Letter from the Editor Recovery Month 2018

In the spirit of National Recovery Month, RecoveryView is proud to feature our annual  Recovery Edition! We are happy to announce, we will be releasing future editions based on themes in the spirit of recovery!

I’d like to dedicate this special edition to two beautiful men we lost this week. Tony Marquez a special friend of mine and wonderful human being. Tony worked at Hope by the Sea among other treatment centers through the years. Tony was a marketer extraordinaire! Christopher Kennedy Lawford, author and recovery advocate. Christopher was passionate about recovery and families suffering from addiction. Both of these men are angels guiding us all to continue with their work and legacy.

We would like to thank our edition sponsor, Satori Center for Wellbeing, which is now open in California and accepting new clients. Satori offers unique services to help integrate and align the physical body with your true spiritual self.

We would like to extend our gratitude to our amazing authors who have contributed to our Recovery Edition. We hope you immensely enjoy their informative and deeply engaging articles, and thank you for your continued support. Thank you to our Creative Editor, Anna Ponomarenko.

Becky Flood explains current challenges our current young adult populations faces in The Unique Needs of Emerging Adults in Our Addiction Rehab Program.

The article paints a vivid connection between current society pressures, the chemical imbalances of a young mind, and the value of specific treatment methods.

In the refreshing piece, You Don't Need Prince Charming, Sherry Gaba challenges the conception that we are biologically and culturally hardwired to find a marital partner.
