Recovery glossary

Use this page when a treatment, sober-living, mental-health, family-support, or faith-related term needs a plain explanation before you keep reading.

How to use it

Start with the word that is slowing you down.

Definitions stay plain, practical, and connected to deeper articles when you need more context than a short answer can provide.

Good to know

  • The glossary explains terms. It does not replace assessment, therapy, medical care, or detox guidance.
  • Definitions here are educational and not individualized clinical advice.
  • Use the related article links when a short definition is not enough for the decision in front of you.

Spirituality and faith

Spiritual routine

A spiritual routine is a repeatable pattern of practices such as prayer, Scripture reading, gratitude, journaling, worship, church connection, or reflection that supports truthfulness and steadiness in daily life. In recovery, it should remain realistic and not become a performance measure.
