Recovery is holistic. Recovery has cultural
dimensions. Recovery exists on a
continuum of improved health and wellness.
Recovery is supported by peers and allies.
Recovery emerges from hope and gratitude.
Recovery involves a process of healing and self-redefinition.
Recovery involves addressing discrimination and transcending shame and stigma.
Recovery involves (re)joining and (re)building a life in the community.
Recovery is a reality. It can, will, and does happen.Source: CSAT White Paper: Guiding Principles and Elements of Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care
