The Fifth Dimension of Recovery:  SOCIAL

The Importance of Social Connections in Recovery

Addiction is an isolating disease that wants us to be alone, and in recovery we must find ways to connect with others to counteract this tendency. According to Drs. Rob Whitley and Robert E. Drake in their article Recovery: A Dimensional Approach “social recovery involves establishing and maintaining rewarding relations with family, friends, peers, and significant others.”
