OUTCOME GOALS are focused on the final result or desired outcome of a specific effort or process. They center around achieving a particular end-state and are often influenced by external factors as well as personal actions.

While goals are important, they should be flexible and allow for setbacks. Recovery is a journey, not a race, and progress isn’t always linear. Celebrating wins and learning from challenges are equally valuable parts of the process.

🩺✨ Healthcare is a Human Right ✊💙 Everyone deserves access to compassionate, quality care — including support for substance use disorders and mental health. 💜🧠

🌟 Change is a Journey, Not a Race 🌟

No matter where you are on your journey to change, you’re exactly where you need to be. 💪 Here’s a reminder that every step counts!

The "stages of change" is a way we assess where an individual is in their process of entering recovery. They can be applied to a range of other behaviors that people would like to change, but have difficulty doing so. It is most well-recognized for its success in treating people with Substance Use Disorder.

No matter what stage of change you are in, we can point you toward resources for when you are ready for help.
