A positive mindset is the difference between focusing on the problem versus focusing on the solution. 💡

When we focus on what could go right rather than wrong, and try to find healthy, alternative solutions to life’s most challenging obstacles, we see life through a different lens. When we focus on the light, there is no longer room for darkness.

As you go about your day, whether you’re in the office or out running errands, try to find at least one positive solution or outcome. You never know how one simple mindset shift can completely change your entire outlook on life.

The first step is often the most challenging yet most rewarding.

We know how difficult it can be to reach out and ask for help. Addiction often traps us in guilt and shame, inhibiting us from seeking the treatment we deserve.

But we're here to help on your Road to Recovery.
If you or a loved one are looking to seek help for drug or alcohol addiction, then we invite you to call us at (877) 659-3581 or visit our website at https://positiverecovery.com for more information.

Today is 🧠

At Positive Recovery Centers, today, we choose to focus on making Mental Health and well-being a priority for all of us because Mental Health is Health! 💙

Here are a couple of ways to celebrate:

Take 5 minutes to journal your thoughts and feelings. 📝
One of the best ways to clear mental fog is to release all your thoughts and feelings on paper. Not only will you feel better, but you’ll be able to process why you feel the way you do and find healthy ways to approach your mental energy.

Call up a trusted friend or join a supportive community 👥
There is strength in numbers. When we have a supportive community, we begin to thrive. We can’t do this walk alone, but the beautiful thing is, we don’t have to! There are so many people out there who want to see you thrive and will help you in times of need. Sometimes, that simple phone call can remind you that you are loved!

Do you have a special way you’re celebrating World Mental health Day? We’d love to hear it! Let us know in the comments! 💭

We believe that addiction recovery is a familial journey, one that involves the entire family. Because when we heal, our entire family heals. At Positive Recovery, we offer Family Groups and Family Therapy to help the entire family.

If you or a loved one are in need of addiction treatment and are interested in learning more about our Family Groups, we are here for you. We invite you to call us 📞 at (877) 659-3581 or visit our website 💻 at https://positiverecovery.com for more information.

One of our Core Values at Positive Recovery Centers is to Make Everything Matter.

“By making everything matter, we create an environment that recognizes the importance of how we impact those around us. We make everything matter with our integrity, compassion, empathy, and willingness to go above and beyond.”

At Positive Recovery, we choose to celebrate all of our staff during National Recovery Month. Each day our leadership team delivers a token of our appreciation and gratitude to our staff, and we come together at our annual appreciation luncheons in Austin, Houston, and Dallas. Our Make Everything Matter t-shirts were designed by staff and are one of our Core Values.

Positive Recovery - the rehab of choice for those who need help and those who choose to work in the field of Substance Use Disorders.

Make Everything Matter:

“By making everything matter, we create an environment that recognizes the importance of how we impact those around us. We make everything matter with our integrity, compassion, empathy, and willingness to go above and beyond.” 🤝

The road to recovery isn’t always an easy one. Bad days are inevitable. But they don’t define you or your recovery journey.

The best thing you can do in challenging times is to allow yourself to feel your feelings. Give yourself a moment to grieve, don’t bottle it up. Write down your thoughts on a piece of paper or call a trusted friend.

Once you have held space for yourself during these moments, then you can take a deep breath and let it all flow out. Sometimes the best thing we can do is accept the hardships, show up in confidence using the tools we’ve learned along the way, and know that tomorrow is a brand new day.

Whether it’s a daily gratitude practice, a moment of prayer, meditative journaling, or another form of spiritual practice, having faith in something greater than ourselves can help us on our path to recovery.

If you or a loved one are in need of addiction treatment, we’ve got you covered. We invite you to call us at (877) 659-3581 or visit our website at https://positiverecovery.com for more information.

“How can I help my loved one who is battling addiction?”

Whether it’s a spouse, a parent, a child, or a close friend, seeing your loved one struggle with addiction is never easy. While it’s a tough journey, there are some things we can implement to help them recover and find healing.

One of the best things you can do is to extend grace and have compassion for them. They need to know you care and are there for them every step of the way. By loving them through the trials and pain, they will slowly begin to see they are worth fighting for.

We celebrate every single person who walks through our doors.
We celebrate their life, we celebrate their strengths, and we celebrate their recovery.

Addiction recovery may be a long and winding road, but it’s not one you have to go through alone. At Positive Recovery Centers, we believe that we are simply better together. Through the good and the bad, a strong community is everything.

If you’re on the journey to recovery and want to radically change your life for the better, let’s celebrate together. We invite you to call us at (877) 659-3581 or visit our website at https://positiverecovery.com for more information.

We love seeing different members and organizations within our community rallying together for a strong cause. 🤝
