Feb. 14, 2023 – Why does Partnership to End Addiction focus on supporting the parents and close family members of those struggling with addiction? Because study after study shows that when families are involved, outcomes are better.
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.
In our next video, author and advocate Ryan Hampton talks about what recovery is and what it isn’t, and how there is no one-size-fits-all journey to overcoming substance use disorder and addiction.
“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.”
