LAS VEGAS, NV — We are pleased to announce that Stuart Smith, Chairman of the Board of Foundation for Recovery, was recently elected to the Faces & Voices of Recovery Board of Directors.

Faces & Voices of Recovery is the national organization of individuals and organizations joining together with a united voice to advocate for public action to deliver the power, possibility, and proof of recovery from addiction. Faces & Voices of Recovery is working to mobilize, organize, and rally the millions of people in recovery from addiction to alcohol and other drugs, their families, friends, and allies in a campaign to end discrimination; broaden social understanding; and achieve a just response to addiction as a public health crisis. For more information, please visit www.facesandvoicesofrecovery.org.

Foundation for Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity based in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Foundation’s mission is to make recovery from addiction more available to the addict who still suffers. The Foundation strives to remove barriers by propagating the availability of recovery for addicts and their family and friends. The Foundation continues to challenge the social stereotypes of who is affected by the disease of addiction and the prognosis of recovery. All of the efforts are inspired by the principles exhibited in the lives of addicts who have found and continue to live in recovery. For more information, please visit www.forrecovery.org.

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.
