The Foundation of Change ─ 5 Key Elements for Recovery

One of the greatest problems we have in America is underestimating the power of substance use addiction.  Recent data for the Centers for Disease Control (2017) showed that an estimated 142 people in the US die every day from a drug overdose and relapse rates average between 65-90% within one year of treatment. 

With daunting outcomes for individuals who are unable to maintain abstinence, the need to improve long-term substance use recovery has never been more vital. 

At Point 21 Recovery, we work on the development of five key elements that make the difference between people who achieve sustainable recovery and those who continued to struggle with lifelong addiction. These five elements act as the foundation from which recovery is built.

Foundations of faith, motivation, health, self, and action are used to reinforce positive mental processes by incorporating basic fundamental truths and evidence-based tools necessary for personal transformation. Each foundation works to reverse self-defeating behaviors and thoughts, address core issues, and refine interpersonal principles that support personal growth and provide lasting recovery.
