Published by / Citation
Day, E., Manitsa, I., Farley, A. et al. A UK national study of prevalence and correlates of adopting or not adopting a recovery identity among individuals who have overcome a drug or alcohol problem. Subst Abuse Treat Prev Policy 18, 68 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13011-023-00579-2

In the last 20 years, the term "recovery" has become crucial in dealing with addiction. However, different groups, such as researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and people with lived experience of alcohol or drug (AOD) problems, have varying definitions for this term.

Background:

Recovery, a primary goal of addiction treatment, goes beyond abstinence. It encompasses various aspects that differ among individuals, making it challenging to measure. Traditional assessments in addiction care have focused on processes, which provide limited insights into treatment quality and long-term outcomes. In contrast, patient-reported outcomes offer a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding. To address these gaps, this study introduced and tested a patient-reported outcome measure for addiction recovery, called Response to Addiction Recovery (R2AR).
