms of transformation in a CoATT production.
