Concerned individuals working to eliminate barriers to recovery from addiction
From Faces & Voices of Recovery
“Recovery” from addiction to alcohol and other drugs is a human experience as old as the human race itself.
It was not until the past decade that federal agencies, policy makers, service providers, and clinicians have begun considering recovery as a desirable outcome that is gradually supplanting mere reductions in drug and alcohol use as the goal of addiction treatment services.
