30 in 30: Pathways

There is no one way to be in recovery. There are multiple paths that can lead a person to recovery. These pathways may include treatment, criminal justice interventions, faith/spirituality, self-help groups and more.

Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential. [1]  
There are many pathways to recovery.
