Cultivating Recovery-oriented Communities of Care

As the science of recovery continues to evolve, it confirms the understanding of those with lived experience that recovery from addiction happens in community. This session focuses on “thinking beyond” –connecting individul recovery (personal transformation) to recovery-oriented systems of care (institutional transformation) to recovery-rich communities (community transformation). It will examine system and community level characteristics that define an environment that is maximally supportive of recovery, and the roles we can all play in making them a reality.
