Many people have a different understanding of what recovery means. MELDAP uses the definition that “recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life and strive to reach their full potential”.
If you are just setting out on your recovery then remember to take it slowly and one step at a time.
