The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)Defines recovery as:

“Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.”

SAMHSA also identifies the four dimensions that support recovery to be:

Health - overcoming or managing one’s disease or symptoms and making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional wellbeing.

Home - having a stable and safe place to live.

Purpose - conducting meaningful daily activities and having the independence income, and resources to participate in society.

Community - having relationships and socialnetworks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.

These are the pillars that the Exodus RecoveryProgram is built on.
