What Follows If Recovery Is Framed as an Orientation Rather Than a Destination?

Recovery can be conceptualized either as an arrival at a specific endpoint (destination framing) or as an ongoing process of directional engagement (orientation framing). Destination framing emphasizes reaching a final goal, whereas orientation framing focuses on the journey itself, viewing setbacks as part of the path rather than failures. This distinction highlights different meanings for failure, relapse, and continuation but does not provide evidence that one framing leads to better outcomes.
