Recovery takes time

Alcohol and/or drug recovery takes time. Part of recovery is to accept that recovery is a life-time challenge.

Here are 6 factors affecting how successful recovery will be:
1. How quickly the individual adapts to change
2. How supportive your family and friends are in understanding the challenges you are facing
3. The type of drug/drugs the addict is using and the duration of use
4. The type of treatment
5. How disciplined the addict in staying away from friends who are using
6. How successful the addict is at avoiding “trigger places”
