Recovery

When we talk about mental illnesses and substance use problems, it’s easy to talk in clinical terms: that person has this symptom, or that person uses a certain drug. But recovery is so much bigger than a checklist.

Media

The media plays a big part in the way we understand substance use. However, not all information is good information. Poor-quality information can support negative biases while good-quality information can help us learn and support positive changes in our lives. In this section, you’ll learn more about the role of media and how to choose the best information for your situation.
