Recovery is a journey, not a destination. And like any meaningful journey, we need ways to understand where we’re thriving, where we’re stretching, and where we need additional support. When individuals, organizations, and policymakers take time to truly measure strengths and gaps, they build recovery systems that are more responsive, more sustainable, and more human-centered.

Recovery isn’t just an individual journey; it’s something communities build together. The places where we live, work, and gather shape our well-being in very real ways. Strong public policies and community-led efforts can create environments that make long-term recovery and make it sustainable.
