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 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. Delve into each stage of recovery and gain greater understanding of the journey of seeking treatment and recovery.

Learning Objectives:

Analyze the recovery continuum through the trantheorectial model, stages of change.
Explore internal and external obstacles and motivators an individual may face across their journey into and through recovery.
Understand how individuals in recovery interact with the resources – medical and otherwise – throughout the stages of change.
