Light at the End of the Tunnel

Broken promises litter the ground that Lindsay Lohan walks on— like splintered glass that shatters with every relapse.  As Lindsay checks into rehab—again—the recovering community holds their breath cautiously.

The child star turned bad girl leads the pack of Hollywood socialites that have helped reinforce the negative connotation of the recovering community.  None of Lindsay’s celebrity cohorts, however, have the potential to reduce stigma that she does.

America has watched Lindsay Lohan grow into a star and spiral violently down.  Lindsay’s road to recovery has been long and hard but holds the promise that the light is bright at the end of the tunnel.

Person-Directed Recovery

Person-centered recovery is directed, as much as possible by the person – including decisions about who should be included in the process.  The planning identifies just a few small, but meaningful, short-term changes that the individual can focus on helping to reduce some of the barriers or challenges moving forward.  Person centered care should be central to all recovery frameworks.
