Over the past year, millions of Americans have either begun or
continued their journey of recovery from mental and/or
substance use disorders.
For many, an important part of this journey is
making their voices heard and sharing their stories.
While their stories describe their struggles and challenges,
they are finding recovery and walking together
on pathways to wellness.
As we hear their stories, we will learn that, while
the journey of recovery follows many different pathways,
progress on every one of those pathways depends on
relationships marked by care, support, and respect.
People in recovery have reclaimed their lives and
are now giving back.
They have jobs, pay taxes, raise families, and volunteer in
their communities- giving back every day.
More and more, we see that prevention works,
treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
