Many families have children in recovery, and what that word means to each can vary. While the recovery process can be challenging, there are ways to reduce the risks associated with substance use and promote well-being.

What is Recovery?

Safety First

Any step to reduce use or to lower the risks when using substances is a step toward wellness. Helping your loved one take prescription medications safely and keeping them as safe as possible if they use substances can be lifesaving.

Facts to know about recovery

“Recovery isn’t perfect,” Hampton says. “There can be challenges, hiccups, even slips, but these are opportunities to learn. Offering support, love, encouragement and resources can truly help a person change.”

Recovery is a process of change. People in recovery learn new ways to improve their health and wellness and to reach their full potential. However, it is truly a process where each person decides how to seek help, work through a substance use problem or a mental health challenge in their own unique way. The involvement of family and friends who believe in their loved one’s ability to recovery is critical to the long-term success of this recovery process.

Housing Supports

Safe and stable housing is one of the most important needs when it comes to recovery and well-being.
