This movement underscores the importance of wellness, connection, and presence at the heart of every journey.

Also known as "sober travel" or "dry tripping", several sources suggest today's travelers are increasingly interested in vacationing without taking a single sip of booze.

For many, Easter is a time for family, renewal, and new beginnings. But for others, it’s a quiet reminder of hidden struggles—battles with substance use, mental health, or feeling stuck.

At Recovery Centers of America, we’ve seen it time and again: someone walks in thinking all is lost, only to find that hope was never gone. It was just waiting to be rediscovered.

Hope is always in season. Even on the hardest days. Especially during the holidays.
