CARR BROWN BAG SESSION 3: Recovery Capital
PhD Candidate in Addictive Disorders and Recovery Studies
There has been extensive research on the etiology, consequences, and treatment of substance use disorder. Less importance has been placed on the research of sustainable recovery from substance use disorder. The framework of Recovery Capital allows for a better understanding of the resources that need to be in place for long term recovery. Recovery Capital was developed to help explain the complex process of individual recovery from addiction. The development of multiple domains that address relationships, physical wellbeing, community resources and financial security provide a more complete overview of the resources needed to aid in sustaining recovery. This presentation will describe the evolution of Recovery Capital domains and how they can be used to provide insight into recovery. We will also discuss the measurement devices that have been developed to capture Recovery Capital, the opportunities for use of Recovery Capital in prevention of substance misuse, and the research opportunities surrounding Recovery Capital.
