The Engage Recovery Resource Guide Series provides accessible overviews of substance use, recovery supports, and the systems that promote individual and community well-being.

There is no single way to pursue recovery. Individuals and families engage a wide range of supports shaped by culture, community, faith, lived experience, personal preference, and access. This guide offers an overview of several mutual-aid and recovery support pathways commonly recognized in the United States. It is designed as a starting point for exploration, not a comprehensive directory. Many valuable resources and approaches are not included here, and their absence does not diminish their importance. Likewise, inclusion in this guide does not constitute an endorsement. Our goal is to reflect the diversity of recovery experiences and support informed choice by recognizing that healing can take many forms.
