PREVENTION – TREATMENT – RECOVERY
The three main components of Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery.
Prevention involves efforts to deter the use of substances, while treatment entails seeking inpatient and/or outpatient care for substance use disorders. Recovery refers to the post-treatment process, which may include participation in support groups or residing in recovery homes. While these are foundational definitions, each component encompasses a broad range of practices. For more information on prevention or treatment, please click one of the links below.
RECOVERY RESOURCES
According to the Federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), recovery is “a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential.”
Recovery isn’t merely a possibility—it’s a concrete reality. It’s a transformative journey that requires a diverse array of resources to restore the well-being of individuals and families. While some may find recovery through medical stabilization and clinical treatment, others may initiate their journey through spiritual experiences and support from peers who have overcome over similar challenges. The path of recovery is deeply personal and unique to each individual, yet its impact extends far beyond oneself, touching the lives of loved ones and rippling throughout communities.
Recovery is marked by immediate access to resources and long-term relationships. There is often a brief window of time when an individual decides that he/she is ready for help, and in such instances, every moment counts. Resources are available to support both individuals and their family members throughout recovery. From support groups to recovery residences, numerous options exist to help individuals find the approach that best suits their needs. It’s important to remember that each person is unique, and therefore, their road to recovery will look different as well.
