Recovery is Possible
Recovery is Possible: Finding Hope and Healing at Lafayette House
September marks National Recovery Month, a time when we come together to celebrate the journey of recovery and spread hope to those who are still struggling. At Lafayette House, we witness the transformative power of recovery every day through the courage and determination of the individuals we serve. Established in 1989, National Recovery Month has become a cornerstone in promoting evidence-based treatment practices and celebrating the achievements of those in recovery.
The Path to Healing
Recovery from substance use disorders is a deeply personal journey that looks different for everyone. While the path may seem daunting, it's important to know that you're not alone. Recent statistics show that more than 21 million Americans are living in recovery from substance use disorders, proving that healing is possible with the right support and resources. The journey of recovery touches every part of our society, with people in recovery serving as business leaders, public servants, and community leaders, showing that a fulfilling life after addiction is not just possible – it's happening every day.
The challenges of seeking treatment can feel overwhelming, but understanding that others have walked this path successfully can provide hope and encouragement. Each person's recovery story contributes to breaking down stigma and building a stronger support network for others who are just beginning their journey.
Opening Doors
One of the biggest challenges we face is that only 23% of individuals who need treatment for substance use disorders receive it. We're working to change this by providing accessible, comprehensive services for women and their children. Our 24/7 facility offers specialized treatment that recognizes the unique challenges women face when seeking recovery.
The barriers to treatment can be complex and varied, including concerns about transportation, and maintaining employment. That's why we've designed our programs to address these practical challenges alongside treatment. Our comprehensive approach ensures that women can focus on their recovery while knowing their essential needs and those of their children are being met.
