There will be free food and door prizes, music by DJ AM Flashback, resources from the community (including SCVS), stories from people in recovery, Narcan training and distribution, family friendly activities, and a vigil remembering those we've lost. Recovery and substance use prevention are issues we care deeply about at SCVS. Many people facing addiction are also survivors. Substance use coercion is frequently used by abusers to exert control over others. This can include: - Deliberately introducing a partner to substances - Forcing or coercing them to use - Interfering with their access to treatment - Sabotaging their recovery efforts - Leveraging the stigma associated with substance use to discredit them - Isolating them from potential sources of safety and support Substance use coercion creates obstacles for survivors, impacting their ability to access services, engage in treatment, maintain recovery, retain custody of their children, attain economic self-sufficiency. These barriers can be overwhelming, making it difficult for survivors to seek help or trust service providers. When an abuser interferes with treatment or recovery efforts, survivors may feel isolated and powerless, leading to increased risk of further harm. The stigma associated with substance use can also discourage survivors from reaching out for support, as they may fear being judged or dismissed by family, friends, or the legal system. At SCVS, we recognize how complex and far-reaching the effects of substance use coercion can be. That’s why we are committed to advocating for survivors and connecting them with trauma-informed services. Recovery can often feel lonely. So much of our society revolves around substance use, from office happy hours to holiday gatherings where alcohol is present. At SCVS, we are committed to making sure individuals in recovery feel welcomed and included in our community. The experience of isolation can be intensified by abusive partners who use it as a tactic of control, adding another layer to the challenge of recovery. Join us at the Recovery Celebration to help show everyone in recovery that they belong and are supported here. ### ✦ Resource Roundup ##### 🔗 [Overcoming Substance Use After Experiencing Sexual Violence | StartYourRecovery.org](https://startyourrecovery.org/experiences/sexual-assault) Learn how to get help from the traumatic effects of sexual violence, including substance use.
