Cultivating Inner Strength
A central theme in the recovery community is resilience. This internal force is not readily visible to others and often individuals may not even be aware of their own strength and fortitude until someone else sheds light on their grit.
To say that the teens and families Wedgwood serves display resilience would be an understatement. We have witnessed the community come together, embrace the collective adversity, fully embody the spirit of resilience, and work to overcome all kinds of roadblocks.
The Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment Services team continues to instill hope and encourage individuals who are struggling with an addiction. Living with an addiction, especially in your formative years, is a daunting task, and that anxiety has inevitably increased during a global pandemic. Our team of clinicians, case managers, and recovery coaches is committed to providing the highest quality treatment services. We extend grace and acceptance while planting seeds of hope, illuminating alternative paths for people to cope and process the crisis they have endured. Their worlds have been turned upside down, and our goal is to be there for them in support and engagement.
Through our various community outreach programs our treatment professionals are able to work with teens, adults, and families in order to promote healing and growth. We understand that it is crucial to not only address the individuals’ problem with addiction, but also help them overcome the barriers and obstacles that keep them stuck in a cyclical state of mind and behavior patterns that don’t allow for growth and resilience.
Resilience comes from one’s ability to cope and overcome emotional, psychological, and behavioral adversities. We take pride in our thoughtful and effective services and our ability to prepare, educate, and equip individuals to embrace their inner resilience and bounce back from addictive behaviors to sober lifestyles in which they can truly thrive.
