COMMUNITY
"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." – Margaret J. Wheatley

Why Community Involvement and Resilience Is Important in Recovery
Achieving a life of sustained sobriety is about so much more than just abstaining from drugs and alcohol. It often involves building personal resilience, overcoming emotional trauma, acquiring life-skills and developing a community support network, that fosters healthy family dynamics, nurturing friendships and peer support.
The typical recovery snapshot (particularly for those in their first year of recovery) often includes access to therapy or group counseling and regular attendance at a peer support group such as - Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous or a faith-based 12 step program - all of which can be the tangible difference between lasting sobriety verses relapse.
At Colusa County Recovery - we understand addiction - because we've been there.

Local Recovery Testimony
A GRATEFUL HEART SPEAKS OUT
Thank you Colusa County For Helping Me To Recover
There is a familiar saying that "every addict impacts six other people in their addiction." If this saying is true? It would also be true that every recovering addict would affect six other people in their recovery.
This means that recovery is possible through connection to others in the community, no matter how far down the scale a person has fallen. This includes easy access to services and support provided by the larger whole; including one-on-one counseling, relapse prevention classes, a community support network and 12 step meetings, all of which played a key role in building resilience, accountability and emotional wellbeing in my life; particularly when I was at my most vulnerable -- new in recovery.
As a person committed to abstinence and long term sobriety, it would be an oversight on my part, not to acknowledge the crucial role that my community played in my individual recovery; and my case is by no means unique. Most of us who arrive at the threshold of recovery are in need of a supportive hand to guide us through the recovery process; which is nearly impossible to do on our own. Asking for HELP is essential.
I am fortunate that when I walked into 'Colusa County Health and Human Services' with just a few days clean and no safe place to stay where drugs and alcohol were not being used -- that a compassionate social worker helped me. That beautiful soul (Grizelda) is truly one of Colusa County's unsung hero's and a fundamental part of my recovery story.
It is for these reasons and so many more that we created - ColusaCountyRecovery.com - as a celebration of the transformational power of community and the principles of recovery to turn hurting and dysfunctional addicts into responsible and caring members of our community, who in turn become 'beacons of hope' to those still caught up in the throes of addiction.
