The Evidence

Why recovery capital?

Recovery capital represents the sum of resources, internal and external, that a person can draw upon to initiate and sustain recovery. Rather than focusing solely on deficits and problems, recovery capital identifies strengths and builds on them.

Research indicates that recovery capital is a strong, independent predictor of sustained recovery and quality of life, above and beyond many traditional factors.

"Recovery capital provides the most comprehensive framework we have for understanding what supports long-term recovery from addiction."

David Best, Ph.D., Research Director, Recovery Outcomes Institute

Social Capital

Relationships, social networks, community belonging, and the support systems that sustain recovery.

Personal Capital

Physical and mental health, self-efficacy, coping skills, and the inner resources that drive resilience.

Community Capital

Citizenship, access to community resources, meaningful activities, healthcare, and a sense of belonging.

Meaningful Activities

Employment, education, volunteering, hobbies, and the purposeful engagement that builds identity.
