Albuquerque Celebrates Recovery (ACR) was inspired by Adán Carriaga. Adán was a man with a mission and his mission was to ensure that everyone seeking recovery had love and support when they decide to get help. Sadly, Adán passed away in May 2021 so we are carrying on his mission to celebrate the millions of people in recovery. Every year, we award a person with the Adán Carriaga Leader in Recovery Award.​
