Your Path to Recovery
Each year substance abuse affects more than one in 13 Americans. And every day many of these same people are learning that recovering from this disease is real and possible. A good first step may be to seek the advice of your provider, professional counselor or therapist to discuss the many different treatment options available. New medication therapy or a combination of medication and talk therapy offers hope for recovery. Support groups, with the shared wisdom and experiences of others facing similar challenges, are also an important part of ongoing recovery.
We hope this edition of Your Source can help you find the path to recovery that is right for you or someone you care about.
