“Understanding how psychological, biological, and environmental factors influence addiction allows us to treat it effectively.”

"Addiction recovery has been defined in a variety of ways. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has defined addiction recovery as "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential". Similarly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has defined addiction recovery as "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness and live a self-directed life". At its core, addiction recovery is a change process involving the individual engaging in activities that move them away from the maladaptive behaviours associated with their addiction and toward healthier, more adaptive behaviours. This process of change involves both physical and psychological changes. It requires the individual to develop new coping skills and strategies to manage their addiction and sustain recovery." - Jason Bowman - ASV Rehabilitation Centers Melbourne and Victoria, 2025.
