Recovery is a journey, not a destination. Taking the first step toward recovery from a substance use disorder can be difficult. But remember, it's a sign of strength.💜

Treatment is unique to you.
Treatment works.
Recovery is possible.

January is Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, and this month's theme is “Treatment Works! Find the Path that Works for You.”

If you or someone you know needs help, there are people who care. 💜

➡️ Contact Highland Rivers Behavioral Health to learn more about services in your community by calling 1-800-729-5700.

🚨 If you are in crisis, the 988 Su***de and Crisis Lifeline is here for you; anytime, anywhere. Judgement-free support is just three digits away: 988.
