The Purpose of Recovery: Crafting Unique Paths to Healing with Donella Cecrle
To me it's a real travesty that someone is kicked out of a program for a slip up where that should be a learning opportunity, a moment of okay, what happened here? Not what we need to do, or what do I need to tell you to do, but a learning opportunity.
What does recovery truly mean, and is it the same for everyone? In this episode of 'High While Clean', host Eric McCoy sits down with Donella Cecrle from The Purpose of Recovery to tackle these questions. Recovery isn't a one-size-fits-all journey; it's deeply personal and varies from person to person. Donella shares how her organization strives to identify and meet the unique needs of each individual, offering support that aligns with their specific goals and dreams.
Donella opens up about her own recovery journey, highlighting how a grief group within her program helped her cope with the loss of dreams and aspirations for her child. She emphasizes the importance of personalized care and innovative thinking in the recovery process. The conversation also touches on maintaining focus on recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic and exploring alternative treatment options.
Listeners will find value in Donella's insights on reducing stigma and meeting people where they are in their recovery journey. The episode wraps up with an invitation to attend the upcoming Recovery Rally on September 25, 2021, aimed at connecting local, state, and national recovery communities to support long-term recovery. Tune in to learn how The Purpose of Recovery is creating a model in Orange County that can be replicated across Southern California.
