Getting Started in a Health-Based Recovery
The following is a step-by-step path for getting started in a Health-Based Recovery.
Step One: Choose a Recovery Path
One of the first decisions you will make in a health-based recovery is whether you will be attempting this year-long recovery process by yourself or with professional help. Each option can lead you to health — though some come with greater risk. Take a minute to explore the differences:
Self-Help Path (Free)
All of the tools you will need to successfully navigate your recovery from addiction to health are here — free. In a self-help recovery, you gain access to all of the workshop lessons as well as access to the community forums for feedback and questions. This path requires that you have adequate organizational and time management skills. It may be free, but this is a comprehensive workshop that requires a significant investment of your time and energy.- Comprehensive Recovery Workshop

Additionally, you gain access to the following recovery tools:- Comprehensive Screening and Assessment
- Comprehensive Recovery Workshop
- Recovery Forum (for community-based feedback)
