Success Stories from Wabash Recovery

Our Core Values

A man is standing on a beach looking at the water.
A black and white silhouette of a person on a white background.

Community

In early recovery, we not only learn how to live our lives free of alcohol and drugs, but we learn how to become productive members of society. It is difficult for many of us to be successful in solitude. Being a part of a recovery community, something bigger than ourselves. It helps to give us a sense of purpose and inclusion. With the support of others, we are better able to cope with the challenges of recovery.

Culture

Alcoholism and drug addiction are often part of a larger culture. We often find it challenging to stay clean and sober while continuing to be a part of our ‘old lifestyle.’ At Wabash Recovery, we work hard to build a positive culture of recovery where individuals help to support each other. We also value teaching critical life skills while having fun without drugs or alcohol.

Communication

An effective program is often only as good as the communication between those involved. Our staff works hard to ensure open communication with those in our program. Many often find themselves dealing with a multitude of issues early in the recovery process. We create an environment where individuals can speak openly and honestly about their struggles.

Our Partners and Donors

We are immensely grateful for the unwavering support and dedication of our partners, who play an instrumental role in empowering individuals on their journey of recovery. Their collaborative spirit and generosity are a beacon of hope for the hurting, making a profound impact on the lives of those seeking a brighter future.
