Why do some people struggle with substance use and while others don't?

Substance Use Disorder (SUD) is a complex medical condition, and a person's risk is influenced by a combination of factors, many of which are out of their control:

🧬 Genetics: Genetics account for approximately 50% of a person's risk, along with co-occurring mental health conditions and individual brain chemistry.

🏡 Environment: Family dynamics, peer influence, trauma, and economic stress can all play a role in the development of a Substance Use Disorder.

🧠 Development: Early exposure to alcohol or drugs, especially during adolescence, increases risk because the brain is still developing in areas responsible for decision-making and impulse control.

Understanding these factors can help reduce stigma and remind us that SUD is a complex ✨ but treatable ✨ medical condition, NOT a moral failing or lack of willpower.

Millions of people struggle with substance use, and millions go on to build healthy, fulfilling lives in recovery: It’s all about getting the right support for where you are in your journey.

If you're struggling with substance use and aren't sure where to start, we're here to help.

Reach out for one-on-one support: https://hipaa.jotform.com/222064613852149

Or if you're not ready to speak with someone directly, take our free online quiz: https://quiz.tryinteract.com/ #/6148e4f1dc765b001828b589 to help identify your next steps and discover resources that match where you are in your recovery journey.

¿Por qué algunas personas luchan con el consumo de sustancias; mientras que otras no?

El Trastorno por Uso de Sustancias (SUD) es una condición médica compleja, y el riesgo de una persona está influenciado por una combinación de factores, muchos de los cuales están fuera de su control:

🧬 Genética: La genética representa aproximadamente el 50% del riesgo de una persona, junto con las condiciones de salud mental concurrentes y la química cerebral individual.

🏡 Medio ambiente: La dinámica familiar, la influencia de los compañeros, el trauma y el estrés económico pueden desempeñar un papel en el desarrollo de un Trastorno por Uso de Sustancias.

🧠 Desarrollo: La exposición temprana al alcohol o a las dr**as, especialmente durante la adolescencia, aumenta el riesgo porque el cerebro todavía se está desarrollando en áreas responsables de la toma de decisiones y el control de impulsos.

Comprender estos factores puede ayudar a reducir el estigma y recordarnos que el SUD es una condición médica compleja ✨ pero tratable ✨, NO un fracaso moral o falta de fuerza de voluntad.

Millones de personas luchan con el consumo de sustancias, y millones van a construir vidas saludables y satisfactorias en la recuperación: se trata de obtener el apoyo adecuado para donde se encuentra en su viaje.

Si está luchando con el consumo de sustancias y no está seguro de por dónde empezar, estamos aquí para ayudarle.

Meet Lilly, our oldest Shire at 11 years old!

As a young horse, Lilly suffered a fractured growth plate, an injury that affected her development and continues to require specialized care. Over the years, she's also developed osteoarthritis and Equine Metabolic Syndrome, making careful management of her health, nutrition, and comfort essential.

Caring for Lilly takes a team effort. Her care includes:
🙌 Ongoing veterinary care through Alpine Equine Hospital
🙌 Specialized treatments, including Induced Wrapping Regenerative and Anti-Inflammatory therapy during her rehabilitation
🙌 Osteoarthritis medications and joint injections
🙌 Equine chiropractic care approximately every six weeks
🙌 A carefully managed nutrition plan to support healthy body condition
🙌 Continuous monitoring to ensure her activities match her individual needs

We're incredibly grateful to Alpine Equine Hospital for their expert veterinary care and guidance throughout Lilly's recovery journey. Because of this collaborative approach, Lilly continues to thrive and remains an important member of our herd.

Our horses give so much to the individuals who participate in our Equine-Assisted Learning and Therapeutic Riding programs. Providing them with the specialized care they need and deserve is one of the most important investments we can make 💙

Supporting a loved one in recovery starts with understanding the difference between helping and enabling.

Recovery is a personal journey. And while you can't do the work for someone else or force them to change, you can provide encouragement, accountability, and a healthy, supportive environment that gives them the best opportunity possible to succeed.

