Recovery

Recovery is the next step after an individual suffering with opioid use disorder has achieved sobriety. While recovery may seem like the last step in an addiction cycle, it is a life-long, on-going step for those with substance-use disorders. There are transitional periods that may trigger someone to begin using again. People in recovery and their families should understand and use coping behaviors for long-term addiction recovery.
