Being in recoveryis when those positive shifts and values become part of a voluntarily adopted lifestyle. Even people with severe and chronic opioid misuse disorders can, with help, overcome their addiction and regain health and social function. Each individual's recovery journey is different, so what may work for adults may be different for youth or older adults.
There are four important factors that support recovery:
Health- overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms and making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.
Home- having a stable and safe place to live.
Purpose- conducting meaningful daily activities and having the independence, income, and resources to participate in society.
Community- having relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.
The road to recovery may be overwhelming at first, but the point is to get started. Here are a few tips on how to take those first steps toward sobriety.
