Natural Pathways of Recovery is now available on Amazon
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
Albert Einstein
Most people get better. They just do not get better in the way we think they
should.
It can be very frightening and overwhelming if you or someone you love
has a problem with the use of alcohol or drugs. There is reason for hope, most
people do recover. The often-quoted studies of negative outcomes such as jails,
institutions or death are extremely unlikely and they are not the usual results
of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). This does not mean your situation is not
serious and important. It also does not mean that those drastic outcomes could
never happen to you or someone you care about. However, there is cause for hope
if we can understand what is actually happening and determine the best course
of treatment.
