Recovery Happens Here
What is recovery?
According to SAMHSA, “recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.”
Having hope that recovery is possible is the foundation of recovery. There is no “right” path to recovery; it is different for everyone. Methods include, but are not limited to, medication, peer and/or family support, faith-based programs, wilderness programs, and self-care.
The word “Recovery” has many meanings.
Every person can decide the meaning for themselves.
There are no Right or Wrong meanings.
YOU determine the words that work for YOU!
Recovery does not mean cured.
Recovery is a life-long process. Since setbacks are a natural part of life, building resilience is key. Learning coping skills to manage challenging times is critical to maintaining recovery.
The four major dimensions
of recovery.
Health
Overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms, and making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.
Home
Having a stable and safe place to live.
Purpose
Conducting meaningful daily activities, such as a job, school volunteerism, family caretaking, or creative endeavors, and the independence, income, and resources to participate in society.
Community
Having relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.
“Believe you can, and you’re halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Language matters!
A person with a substance use disorder and/or mental health condition should not be defined by that condition. They are a person first and choosing to use language that is supportive helps reduce stigma and the negative associations that go with addiction and mental health conditions.
