Thomas Insel, MD, former director of the National Institute for Mental Health, discusses three core elements in recovery for mental health and substance use challenges: people, places, and purpose. Every aspect of who you are and your environment should be incorporated into your healing journey. In a similar vein, Louis utilizes a recovery-oriented framework grounded in the cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal process perspectives.
