Recovery is about more than just stopping drug or alcohol use - it’s about building a life that feels meaningful, healthy, and connected. 

Recovery looks different for everyone and can mean different things for people. 

For some, it may involve complete abstinence. For others, it may include reducing harm, finding safer ways to cope, or working toward stability and well-being over time. It’s a personal journey, and there are many ways people can recover, but no one has to walk it alone. 

Recovery often means:

• Reconnecting with family, friends, or community
  
  

• Discovering purpose through work, volunteering, creativity or learning
  
  

• Gaining confidence, independence and a sense of hope
  
  

• Feeling part of something - not judged, but supported
