Synopsis

While the traditional aim of treatment for drug and alcohol addiction has been abstinence and ultimately recovery, a social movement has emerged for clients, clinicians, commissioners and policymakers which is focused on a recovery that develops a person's sense of purpose, meaning, belonging and quality of life. Addiction Recovery provides a background to the recovery advocacy movement in the UK by outlining its origins, detailing recovery principles and rates, showing the relationship between treatment and recovery, and exploring the role that social networks play in the process of recovery.

Addiction Recovery helps develop an understanding about the philosophy of recovery and how workers and managers can apply it in practice. It provides an evidence-based guide to the achievements of recovery communities in selected UK cities, details effective recovery-oriented systems of care and reviews models for success. Academically sound yet accessibly written, it is an essential primer for anyone wanting to understand how the recovery advocacy movement is impacting addiction-related policy, research, treatment and grassroots recovery support in the UK.
