The Seven Standards of Recovery
The Seven Standards help people name the real-life pieces of recovery: safety, clarity, motivation, structure, environment, purpose, and support.
Clarity helps you see the next right step.
Motivation begins with a reason to stay alive.
Structure turns hope into something repeatable.
Growth needs people, places, and routines that protect it.
Recovery includes rebuilding identity after survival.
Connection creates lasting support for recovery.
