Description:

This webinar provides an exploration of recovery capital and its critical role in shaping outcomes for individuals with substance use disorders, particularly opioid use disorder (OUD). Grounded in contemporary and historic definitions of recovery, participants will examine recovery as a dynamic, multidimensional process that extends beyond symptom reduction to include improvements in health, purpose, community connection, and overall quality of life. The session introduces the Recovery Capital framework, defined as the internal and external resources individuals can access to initiate and sustain recovery, and explores its four primary domains: personal (human and physical), family/social, community, and cultural capital. Participants will analyze how these domains function as both risk and resilience factors, influencing recovery trajectories and long-term outcomes.

Learning Objectives: 

1. List examples of Recovery Capital in each of the four (4) types: Personal, Family/Social, Community, and Cultural

2. Describe Recovery Capital Domains as recovery risk or resiliency factors

3. Recognize and describe the importance of utilizing Recovery Capital Assessment (organizations or individuals)

4. Discuss various recovery assessment instruments

5. Recognize best practice strategies for recovery capital informed services
