Methadone started out as a medication created during World War II as a strong pain reliever. Now, it is commonly known as a medication that is used in addiction treatment programs to treat opioid use disorder. However, methadone is an opioid itself, and for some, the "cure" can turn into its own addiction.

International Human Solidarity Day is all about showing up for one another - especially when life feels heavy. It’s a reminder that we’re connected, and that support can come in simple, human ways: listening, checking in, offering kindness, or just being there. Recovery and mental health journeys get a little easier when we don’t have to carry everything alone.

Today’s a good day to reach out, lift someone up, and remind them they’re not doing this by themselves.

At Pathways Recovery, we believe healing doesn’t only happen within the individual - for many, it requires reconnecting, understanding, and repairing relationships with family. Generational trauma often courses through family lines, silently shaping behaviors, beliefs, and emotional patterns. By bringing family into therapy, we can shine a light on these legacies and begin breaking cycles that have persisted for decades.

Research supports that individuals who struggle with addiction experience lower self-esteem than non-addicts. However, addiction recovery offers individuals the opportunity to not just overcome their addiction, but rebuild their self-esteem and confidence so they can improve their health and happiness for the better.
