Venues for the festival include The Garage, Sin City, St James' Church on Walter Street, The Chattery, The Scene and Dylan Thomas's birthplace.
Ms Muir added: "Pili pala — Welsh for butterfly — is a symbol of recovery, and the festival is ultimately a celebration of the transformative role the arts can play in all forms of recovery.
"It's all about de-stigmatising perceptions of addiction and substance misuse, and celebrating the powerful role the arts play in changing lives."
