Substance use disorder recovery refers to overcoming addiction and achieving a healthier and more fulfilling life. It involves a range of physical, psychological, and social changes aimed at breaking free from the harmful cycle of substance misuse. Recovery also identifies four dimensions to support a healthy life. These include health, home, purpose, and community through which individuals can overcome addiction, rebuild their lives, and experience lasting positive change. It is a highly individualized journey, as the experience and needs of each person can vary. However, it typically involves several common elements like the principles of recovery, stages of change, recovery capital, coaches, and recovery centers.
