After his release from prison in the early 1990s, Arnold and his wife started a support program for drug addicted musicians called the Musician's Assistance Program (MAP) in Los Angeles , which was supported by the record industry. With his aid program, for example, Arnold supported drummer Erik Sandin from the Californian punk rock band NOFX in 1992 to successfully overcome his heroin addiction during a two-month hospital stay.
