Addiction Recovery Write For Us

Addiction Recovery, also known as the recovery approach or psychological recovery, treats mental illness or drug abuse by emphasizing and supporting a person’s ability to heal. Recovery rejects the sane-insane dichotomy, seeing symptoms as a continuation of the norm rather than an outlier. In this paradigm, recovery is viewed as a personal journey rather than a predetermined end, involving the development of hope, a solid basis and sense of self, supportive relationships, empowerment, social inclusion, coping skills, and purpose.

In 1993, William Anthony, Director of the Boston Centre for Psychiatric Rehabilitation, came up with a charming description of mental health rehabilitation. “Recovery is a very personal, one-of-a-kind process of shifting one’s attitudes, beliefs, feelings, objectives, abilities, and roles. It’s a means of living a happy, joyous, and useful life despite the restrictions imposed by the disease. As one matures beyond the disastrous impacts of mental illness, recovery entails the creation of new meaning and purpose in one’s life.”
