What is the primary goal of recovery support?

  1. To isolate individuals from community resources

  2. To remove barriers and promote recovery

  3. To provide only financial support

  4. To enforce strict compliance with treatment

The correct answer is: To remove barriers and promote recovery

The primary goal of recovery support is to remove barriers and promote recovery. This approach emphasizes creating an environment where individuals can thrive as they work through their recovery journey. By addressing obstacles—such as access to resources, social stigma, or psychological challenges—recovery support facilitates a smoother path toward achieving long-term sobriety and wellness. Promoting recovery involves offering emotional, social, and practical support tailored to the individual's unique needs. This might include connecting them with community resources, fostering personal growth, and reinforcing positive behaviors that contribute to sustained recovery. The focus is on empowering individuals and helping them build resilience, rather than isolating them, providing limited types of support, or enforcing strict rules. This holistic focus on removing barriers is fundamental to successful recovery.