Healthy Support Looks Like:
✅ Encouraging treatment and ongoing recovery support
✅ Setting clear, healthy boundaries (“You can’t live here if you’re drinking/using.”)
✅ Creating a recovery-supportive environment (such as not drinking or using around your loved one and keeping non-alcoholic beverages on hand)
✅ Celebrating progress without expecting perfection
✅ Taking care of your own mental and emotional health

Unhealthy Support (Enabling) Looks Like:
❌ Making excuses for another’s harmful behaviors
❌ Shielding someone from the consequences of their choices (such as providing money, housing, or other support that allows the behavior to continue)
❌ Taking personal responsibility for another’s recovery, actions, or emotions
❌ Ignoring your own needs to focus on theirs
❌ Believing you can save, change, or force someone who isn't ready for recovery

Apoyar a un ser querido en la recuperación comienza en comprender la diferencia entre ayudar y permitir.

La recuperación es un viaje personal. Y aunque no puede hacer el trabajo por otra persona u obligarla a cambiar, puede proporcionar aliento, responsabilidad y un entorno saludable y de apoyo que les brinde la mejor oportunidad posible para tener éxito.

El Apoyo Saludable Sería algo así:
✅ Fomentar el tratamiento y el apoyo continuo a la recuperación
✅ Establecer límites claros y saludables ("No puedes vivir aquí si estás bebiendo/consumiendo").
✅ Crear un entorno de apoyo a la recuperación (como no beber o consumir cerca de su ser querido y tener bebidas no alcohólicas a mano)
✅ Celebrar el progreso sin esperar la perfección
✅ Cuidar de su propia salud mental y emocional

El Apoyo Poco Saludable (Permitir) Se Ve Así:
❌ Poniendo excusas por los comportamientos dañinos de otra persona
❌ Proteger a alguien de las consecuencias de sus elecciones (como proporcionar dinero, vivienda u otro apoyo que permita que el comportamiento continúe)
❌ Asumir responsabilidad personal por la recuperación de otro, sus acciones o las emociones
❌ Ignorar sus propias necesidades para centrarse en las de ellos
❌ Creer que puede salvar, cambiar o forzar a alguien que no está listo para la recuperación

For many people, substance use begins as a way to cope with difficult emotions, painful experiences, and unresolved trauma. While substances may provide temporary relief, they don't address the underlying causes of emotional pain.

Healing from trauma often involves learning new ways to work through difficult emotions and experiences, manage stress, and reconnect with yourself and others.

Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) is one of many approaches that can support this healing process. By interacting with horses through guided activities, participants have opportunities to practice emotional regulation, communication, trust, and self-awareness in a safe, supportive environment. Because horses are highly attuned to human emotions and body language, they provide immediate, honest feedback without judgment.

Recovery is about more than stopping substance use. It's about healing, growing, and developing the skills needed to build a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life.

If you've tried talk therapy or other traditional approaches and still feel like something is missing, Equine-Assisted Learning may be a valuable complement to your recovery journey. We offer donor-supported sessions on a sliding scale to help make our programs accessible to anyone who may benefit, regardless of their ability to pay.

Para muchas personas, el consumo de sustancias comienza como una forma de lidiar con emociones difíciles, experiencias dolorosas y traumas no resueltos. Si bien las sustancias pueden proporcionar un alivio temporal, no abordan las causas profundas del dolor emocional.

La sanidad del trauma a menudo implica aprender nuevas formas de trabajar a través de emociones y experiencias difíciles, manejar el estrés y reconectarse con uno mismo y con los demás.

El Aprendizaje Asistido por Caballos (EAL) es uno de los muchos enfoques que pueden apoyar este proceso de sanidad. Al interactuar con los caballos a través de actividades guiadas, los participantes tienen oportunidades de practicar la regulación emocional, la comunicación, la confianza y la autoconciencia en un entorno seguro y de apoyo. Debido a que los caballos están muy en sintonía con las emociones humanas y el lenguaje corporal, proporcionan una retroalimentación inmediata y honesta sin juzgar.

