Description: According the SAMHSA, there are ten guiding principles of recovery:

1. Recovery emerges from hope
2. Recovery is person-driven
3. Recovery occurs via many pathways
4. Recovery is holistic
5. Recovery is supported by peers and allies
6. Recovery is supported through relationship and social networks
7. Recovery is culturally based and influenced
8. Recovery is supported by addressing trauma
9. Recovery involves individual, family and community strengths and responsibilities
10. Recovery is based on respect

Designed specifically for addiction professionals, this webinar will define each guiding principle of recovery, outline how each guiding principle incorporates into addiction practice and provide examples of recovery-oriented practices, services and tools.  The presenters will also review commonly accepted recovery-oriented competencies and education for the addiction profession.
