Recovering from Substance Abuse

Dr. Moraima Trujillo, Chief Medical Officer with Banyan Health, says recovery is an individual process and some patients will recover quicker than others. She explains some patients require residential rehabilitation services or intensive outpatient services. Ana Lara, Outpatient Psychiatry Supervisor with Banyan Health, points out the patients who recover the fastest or most successfully are the ones that have a support system, such as family, friends, church, and groups like AA.