La recuperación es más que dejar de usar sustancias. Se trata de sanar, crecer y desarrollar las habilidades necesarias para construir una vida más saludable, feliz y satisfactoria.

Si ha intentado la terapia psicológica u otros enfoques tradicionales y todavía siente que falta algo, el Aprendizaje Asistido por Caballos puede ser un complemento valioso para su viaje de recuperación. Ofrecemos sesiones apoyadas por donantes en una escala móvil para ayudar a que nuestros programas sean accesibles para cualquier persona que pueda beneficiarse, independientemente de su habilidad de pago.

What started with one woman’s vision has grown into a comprehensive network of programs and services that helps people overcome addiction, homelessness, and other serious life challenges.

Before founding Recovery Resources, our Executive Director, Janelle Duhon, worked in a local detox center, where she met a client who forever changed her perspective. Despite experiencing homelessness and living with the long-term effects of addiction, he never lost his kindness. He would send pizzas to the detox center staff or call just to ask, "Has anyone wished you well today?"

His compassion inspired a simple but powerful realization: recovery is about much more than detox. People need connection, support, life skills, and access to resources that help them find stability and build a full and meaningful life.

In 2016, Recovery Resources opened with just two services: Withdrawal Management and Drug Testing.

Over the past decade, we've listened to our community and evolved to meet emerging needs.

Today, we're proud to offer:
🙌 Withdrawal Management
🙌 DUI Education and Therapy
🙌 Pretrial Services
🙌 Drug Testing
🙌 UPS Community Service Coordination
🙌 Unsheltered Outreach and Daily Basic Needs Services at our Community Connection Point
🙌 A full suite of Equine Programs, including Equine-Assisted Learning & Therapeutic Riding

To everyone who has been part of our mission over the last 10 years—our staff, partners, donors, and especially our clients—thank you for being part of this journey.

Here's to the next decade of empowering people to create a new story of recovery and resilience 💙

Lo que comenzó con la visión de una mujer se ha convertido en una red completa de programas y servicios que ayudan a las personas a superar la adicción, la falta de vivienda y otros desafíos graves de la vida.

Antes de fundar Recovery Resources, nuestra Directora Ejecutiva, Janelle Duhon, trabajó en un centro de desintoxicación local, donde conoció a un cliente que cambió su perspectiva para siempre. A pesar de experimentar la falta de vivienda y vivir con los efectos de la adicción a largo plazo, nunca perdió su amabilidad. Enviaba pizzas al personal del centro de desintoxicación o llamaba solo para preguntar: "¿Alguien te ha deseado lo mejor hoy?"

Su compasión inspiró una realización simple pero poderosa: la recuperación es mucho más que desintoxicación. Las personas necesitan conexión, apoyo, habilidades para la vida y acceso a recursos que les ayuden a encontrar estabilidad y construir una vida plena y significativa.

En 2016, Recovery Resources abrió con solo dos servicios: Tratamiento de Abstinencia y Pruebas de Dr**as.

Durante la última década, hemos escuchado a nuestra comunidad y evolucionado para satisfacer las necesidades emergentes.

Hoy, estamos orgullosos de ofrecer:
🙌 Tratamiento de Abstinencia
🙌 Educación de DUI y Terapia
🙌 Servicios Previos a un Juicio
🙌 Pruebas de Dr**as
🙌 Coordinación del Servicio Comunitario UPS
🙌 Servicios de alcance para personas sin refugio y Atención a las Necesidades Básicas Diarias en nuestro Punto de Conexión Comunitario
🙌 Una amplia gama de Programas Encuestres, que incluyen Aprendizaje Asistido por Equinos y Equitación Terapéutica

A todos los que han sido parte de nuestra misión durante los últimos 10 años, nuestro personal, socios, donantes y especialmente nuestros clientes, gracias por ser parte de este viaje.

Por la próxima década empoderando a las personas para crear una nueva historia de recuperación y resiliencia 💙
