Recovery Advocacy
Recovery advocacy is a process of exerting influence to
advance public policies and programs that help initiate
and sustain recovery from addiction. By speaking out,
members of the recovery community can make a profound
difference in public understanding of addiction and
recovery, breaking down the wall of shame and stigma
that creates discrimination against people in recovery.

Know Your Rights
Written by the
Legal Action Center
for the federal
government’s
Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment,
"Know Your Rights" is an information-packed brochure
outlining federal laws that protect against
discrimination in employment and job training, housing,
health care, education and government services and
programs. It includes information about the legal
consequences of alcohol- and drug-related conduct that
can limit rights and opportunities and what an
individual can do to prevent or remedy violations to his
or her rights and overcome barriers due to drug- or alcohol-related conduct.
Know Your
Rights
can be ordered online or call

Recovery is
everywhere
A
small group of recovering addicts created this Web site
to change the way people think about substance abusers and
addiction.
You'll find
wristbands, calendars, CDs and free print ads and
postcards to run in your community to help fight stigma,
normalize recovery and offer hope.

From our visitors:
I recently had the pleasure of reading the article
that (Sara Solovitch) eloquently wrote about Hollie
and her recovery from the disease of addiction. I
wanted to thank you for writing such an honest
piece. Hollie and I were roommates during her entire
stay at Chrysalis House and we graduated on the same
day, March 22nd. We are great friends and sisters in
recovery. I am blessed to know her and truly
appreciate what you did. You are a champion for
showcasing the hope that people have who choose to
live instead of give into the disease of addiction.
Most sincerely, Susie Quinn
I
remember watching the "Saving Carrick" "Dateline"
special report, and thinking how I wished they had
mentioned more about methadone maintenance as a
treatment option ...
