What Is Addiction Recovery? A Complete Guide

Addiction recovery is the ongoing process of stopping the use of drugs or alcohol and rebuilding a healthy, meaningful and fulfilling life. It is not a single event but a journey — one that is entirely possible with the right support.

At New Beginnings Recovery Home in Toronto, addiction recovery typically begins with a safe, medically supervised inpatient stay, followed by evidence-based therapy and long-term aftercare.

The key stages of addiction recovery include:

  • Reaching out and admission
  • Stabilization and medical support
  • Individual and group therapy (CBT, DBT, SMART Recovery)
  • Building real-world life skills
  • Aftercare and ongoing community support
