White Papers Week 3: Pathways to Recovery

Bridging the Gap

Embrace and Understanding of the Many Pathways to Recovery
Michael MIller Headshot
Michael MIller

Introduction

Our broader society, as well as communities of recovery have both limited understanding of (and access to) the many pathways an individual can take to address a substance use disorder. Furthermore, there are prejudices that exist between pathways, limiting our understanding of alternatives, of each other and our ability to help those seeking or are new to recovery. For too long society has had a singular idea of what recovery looks like. We’ve pictured individuals in a circle of chairs encouraging each other and sharing about life’s difficulties. While this form of recovery has worked for countless millions across the world, it is neither the only, nor the ultimate way for all. The prejudices that exist between mutual-aid groups and others can only serve to divide the recovery community and alienate those seeking help.
