Measuring and Operationalising Recovery Capital

Recovery capital helps us better understand the process of recovering from a substance use disorder and determine the success of recovery and treatment interventions, improve coping strategies, and enhance an individuals’ quality of life in recovery. Understanding how to measure and operationalize recovery capital can help criminal justice and healthcare professionals better serve justice-involved individuals with SUD.

In this webinar, psychologist and criminologist David Best, PhD, discussed recovery capital, how and why it is measured, what to do with the results, and the present status of development work.
