This World Hepatitis Day, we urge everyone to break the silence, spread the word and take action - because early diagnosis and treatment saves lives.

According to SAMHSA, recovery is more than just overcoming substance use - it's a dynamic process of change that empower individuals to live meaningful, self-directed lives. At the heart of this journey are four key dimensions: health, home, purpose and community. These pillars reflect the holistic nature of recovery and support long-term healing on every level. 💙

We integrate these principles into every aspect of care, helping individuals build stable, fulfilling lives beyond substance use. Recovery isn't linear and no one should have to walk it alone. If you or someone you love is ready for the next step, we're here to help.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is one of the most effective tools we have to treat opioid use disorder. But despite years of research, it's still surrounded by myths and stigma that can prevent people from getting the care they need. From "replacing one addiction with another" to the belief that MAT is only for short-term use, these misconceptions can be harmful.

👉 Check out our latest blog as we break down 7 of the most common MAT myths and help set the record straight with facts: https://www.bhgrecovery.com/blog/myths-about-medication-assisted-treatment

Did you know BHG partners with law enforcement to help individuals get the care they need?

These collaborations make it easier for people to stay in treatment, avoid setbacks and find support when it matters most. It's one more way we're working to support recovery and community health.

Recovery isn't easy but with the right support, it's always possible.

One of our patients shared how, after trying multiple treatment centers, they found the care they truly needed was at BHG. Our Charleston Treatment Center team helped them stay in treatment through a state-funded grant – because recovery shouldn’t stop when life gets hard.

This is what recovery looks like: compassion, consistency and care that meets you where you are.
