THE BEST WAY TO DO IS TO BE -- LAO TSE
Recovery from addictive substance use behaviors begin with a holistic approach that addresses six dimensions of the whole person. "Stopping drug use is just one part of a long and complex recovery process. When people enter treatment, addiction has often caused serious consequences in their lives, possibly disrupting their health and how they function in their family lives, at work, and in the community." National Institute on Drug Abuse
Long-term recovery requires a change of thinking, doing, and being on the part of the substance user and the entire family. "You are your loved one's best chance at getting clean and sober." Beverly A. Buncher, founder of BALM Institute and Family Recovery Resources "Engaging families in recovery can improve communication, reduce stress, and increase success. Family members are often critical providers of support, love, and care throughout the recovery journey. But they need their own resources and networks. They need to share experiences and get help navigating the emotionally stressful recovery process of their loved ones." SAMHSA 5/15 |
