By Haley Kennedy, Recovery Coach – 10.14.2022 –
I believe that recovery can be initiated in treatment, but it really happens in the community.
From personal experience, I know just how important it is to my recovery, to keep myself busy in a safe environment alongside like-minded people. Luckily, over the years our community has seen how significant it is as well. Multiple Recovery Centers, that offer a ton of opportunities and resources, have popped up all over the county. They are all free (no referral or insurance needed) and open to the public. They’re naturally a great resource, but I thought even more so with the colder weather creeping up on us.
