Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care

• Coordinated and collaborative multi-agency/community based system with goals:– Prevent the development of substance use disorders– Intervene earlier in the progression of the disease– Reduce the harm caused by addiction– Help individuals transition from brief experiments in
recovery initiation to sustained recovery maintenance– Promote good quality of life, community health and wellness
for all

“How do we get the client into treatment”

wellness– Acknowledges importance of individual, family
and community assets – recovery capital– Spans pre, and post acute care outreach and
supports

Recovery Support Needs & Peers
• Recovery support needs span the periods of pre-recovery engagement, recovery initiation, recovery stabilization, and recovery maintenance
• Peer-based recovery support interventions can enhance treatment outcomes…– Draws on the power of example and lived experience.– Largely voluntary: draws on the desire to “give back”– Based on the notion that both people in a relationship
based on mutuality are helped and empowered
• They are not:
– Clinical addiction treatment services
– Mutual aid support
