Recovery is not simply about personal health, but the health and well being of the entire community… “This isn’t about me. I’m doing this for my children and my community. I have to build up my community because I need to know that if something happens to me, there will be resources and people in the community who can step in and take care of my girls.” AMIR participant

What has helped you come back from something difficult?
What is Recovery?
Three questions
¨ What helps? What worked? ¨ What could be better? ¨ How do you keep going? (Hope)
Recovery
¨ Is what a person does ¨ It is living a meaningful life ¨ It is what we all want
What is Recovery?
Definitions: ¨ A process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
v The American Society of Addiction Medicine no
longer defines addiction as a behavioral problem, but instead as a problem with brain circuitry.
The Good News!
Recovery is Real!

What is a ROSC?
ROSC- Supports What Helped?
¨ Family ¨ Support ¨ Friends ¨ Forgiveness ¨ *Faith ¨ Compassion ¨ Resiliency ¨ *Helping others
¨ Meaningful work/career
¨ Time ¨ Education ¨ Hope ¨ New beginnings ¨ Taking action
Giving Back
Many AMIR and Amistad individuals echoed this statement
“giving something back was the main thing that helped me to get better.”
“They didn’t treat us like we had anything good to offer anyone else. They didn’t understand that I need to give back.”
They developed peer mentor and alumni initiatives which provided participants with formalized mechanisms for giving to others and developing leadership skills. Peer mentors were compensated for providing support to others who were at an earlier point in their recovery journey. The alumni organization also consisted of graduates of the program who coordinated some of the community based activities.
Guiding Principles of Recovery
¨ Hope ¨ Person-driven
¨ Many pathways
¨ Holistic
¨ Peer support and allies
¨ Relationships and social networks
¨ Culturally-based and influenced
¨ Trauma informed
¨ Strengths based and responsibility
¨ Respect
A female participant said that a holistic approach was missing from previously unsuccessful treatment experiences. “I’ve been struggling with trying to maintain recovery for fifteen years….I’ve been in other programs, got some good treatment….but for me, for me this was the missing ingredient right here. This is what I needed to stay clean. Because it helped me to identify and realize what I need to do with my life after I’m clean. It’s given me a sense of purpose, you know. I spent all those years drinking and drugging and it was like, now that I’m clean what am I going to do with my life.
Recovery Oriented Systems of Care
ROSC is: ¨ Value-driven APRROACH to
structuring behavioral health systems and a network of services and supports
¨ Framework to guide services and supports
• ROSC is not: • A Model • Primarily focused on the
integration of recovery support services
• Dependent on new dollars for development
• A new initiative • A group of providers that
increase their collaboration to improve coordination
• An infusion of evidence-based practices
• An organizational entity • A closed network of
services and supports
ROSC- Elements
n Person-centered; n Inclusive of family and other ally involvement; n Individualized and comprehensive services across the
lifespan; n Systems anchored in the community; n Continuity of care; n Partnership-consultant relationships; n Strength-based; n Culturally responsive;
n Responsiveness to personal belief systems;
A Focus on Life
…everywhere else, all they talked about was
drugs, drugs, drugs, don’t do drugs, stay away from drugs, drugs are bad for you, drugs will fry your brain. Here they talk about other things that are important to me. We can go through a whole group and never even mention our addiction. We’re talking about like our families, our dreams, spirituality, getting skills. I have other parts to me other than drugs that are important and need help.”
Recovery
“Not everybody thought it was a good idea for me to try to get my daughter back. But they realized that without her, I didn’t have a reason to be well. So, we figured out a plan for what to do if I couldn’t handle the stress, and my whole team has stood beside me every step of the way. Was it ‘too stressful’ at times? You bet! But every day is a blessing now that I wake up and see that smiling face!”
ROSC- Elements
¨ Commitment to peer recovery support services; ¨ Inclusion of the voices and experiences of recovering
individuals and their families;
¨ Integrated services;
¨ System-wide education and training;
¨ Ongoing monitoring and outreach; ¨ Outcomes driven;
¨ Research based; and
¨ Adequately and flexibly financed.
We Are A Family
……IT’S JUST LIKE A FAMILY…THEY ACCEPT YOU AS BROTHER AND SISTER. AT NO TIME DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU’RE THE CLIENT AND YOU’RE TALKING TO THE CLINICIAN AND NOT THE PERSON. IT’S NOT THAT. IT’S LIKE WHEN I TALK TO ANTHONY, I SEE HIM AS A BROTHER, I DON’T SEE HIM AS MY CASE MANAGER. BUT IT’S LIKE WHEN I LOOK AT HEATHER I DON’T SEE HER AS MY CLINICIAN, I SEE HER AS MY SISTER AND WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM, I GO AND TALK TO HER, AND SHE’S NOT GOING TO LET THE POSITION STAND IN THE WAY….I DON’T HAVE TO FEEL SLIGHTED OR SHORTED THAT SHE’S WAY UP HER AND I’M WAY DOWN THERE. I DON’T FEEL LIKE THAT. SO HERE IT’S REAL FAMILY ORIENTED. AND THAT’S REAL IMPORTANT TO ME
ROSC transformation is more than:
a. New Skills b. New Paperwork c. Implementing Evidence Based Practices
(EBPs) d. Adding Peer Support Services

