Recovery
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines Recovery as “a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.”
Dimensions that support a life in Recovery:
-
Health: Overcoming and managing a disease, abstaining from substances if the person has an addiction and making choices that support physical and emotional well-being. -
Home: A safe, stable place to live.
-
Purpose: Taking part in meaningful activities such as a job, school, volunteer work while becoming independent and able to support self.
-
Community: Developing relationships that provide support, friendship, love and hope.
