Because of stigma, it takes courage to open up about substance use or mental health challenges and start a recovery journey. Recovery is a journey of hope, taken step by step, so a person can strengthen their whole self, including mind, body, spirit, home, and community. At CVC, we challenge stigmas by creating spaces where people aren’t shamed for their current or past struggles. We build our programs to meet people’s holistic needs while building relationships rooted in trust, dignity, and empowerment. Sometimes the first step to recovery is an honest, compassionate conversation.

Recovery is a process where people improve their health and well-being, take charge of their own lives, and work toward their full potential. At CVC, harm reduction is at the core of our philosophy. Recovery means meeting people where they are and offering a nonjudgmental path to care. It’s about setting goals step by step, while supporting the whole person with health, housing, food, warmth, and community. With the right support, people in recovery use their incredible strength to move forward, create stability, and improve their quality of life. Learn more at samhsa.gov/recovery. (fb)
