Addiction Recovery Resources
At Recovery Ways, we know that individual and family healing doesn’t end when treatment concludes. Recovery is a life-long journey. It will always have it’s up and it downs, and sometimes you will need some inspiration and motivation. To support our patients and their families in continuing a journey of hope, healing, and recovery, we have provided the following list of useful resources. Below you will find recommended reading materials, partner websites, recovery movements and meeting locators. Our resources are reviewed and recommended by the Recovery Ways expert clinical team.
If you or a loved one is need of immediate help, please CONTACT US HERE or call 1-888-986-7848. If you have relapsed our admissions coordinators can help get you back in treatment. If you’re stable and in need of fellowship or want to get involved in the Recovery Ways sober community, have a look at our alumni program.
Advocacy Groups
One of the best ways to stay healthy, sober or drug-free is to build/join a strong recovery community that advocates for recovery. These organizations are one that can help you build out your sober network, stay involved and engaged in your recovery as well as inspire others to seek help for addiction and/or mental health issues.
