Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Services for substance abuse

At Compass Recovery, we believe that recovery is more than just abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Recovery enables one to enjoy life without drinking or using and to live a meaningful life. Active addicts and alcoholics are cut off from their families, communities, and even their physical selves. Therefore, treatment at Compass Recovery is geared towards integration and connection!

The days after the holidays can feel heavy — routines are off, emotions linger, and the pressure to “be okay” can creep in.

Wherever you land today on this check-in, know that it’s valid.

Take a moment to pause and notice:
• How are you really feeling right now?
• What does your body need today?
• Who can you reach out to for support?

There’s no wrong place to be. Recovery isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness, honesty, and taking the next right step. One day at a time.

The holidays can bring a mix of emotions — joy, grief, nostalgia, stress, or something hard to name. Whatever today brings up for you, it’s okay to feel it.

You don’t have to perform happiness or push through discomfort.
Recovery is about honoring where you are, caring for yourself, and choosing what keeps you safe — especially on days that carry extra weight.

If tonight is quiet, let it be gentle.
If it’s heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone.
If it’s peaceful, allow yourself to rest in it.

However today feels, you are not doing recovery wrong. If you or someone you know is struggling please reach out to us. Call us today - 844-844-2915. We’re here with you. You don't have to face anything alone.

A new week doesn’t require perfection — just intention.
Recovery is built through small, supportive choices that create stability over time.

This weekly planner is a reminder that your days don’t need to be full — they need to be intentional.
Connection, grounding, structure, reflection — these moments add up.

👉 Swipe to see an example of a few recovery-related ideas you can build into your week.

Let Sunday be a day of rest and recharging. Recovery includes slowing down.

12/20/2025

If today calls for rest, listen.

Recovery isn’t about pushing nonstop — it’s about learning when to pause, recharge, and care for yourself without guilt.

Slow moments still move you forward.

12/18/2025

As the week winds down, it’s a good time to pause and check in with yourself. Transitions — especially into the weekend — can bring up stress, cravings, or mixed emotions.

Taking a few minutes to ground yourself now can make a big difference later.

There are many misconceptions about addiction — and these myths often prevent individuals and families from getting the help they need.
In reality, addiction is a chronic medical disease that affects the brain’s reward, motivation, and stress systems. It is not a moral failing, a lack of effort, or a simple matter of willpower.

Modern research shows that addiction alters neural pathways over time, making it increasingly difficult to stop without structured support, evidence-based treatment, and healthy coping skills. This is why compassionate, informed care is essential — and why stigma-free education matters.

At Compass Recovery, we work to correct these myths by helping clients and families understand the science of addiction, the impact it has on the brain and body, and the many pathways to healing.
Recovery is absolutely possible, and early intervention, supportive environments, and individualized treatment significantly improve outcomes.

If you or someone you love is struggling, know this:
Help is available. Healing is real. And no one has to walk this path alone. Call us today for more information or to start your path to recovery now. 844-844-2915.

Setting an intention gives your week direction, clarity, and purpose — especially in recovery ✨

It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about choosing one thing that supports your growth and showing up for yourself in small, meaningful ways.

What intention are you choosing this week?

12/12/2025

Weekends can be a time of both opportunity and vulnerability in recovery. Slowing down, changing routines, or being around different people can bring up emotions or cravings you didn’t expect.

That’s why having a Weekend Recovery Plan matters — it helps you stay grounded, intentional, and connected before challenges even show up.

As you head into the next few days, take a moment to check in with yourself:

• What do I need in order to feel supported?
• What environments help me feel steady and safe?
• Which coping skills feel easiest to reach for right now?
• What small choices can help me stay aligned with my recovery goals?
• And most importantly — what intention do I want to carry with me this weekend?

Your recovery deserves care, preparation, and compassion.
And you don’t have to navigate it alone. 💙

Coping skills are the foundation of long-term sobriety. They help you navigate cravings, regulate emotions, and stay grounded when life feels overwhelming. At Compass Recovery, we teach tools you can use anytime, anywhere — especially on the hard days.

Here are three core skills that support emotional regulation and recovery:

✨ Urge Surfing — Notice the craving without judging it. Breathe through the sensations and allow the urge to rise and fall like a wave, knowing it will pass if you don’t react to it.

✨ 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding — Use your senses to anchor yourself in the present moment by naming what you can see, touch, hear, smell, and taste. This helps interrupt spiraling thoughts and reduces anxiety.

✨ Reach Out Instead of Reacting — When you feel overwhelmed, choose connection instead of isolation. Call a trusted person, attend a meeting, or talk to someone who can help you pause and regroup.

Recovery isn’t about avoiding challenges — it’s about having the tools to move through them with support, awareness, and courage.

A: “No matter how bad you might feel right now, I promise that if you hold on and just keep doing the work it WILL get better!! One thing I learned working in this field and also being in recovery myself is that everything is fixable and we can always find a way through—unless we pick up a drink or a drug. And luckily, there are so many good people, both here at Compass and in the recovery community at large, who are always willing to reach out and help.”
