However, our addiction treatment system is built on an acute care model – short treatment at time of crisis – expected to cure the problem. A chronic care model is more continuous and places emphasis on the lifelong work of maintaining health and recovery. A recovery model focuses on long-term personal effort and on system support for achieving and maintaining health.
Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care: A Paradigm Shift Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care shift the question from “How do we get the client into treatment?” to “How do we support the process of recovery within the person’s environment?”

Benefits of Moving into a Recovery Zone • Chronic care approaches, including self-management, family supports, and integrated services, improve recovery outcomes 2 • Integrated and collaborative care has been shown to optimize recovery outcomes and improve cost-effectiveness 3 ¹Dennis, Scott & Funk, 2003 2 Lorig et al, 2001; Jason, Davis, Ferrari, & Bishop; 2001; Weisner et al, 2001; Friedmann et al, 2001 3Smith, Meyers, & Miller, 2001; Humphreys & Moos, 2001)
Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care Approach • In the recovery-oriented systems of care approach, the treatment agency is viewed as one of many resources needed for a client’s successful integration into the community. • No one source of support is more dominant than another. • Various supports need to work in harmony with the client’s direction, so that all possible supports are working for and with the person in recovery.
