A New Horizon Recovery Center helps clients express journey in art showcase
For people in recovery from addiction, art can be an outlet. Amanda Spencer, a certified peer support specialist at A New Horizon community recovery center in downtown Bloomington, knows this firsthand.
Spencer said she uses art to channel her emotions.
“Because sometimes it's really hard to process them and sort them out,” she said. “(With art), I can just kind of almost go into a meditative state… and it helps me to just organize the thoughts and the feelings, whether they're a little heavy ones or whether they're really light-hearted and fun ones.”
