Greetings Addictions Committee Members:

Did you know that Recovery is an intensely personal experience that is hard to define in a general way? There are multiple pathways to recovery including treatment, faith/spirituality, natural, criminal justice interventions, support from individuals, and family, mutual assistance groups and recovery community centers. Everyone's journey results in their own unique experience of recovery. Therefore, recovery has many definitions, and it is hard to agree on a single one. It goes beyond abstinence alone to include a full re-engagement based on hope, resilience, health, and wellness and includes family, friends, and community. Recovery starts when a person begins to make better choices about his or her physical, mental and spiritual health. (OASAS, 2017).
