Recovery Tips

Supporting you on your journey.

What is Recovery?

Recovery is a journey. The path you take to recovery may look different for you than others. Pathways to recovery include many activities that promote overall health and well-being, such as going to your peer support meetings, seeking treatment, connecting with community resources, or developing and maintaining an ongoing network of support.

Your own recovery journey will likely look different over time, as your circumstances change and your recovery progresses. Wherever you are in your recovery journey, we’re here to meet you where you are and support you. Having allies and a community of support committed to helping you reach your goals is a major part of sustaining long-term recovery.
