The Power of Parenting: My child is in recovery

Recovery is a journey, not an event. It is more than not using alcohol and/or drugs; it includes all aspects of life from social activities to health and wellness. It is important for your child to focus on finding a healthy, new direction he or she wishes to take and developing a realistic plan to achieve goals. Keep in mind, sobriety slips may happen, so having a plan on how to deal with them is important.
