Recovery is an individualized process that typically involves detoxing, figuring out core issues and any co-occurring disorders whether they are of a physical or emotional in nature, and finding sober coping skills and techniques. One must utilize these skills and techniques in daily life as they find a sober support network, new places, and new things. They must begin to rediscover themselves regarding hobbies, interests, likes, and dislikes.

What are Some Recovery Pathways from Drug and Alcohol Dependency?

There are many support group choices including 12-step ones. Some of these include: Paths to Recovery: One Size Does Not Fit All

  • Alcoholics Anonymous: This everyday self-help group uses the “Big Book” to help guide the recovery process. A.A. allows members of any age, race, culture, and education.
  • Cocaine Anonymous: C.A. does not discriminate against anyone attending its meetings. It does require the individual to have a strong desire to quit the utilization of any mind-altering substances.
  • Crystal Meth Anonymous: C.M.A. supports their meetings via member donations. Anyone wishing to abstain from the use of drugs and alcohol is welcome to take part.
  • Marijuana Anonymous: M.A. allows anyone to attend their meetings as long as they are wanting to maintain sobriety from mind-altering substances, especially cannabis.
  • Narcotics Anonymous: N.A. began in 1953. It also does not turn individuals away. It utilizes contributions from members to continue with ongoing fellowship. They do not distinguish between any substances, including alcohol.

There are also support groups for co-occurring mental health or physical health difficulties. Loved ones, including family and friends, can be wonderful backing for your continued sobriety.

Your own desire to stop using drugs and alcohol is very important in ceasing the use of addictive substances. Sometimes children, work, or school can aid with this decision. Getting in trouble legally can even be a path to recovery. Probation officers may be great guides to getting you the treatment you personally need. There are also educational programs in jails to aid with sobriety. Treatment professionals, such as substance abuse counselors, mental health therapists, and psychiatrists, and general practitioners, may help you to heal in many aspects of your life. These may occur in many settings such as inpatient, residential, outpatient, intensive outpatient, or an emergency room. Faith and attendance at religious organizations can help you as well.

  • I have remained sober and it is because of DP. DP is the best place there is, hands down. I keep everyone there in my prayers, and I encourage everyone there to take what they are practicing and do it in their lives, after.

  • Discovery Place means the world to me. They showed me the tools that I’ve tried to use everyday in my life to think less often of myself, and more frequently of others. I am learning to lend a hand when I am able and to have a honest and humble relationship with God and the people around me. Not only am I clean and sober, but also I am happy and fulfilled.

  • When I got to Discovery Place my whole life was in shambles, but I didn’t know it. I spent 6 months in their programs, participating in all three phases, and was met with kindness and love all along the way. It is unbelievable to me, where I am now relative to where I was when I arrived at DP.

  • I can never say enough good things about Discovery Place and the people who work there. Before checking in to DP, I was out of options and out of answers. Fortunately, Discovery Place has a solution. Taking suggestions from the staff at DP saved my life, and as a result, I’m now more content and hopeful about life. I’m grateful for Discovery Place showing me how to live a healthy life so that I can become a better man and help the next guy.”
