Addiction is a chronic disease that has no cure, but there are effective solutions. Most people who go to treatment programs not only stop using drugs, they also improve their occupational, social and psychological functioning.
Much like learning to manage other chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, recovery from addiction involves learning to live differently—replacing what had been a drug-using lifestyle with healthy new routines, activities and interests. Scientific research identifies ongoing involvement in recovery-related activities as the best predictor of long-term sobriety. Active engagement is of utmost importance during the first 18 months of recovery when risk of relapse is most intense.
Participating in a Twelve Step or other mutual-help program, staying connected with your recovery community, and pursuing new recreational and creative interests are all important ways to sustain and strengthen your sobriety.
We realize that life can seem overwhelming during recovery. But you have made the right decision. Congratulations! You will soon be on your way to wellness. We will help guide you through the process, the resources, and obtaining the things you need to help restore your peace of mind.
