What is recovery? Per the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, recovery is described as a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to achieve their full potential.
Recovery is a process, not an end goal.
The focus is on health and wellness, not sickness and disease.
The purpose is to live a productive meaningful life as defined and designed by each individual.
The recovery journey is unique and personal—there are many roads to recovery.
Mere survival of mental illness and substance abuse is not all there is. Thriving despite limitations of mental illness and substance abuse is possible.
Tribal Health’s Relay for Recovery is an event for all those in recovery or on the path to recovery from mental illness and or substance abuse, and including families, friends and allies who support those in recovery.
North Start: Parking lot of Collision Craft of Polson, 53466 US Highway 93, Polson.
