What is Recovery?
Living in recovery with a behavioral health condition doesn’t mean that the condition disappears, nor does it mean the same thing as treatment. Treatment includes therapy, medication, and other clinical resources meant to help an individual reach stability. Recovery, however, is the process of achieving and maintaining a level of self-defined wellness through the use of personal recovery tools. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), there are four components to stable recovery: (1) Health, (2) Home, (3) Purpose, and (4) Community.
We provide evidence-based recovery education to people who want to improve their wellness. We also train people to enter the Peer Support Professional workforce or to become advocates so that they can continue spreading the message of recovery to others.
