Celebrating One Year: Reflections on Recovery and Substance Abuse Treatment
I always thought that one of the most powerful things you were offered as a graduate was the idea that, no matter when in your life, from That Day forward, you were to stumble upon a struggle and need to replug in to get yourself back together, that it was the privilege of a graduate on good standings that you could call any facility worldwide and the next available bed is for you.
Ever wondered how a year can change lives in the realm of recovery? In this special episode of 'ROACHE on RECOVERY', the hosts mark their first anniversary by taking a heartfelt look back at their journey.
