A simple checklist for your recovery: your first 10 days, then one step at a time from the basics to long-term goals. Each step links to free or low-cost help on our Client Resources page.
Your recovery checklist
Built on the idea that you handle the basics first (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), then build up. Check things off as you go. Each item links to the part of our Client Resources page that can help.
