Shifting our Paradigm to Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care 21
The Recovery Process Recovery from alcohol and drug problems is a process of change through which an individual achieves abstinence and improved health, wellness, and quality of life. Source: CSAT National Summit on Recovery, 2005
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 • Most clients undergo 3 to 4 episodes of care before reaching a stable state of abstinence ¹ • 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.

SBIRT Takes Advantage of the “Teachable Moment” “Teachable Moment” is the moment of educational opportunity – a time at which a person is likely to be particularly disposed to learn something or particularly responsive to being taught or made aware of something.
