“To have a comeback, you have to have a setback.” — Mr. T

We’ve had a peer coming in for one‑on‑one check‑ins with Falyn Brandon, our Peer Support Specialist, for several months now.

A check‑in is simple: you choose a time during the week to come in and talk about how you’re doing. Your progress, your goals, your challenges — anything you need support with.

Recently, this peer experienced a setback. And we want to be clear: setbacks — or “relapse” — are more common than people think. Early in recovery, the brain is still healing, and slips can happen.

At New Roots Glynn, we know that relapse does not erase progress. Shame doesn’t save lives. Support does. So we lean in, not turn away.

If you’d like to schedule a one‑on‑one, reach out anytime:

Setbacks are sometimes part of the journey.
It doesn’t define the traveler.
Recovery is built in the getting up.
One step, one choice, one day at a time.

Black History Month | Recovery Is Taking Your Life Back

Malcolm X’s story reminds us that people are more than their worst moments.
While incarcerated, he stopped using drugs, started learning, and rebuilt who he was from the inside out. No shortcuts. No saviors. Just truth, discipline, and the decision to change.

Recovery isn’t about being “fixed.”
It’s about taking your life back.

Recently, we had the honor of sitting down with Coastal Community Behavioral Health’s Intake Coordinator and Peer Support Specialist, Rachel Hendricks, to talk about the services available for community members using medication‑assisted treatment to sustain long‑term recovery.

Historically, this method has been heavily stigmatized as “replacing one drug with another,” but we could not disagree more. MAT is one of the most evidence‑based approaches for supporting long‑term recovery.

When combined with counseling, behavioral therapies, and/or peer support, MAT helps stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and lower the risk of overdose.

MAT is not replacing one addiction with another — it is treating a chronic medical condition with proven, life‑saving care.

And as part of strengthening that support, our Peer Support Specialist Falyn Brandon — who has also used MAT in her own recovery journey — will begin meeting with peers directly at CCBH’s office to offer connection, encouragement, and person‑centered support.

We are grateful to have this partnership with Rachel and CCBH, and the ability to educate our community about recovery.

At New Roots Glynn, we recognize that every individual's path to recovery is distinct. Not all pathways to recovery are the same. That's why we're here.

Our approach acknowledges the uniqueness of each person's journey, accepting their strengths, cultural background, needs, and personal experiences.

Recovery is a holistic, non-linear process grounded in hope, and we support a range of approaches, including clinical care, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), therapy, 12-step programs, SMART Recovery, peer support, faith-based practices, wellness initiatives, and natural recovery. New Roots Glynn provides peer support, among other services, which is a proven tool often used alongside other methods.

We understand that individuals may choose a single path or combine multiple approaches, and we affirm that all are valid. Ultimately, recovery is a journey, not a destination.

We are committed to walking alongside you, providing free, confidential, and inclusive support every step of the way.
