The evidence

Why recovery capital?

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

Research indicates that recovery capital is a strong, independent predictor of sustained recovery and quality of life.

What is recovery capital?
“Recovery capital provides the most comprehensive framework we have for understanding what supports long-term recovery from addiction.”

2. Plan

Use the results to build a recovery care plan the person owns.

3. Engage

Connect them with resources and support to achieve that plan.

Then measure again

Remeasuring shows what has changed, and the cycle continues.
