In
general medicine and psychiatry recovery has been used as a term meaning the
end of an experience or an episode of illness.
A larger concept of “recovery” as a philosophy had become popular in
regard to recovery from substance abuse or drug addiction, which for example is
within the twelve step programs. The use
of recovery is recent to psychiatric disorders and its movement of self help
and the advocacy came forward during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The attitude of psychiatric rehabilitation
began to incorporate it in the 1990’s in the United States followed by other
countries.
There
are Elements of recovery which are being stressed about in that each person’s
journey is a very deep and personal process related to that persons place in
the community and society. There is
Hope, finding it as a key to recovery.
It is not just optimism but a belief in yourself and the will to persevere
through setbacks. Hope is not only
trusting, yet it also means risking failure and overcoming such.
A
secure base or housing, sufficient income, freedom from violence and access to
health care is also a part of recovery.
This is how a person builds personal visions and strength instead of
being institutionalized. Recovery is a sense
of self and self esteem. Moving away
from insecurity and nurturing a personal space that allows development of
understanding, wisdom and growth through spirituality.
Empowerment
and self determination are important to recovery which includes self control. This means developing self confidence for
independence and decision making, challenging stigma and prejudice about ones
differences and or mental stability.
These ideas in “Recovery” highlight my attitude in maintaining self
esteem and strength. Though I have been
in a state of weakness for many years because of addictions prior to my
optimistic insight believing I can achieve through understanding and faith, I
would like to believe that others can find Hope as their key to recovery and
freedom from their fears so that they can build a sense of self and have a more
meaningful life.
