STARTING YOUR
RECOVERY JOURNEY
Tanara, Patrick, and Justin began their treatment journeys with small individual steps toward their treatment goals. By committing to each achievable step on your path, you can make progress on your own treatment journey.
Medication is an important part of the process, but recovery also includes:
- Counseling
- Rehabilitation therapy
- Living and eating healthy
Tips to stay on track:
- Be your own advocate
- Have a support system in place to help you stay on track and keep you motivated
- Communicate openly and honestly with your Treatment Team about your treatment goals, relapse triggers, and warning signs of a relapse
- Set a path, and keep moving forward toward your treatment goals
- Keep your appointments and get your medication on time
By following your schizophrenia treatment plan and taking your medication as prescribed, you can have the best chance to control your symptoms, and begin working toward your treatment goals.
