CREATING A CLEAR PATH THROUGH

A Continuous Recovery Concept

Get Involved

Our Mission and Hope For The Future

Unicorns & Polka Dots is an ally for individuals in recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). Recovery can feel overwhelming. Rebuilding confidence, rediscovering self-worth and redefining purpose are often the hardest steps on the journey forward. We are here to walk alongside individuals as they move beyond survival and build lives filled with stability, confidence and hope.
 

At the heart of our mission is access to meaningful life skills and supportive experiences. We identify and connect individuals with trusted, high-quality resources, working closely with recovery housing networks and peer support groups to meet people where they are. Activities are facilitated by trained professionals and supported by Certified Peer Supporters who help participants feel prepared, encouraged and supported every step of the way.
 

Through hands-on experiences and practical skill-building, individuals develop personal safety skills, face fears with support, strengthen self-efficacy and build emotional resilience. These protective factors lay a stronger foundation for long-term recovery and lasting sobriety.
 

Life skills may include continuing education, financial literacy, career development, job search support, self-care and physical wellness, goal setting, mentorship, healthy relationships, housing support and more. We envision our “Recovery College,” a continuous recovery model, as a compassionate, evolving network that empowers individuals not only to maintain sobriety but also to truly thrive.
 

Unicorns & Polka Dots does not claim to have all the answers. What we do have is a deep, genuine commitment to support individuals and families as they grow, heal, and build brighter futures together.

Joe and Karen with daughter, Brianna

Founded by Joe Brady and his wife, Karen, after their two daughters battled with SUD and they later lost their youngest daughter after she phased out of rehab—but tragically before she could enter a recovery home.

Our approach will be aligned to ensure that each person's specific needs are met at every stage of their recovery journey.  

Without reinventing the wheel, we align the quality recovery resources already available—and then supplement them with other tools and professional connections that together create a more comprehensive recovery program and a long-term solution.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH that meets each person's specific needs at every stage of their recovery journey.
