Change often begins with medication-assisted recovery. However, recovery is a process, and life after addiction requires some attention and care. Deciding how you want to lead your life in recovery will help you create new habits that support your physical and mental health, improve your outlook on life, and enjoy each day to the fullest.

As recovery continues, you’ll start to feel better and may have more energy and interest in new activities. A person in recovery will also need to find time for therapy and other support systems. A good way to embrace the recovery process is with healthy new routines.
