The journey to recovery is far from linear and everyone, from the people looking to begin their journey to those looking to support someone in recovery, struggles with the question of where to start and what it means to be in recovery. This lack of understanding impacts individuals seeking recovery as it affects the public and medical community that produce the infrastructures meant to support and help individuals along their path in recovery. We will delve into each stage of recovery and help attendees understand the journey when seeking treatment and recovery.
Learning Objectives:
Analyze the recovery continuum through the transtheoretical model, stages of change.
Analyze internal and external obstacles and motivators an individual in recovery may face across their journey into and through recovery.
Analyze the way individuals in recovery interact with the resources (medical and otherwise) throughout the stages of change
