About Kelly Foundation

     The Kelly Foundation is a non-profit corporation committed exclusively to the service of substance abuse education and treatment. Foundation funds are used for development, production, and distribution of educational materials and training aids for counselors as well as for individuals in recovery; supporting treatment centers; and informing the public about the treatment of alcoholism and substance abuse.

     JOE McQ is the executive director of the Serenity Park, Inc. in Little Rock, Arkansas. For over 40 years, he has helped others recover from alcoholism and substance abuse. His service to treatment centers, government, industry, penal systems, higher education and self-help groups expresses his personal philosophy that "we are born to help one another."

     He's an alcoholic and considers' himself blessed to be one. Because his alcoholism has given him a unique and well -defined Purpose in life.

     For over 40 years, Joe has devoted himself to helping others discover the joy of recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction. As a speaker and author, he has always practiced and taught the fundamentals found solely in Alcoholics Anonymous, the "Big Book." Joe's commitment to the Big Book is deep-rooted. He believes it to be the only known method of real recovery. Yet the Big Book is a plan of action for the individual. And until recently, its potential has been limited in contemporary counseling. In 1989, Joe developed RECOVERY DYNAMICS so that the full force and power of the Big Book can be unleashed for effective use in clinical settings. RECOVERY DYNAMICS bridges the gap of understanding between the individual and the demands of formal treatment.

It's A First.

     Today, RECOVERY DYNAMICS is a complete treatment plan with a successful track record in over 300 facilities. Everything that's needed by the counselor and the client is all laid out. In sequence, and in plain language. Nothing bolder than the basics that have proven themselves effective time and time again.
