Those suffering from substance use disorders can face many obstacles in achieving and maintaining recovery. As advocates for those in recovery, we know that such obstacles can delay or prevent a person from meeting their recovery goals. In response to this problem, recent research has explored those factors that support recovery. Using the concept of “Recovery Capital,” Dr. Gilbert will present findings of his research on the relevance of social support, twelve step meeting participation, and spirituality as factors that foster recovery. He will also discuss how his findings can be applied to assist programs that serve people with substance use disorders.
Upon completion of this course participants will be able to:
- define the concept of “Recovery Capital”
- demonstrate an understanding of those factors that contribute to maintaining recovery
- formulate a plan to apply the findings presented to assist their clients
