Recovery is a process of change through which individuals work to improve their health and well-being, live a self-directed life, strive to achieve their full potential and contribute to one’s family and community as a healthy, productive citizen. Recovery is a reality in the daily lives of millions. Many pathways to recovery exist and can be supported with dignity and respect. Recovery flourishes in supportive communities where recovering people are part of the solution. Recovery provides innumerable opportunities to heal, grow and be of service to others who are seeking support, care and resources.
