What Recovery Means
Recovery means something different to everyone, and while our approach is individualized to each person, there are some basic beliefs and guidelines we follow:
Relationships are important. We make efforts to meet people where they are at and understand that their symptoms, stigma, trauma, and negative treatment experiences can all be obstacles to their getting help.
People can recover. With high-quality treatment and services from Southwest Network, you can heal, rebuild, grow, and achieve things you never thought possible. Our caring team provides encouragement, support, and opportunities, while helping you create meaning connections in the community to provide you a support system beyond us.
Recovery is a collaborative process and requires ongoing effort and commitment from the person who is recovering. Recovery is built upon the strengths inside a person that enable them to overcome. Recovery is most clearly seen from the individual’s point of view. We emphasize individual inclusion and active participation.
Recovery includes a process of healing from the symptoms of the illness itself, and also from trauma, destruction, and rejection. Our sites are places of listening and empathy, acceptance, and safety — sanctuaries where you can grow and overcome your mental health challenges.
Quality of life is important. Recovery isn’t achieved when an illness is successfully treated. Recovery is achieved when a life is rebuilt, even if the illness persists. People may need a great deal of direct support, guidance, opportunity creation, and learning skills to rebuild their lives
Life occurs out in the community, not inside a program, even a pleasant one. Recovery is a return to a web of relationships — personal, familial, intimate, neighborly, and spiritual. Many other parts of our community need to contribute to recovery.
