POWER

POWER http://power-recovery.com More than 23 million Americans suffer from alcoholism and drug addiction, but only 11% receive treatment.

Women are the fastest-growing segment of substance users in the United States, with an estimated 2.7 million women abusing drugs or alcohol. Most women (66-90%) in treatment report histories of trauma, which may include domestic violence, early childhood sexual assault, physical abuse or neglect, loss of a child, or other traumatic experiences. Our staff is trained to understand the impact of trauma on recovery and our care reflects that understanding.

The generosity that touches POWER clients on the holidays also reaches their children. This is Teresa Flaherty of Christ Our Savior Parish bringing gifts for the children of POWER clients.

In ONE word, we asked our staff to answer what recovery means to them. Here is what they said!

For over 30 years, September has been National Recovery Month. Wanting to recognize and celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of those on the recovery journey from addiction, this month is a reminder that recovery is possible. Addiction is not a matter of weak willpower or moral failing. It’s a chronic disease that affects the brain’s reward, motivation, and memory functions. #nationalrecoverymonth #shedidntchoosethis
