Many thanks to ISSUP for sharing, Issue 199 which has the highlights of the global recovery landscape, showcasing research-backed tools, innovative practices, community-led initiatives, and lived experiences that define and drive recovery forward.

As a recovery support professional, I am delighted to see the progress being made and how the inclusion of science-based recovery services is transforming the integration of individuals post treatment and the resource mobilization component for those in recovery. All these help us to remove stigma when supporting those in recovery process.

The future looks bright with recovery support services - the awareness on Recovery Support Services that plays a major role in the long-term sustenance of recovery when individuals start to live a self directed life by embracing wellness too.