-start with strengths, interests ¨ Share Success Stories ¨ Lift up Lived Experience
No Money Examples
¨ AMIR ¨ Landlords ¨ Book store donation ¨ OMNI hotel ¨ Social Networking- FB, twitter, SBIRT,
messaging training, SOAR, daily reflection apps
No Money!!!
¨ Circle of influence ¨ Build Relationships! Example: Our Legislator Friend

v Relationships! ¨ Share accurate information ¨ Identify Allies!
¨ Community
If…
¨ Someone says- “they have to want it…” ¨ “there is only one way” ¨ We need money
¤ Share the brain science ¤ Note the 22 million in recovery ¤ National Survey on Recovery ¤ Relationships- example of car donation

Providers
¨ Expand composition of your service team ¨ Ask a different question ¨ Advocate ¨ Optimize your service delivery approach, for
example… train all staff to be welcoming.
PIR or Family Member
¨ Recovery Messaging with Legislators • Tell your story!
¨ Raise expectations- for Recovery Oriented Care ¨ Learn about your options- your rights! • Develop advocacy skills ¨ Don’t assume your way is the Right way! • There are many pathways to Recovery • Do assume that people are doing the best with
what they know.

Lived Experience
She told me “you remind me a lot about myself.” And she told me personal things about herself and things that she had worked on and just the fact that she was sitting there and she was able to laugh about it and joke about it, I could see that there was like a light at the end of the tunnel. Her story relaxed me. It opened me up to having a lot more conversation with her and really putting myself out there.

Lessons Learned Assertive Outreach and Engagement Holistic Screening and Engagement Recovery Planning Expand Service Team Culturally Responsive
Specific Strategies
Lessons Learned Where to Start?
1. Clarify priorities and align your resources 2. Mobilize people with lived experience 3. Start with those who are willing and engaged 4. Establish a clear vision! 5. Focus on how to promote culture change across ALL
organizations and community partners!
6. Be aware of the tendency to develop two parallel structures and processes between treatment on the one hand and RCOs or Community Support Organizations on the other
7. And focusing on administrative logistics e.g. developing formal MOUs, determining who is in “the ROSC” and who is not etc.
ASSERTIVE OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
¨ Pre-treatment Peer Support Groups
¨ Offer peer mentors as soon as contact is initiated
¨ Develop a welcome/recovery support center
¨ Build strong linkages between levels of care through peer-based recovery support services
¨ Use the most charismatic and engaging staff in reception areas
¨ Connect with people before initial appointments via phone
¨ Screening and early intervention in primary care, child care and school settings
¨ Establish relationships with natural supports to promote early identification
¨ Utilize social media
HOLISTIC SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT
What’s Right With You? ¨ Screening in primary care settings
¨ Global vs. categorical assessment
¨ Continual assessments
¨ Assessing recovery capital
TREATMENT PLANS VS. RECOVERY PLANS OR PERSON-CENTERED PLANS
What’s the Difference? ¨ Expert driven versus collaborative team, driven by
PIR ¨ Timeframe: treatment episode versus sustained
recovery ¨ Focus on all life domains ¨ Holistic ¨ Process
¨ Integration of peer specialists and recovery coaches ¨ Integration with primary care » Heavy drinking, for example, contributes to illness in each of
the top three causes of death: heart disease, cancer and stroke.
» Substance use increases the risk for hypertension (x2), congestive heart failure (x9), and pneumonia (x12);
» One out of every 14 hospital stays – 2.3 million stays – was related to substance disorders in 2004.
» Integrated care provides better quality of care and is more cost-effective
¨ SERVICE TEAM
EXPANDED COMPOSITION OF THE
CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE SERVICES
¨ Worldview ¨ Culturally competent assessment ¨ Diverse staff at all levels of the organization ¨ Linguistic competence ¨ Focus on empowerment with historically disenfranchised
communities ¨ Recognized the role of natural supports and family ¨ Culture specific services ¨ Disaggregate utilization and outcome data
