Addiction & RecoveryThe Center for Personal Development understands that addiction carries a stigma that may inhibit students from accessing services. Therefore, through our Recovery Awareness Campaign, we strive to create an atmosphere that supports abstinence and recovery by acknowledging the existence of addiction and the importance of treatment interventions and supports.
Alcohol is a progressive disease – that means there is no point at which someone wakes up one day and becomes an alcoholic. It happens gradually over time and even the individual doesn’t realize when he or she has crossed the line from simply drinking too much to full blown addiction. Some signs of addiction include:
If this sounds like you or someone you care about, let us help you with assessment, counseling and referrals. At the Center, we recognize that recovery is hard but achievable.
Recovery is the process of building a life free of alcohol and drugs and creating a healthy lifestyle that includes positive relationships, good health, satisfaction with school or work, and personal growth.
Recovery focuses on learning about addiction, building new habits, values clarification and making necessary life changes to support personal growth and finding satisfaction in everyday life.
