Georgia Recovery InitiativeGeorgia’s Definition of Recovery

• Recovery is a deeply

personal, unique and self-

determined journey through

which an individual strives

to reach his/her full

potential. Persons in

recovery improve their

health and wellness by

taking responsibility in

pursuing a fulfilling and

contributing life while

embracing the difficulties

one has faced

• Recovery is not a gift

from any system.

Recovery is nurtured by

relationships and

environments that provide

hope, empowerment,

choices and opportunities

• Recovery belongs to the

person. It is a right, and it

is the responsibility of us

all
