Multiple Pathways to Recovery
Recovery and harm reduction share foundational principles: autonomy, dignity, compassion, and community belonging. Systems that prioritize ideological purity (abstinence-only or harm reduction only) risk excluding individuals at critical moments of vulnerability. A comprehensive and humane continuum of care must allow for honest, non-linear recovery journeys and multiple valid outcomes, whether that be sobriety or something else.
