September is National Recovery Month.

You've probably heard someone say they're "in recovery." What does this actually mean? It means that they are in the process of change to improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and reach their full potential.

Recovery includes removal of substances or that which is causing harm, but it doesn't end there. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration defines recovery as an ongoing practice.

Core pillars to stand on:
❤️‍🩹Health. Managing the disease and making choices that support physical and emotional wellbeing.
🏡Home. A stable and safe place to live.
💡Purpose. Meaningful daily activity. Work, school, family, service, creating something.
👥Community. Relationships that offer support, friendship, love, and hope.

Recovery is not a cure, not perfection, and not a one-time thing. It's a journey.

For 60 years we've helped people recover here in Tennessee. Our long-standing history, clinical expertise, and dedicated staff are why so many families struggling with the disease of addiction choose Cumberland Heights as their healing place. Different people, different paths, same truth. Recovery is possible, and it doesn't happen alone.

If you're wondering whether it's time to reach out, you can start with a conversation or private assessment. We're here to help. 615-492-8649

We asked Sean Harrell what he'd say to the person on the other side of someone's substance use disorder. The family member, the spouse, the friend.

Sean has worked in the field of substance use disorder treatment since 1994, and he's been part of Cumberland Heights since 2004. Today he's the Extended Care Manager for Still Waters, which means he's the person our residents call when everyday life starts getting loud again.

He's had this conversation with a lot of families. The exhausted ones. The ones who have tried and failed. The ones who aren't sure there's anything left to try.

What he tells them is that he's watched seemingly hopeless cases turn all the way around. Not always quickly, and not necessarily as expected. But he's watched it happen time and again and knows there's always hope.

If you or someone you love is struggling, you don't have to have it all figured out. Cumberland Heights is here to help.

Today, Tennessee honors Overdose Awareness Day, and we're holding space for the people we've lost, and for everyone still writing their recovery story.

Substance use disorder is a chronic, treatable disease. It's not a personal failing, and it's not something anyone has to face alone. When shame or silence gets in the way of someone reaching out, that's a gap we can close together, with compassion instead of judgment.

Recovery is possible. If you or someone you love needs support, we're here. Call 866-611-4950 or visit cumberlandheights.org.
