Our panel emphasizes the shift from a one-size-fits-all approach to a more individualized model of recovery, recognizing that every person's pathway into substance use is unique. This episode dives into what recovery looks like for people with OUD and whether recovery ever truly ends. We also discuss how a return to use can be part of many individuals' recovery stories.
