Community Recovery Community recovery is a practical health and human service approach that promotes health, safety and addiction recovery in a given community. The current health systems, which address alcohol and drug problems, are not reducing alcohol and drug problems. The systems so heavily invest in treating casualties that there are inadequate financial resources remaining for the development of safe and healthy community environments necessary for the proper promotion of addiction recovery and life style enhancements. Improving the condition of addicted persons is dependent upon health care professionals. Addiction health care treatment, no matter how good the quality, is too costly per person assisted to significantly reduce addiction problems.
Staff promotes individual recovery responsibility.
Community recovery centers, activities and housing are easily adaptable to meet the broad ethnic, cultural and physically challenged needs. Community recovery resources may be assisting more alcoholics, addicts and family members in recovery from alcoholism and drug other addictions than those being supported by government and health insurers treatment programs. Sober living housing is a community recovery resource that was created by grassroots constituents to meet the needs of low-income persons. The development and operation of sober housing is that deserves respect and recognition. Sober homes are exempt from state licensing requirements since they do not provide formal recovery or treatment services.
