What is recovery support?
Recovery is defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential." People can and do recover from addiction and mental health disorders. Find tools to help.
