To encourage recovery, the agency adopts the following ten fundamental components of recovery developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA):
Recovery encompasses an individual’s entire life including mind, body, spirit, and community.
Authority to choose from a range of options and to participate in all decisions that will affect their lives.
A catalyst of the recovery process, providing the essential, motivating message of a better future.
Recovery is not a step-by-step process, but one based on continual growth, occasional set backs, and learning from experience.
By building on their strengths, individuals move forward through interaction with others in supportive, trust-based relationships.
Self-acceptance and regaining belief in one’s self ensures the inclusion and full participation of individuals in all aspects of their lives.
The recovery process must be self-directed. Defining life goals and designing unique paths to meet goals.
Recovery is based on each individual’s unique strengths and resiliency as well as his/her needs, experiences, and cultural background in all of its diverse representations.
Encourage and engage other individuals in recovery and promote each other with a sense of belonging, supportive relationships, valued roles, and community.
To understand and give meaning to their experiences and identify the coping strategies and healing processes which will promote their own wellness.
