What does recovery mean?

RECOVERY “Recovery,” defined by the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.”

“The process of recovery is highly personal and occurs via many pathways. It may include clinical treatment, medications, faith-based approaches, peer support, family support, self-care, and other approaches. Recovery is characterized by continual growth and improvement in one’s health and wellness and managing setbacks. Because setbacks are a natural part of life, resilience becomes a key component of recovery. SAMHSA

Recovery is possible!

2 in 3 adults who ever had a mental health problem
7 in 10 adults who ever had a substance use problem”
