Philosophy of Service
HLC’s philosophy of service delivery is based on SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, branch of the US Dept of Dept of Health and Human Services) definition of Recovery:
Recovery is “a process of change through which individuals improve their Health and Wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.”— How SAMHSA defines Recovery
Eight Dimensions of Wellness
HLC believes that a person in recovery needs to address the domains of the wheel that have caused past problems in their addiction and/or recovery. HLC provides referral or on-site resources to all local services that can address these challenges.
