Recovery

Recovery from addiction is a process of gaining sobriety, hope, and joy, as well as contributing to one’s family and community as a healthy, productive person.  Recovery from addiction is a reality every day in thousands of lives.  Many pathways to recovery exist.  Recovery flourishes in supportive communities. Recovering and recovered people are part of the solution; recovery gives back what addiction has taken.

  2. for adults seeking help
  3. for parents or guardians seeking help for their teen or young adult child
  4. for people trying to help an adult loved one
