A mother shares her story about how her family has been plagued by addiction and her determination to help her daughter recover from surgery without the use of opiates.
"I was never given instructions about alternative pain management and I didn’t think to ask. The difference, now, was that my brother was an addict. What if I gave my children pain pills and they became addicted too?"

Happy first day of fall!
Self-care is an important part of the addiction recovery process!
Successful addiction recovery requires replacing substance use with healthier alternatives. Without self-care, the ability to cope with cravings and triggers is compromised. Self-care increases mood, energy, and motivation. One small act of self-care can lead to healthier choices and improved self confidence.
Adverse childhood experiences can cause a wide range of mental disorders throughout adolescence and adulthood. Children who are abused, neglected, or experience a traumatic event are at risk of mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorders, social phobia, addiction, or eating disorders. Therefore, treatment is often necessary to help a victim manage the systems and live a fuller, healthier life beyond trauma.

Is Stress a Factor of Your Addiction?
For someone in recovery, the stigma of addiction can last well into sobriety. Often, this can cause relapse or self-isolation. Being able to openly talk about recovery sometimes comes at a cost. Those in recovery may feel like they receive unequal treatment due to their history of substance use.

What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a therapy that can help people express themselves through creative outlets. It can be difficult sometimes to express complex thoughts and emotions verbally.
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that can be combined with mental health and substance abuse treatment to release repressed emotions and address negative thoughts through these creative outlets.
