Real People, Real Recovery: Effectively Delivering Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care
In 2006, an estimated 22.6 million persons aged 12 or older were classified with substance dependence or abuse in the past year. Of these, only 4.0 million received some kind of treatment for a problem related to the use of alcohol or illicit drugs. Luckily, a host of services exists for those who need them. From 12-step programs to in-patient and out-patient treatment, from recovery-oriented housing to sober recreational activities like those celebrated each September during Recovery Month, there’s an entire network of treatment and support services available for those dealing with substance abuse and mental health disorders. This program will examine some of those services, and explore ways to increase awareness and better deliver these services to those who need them.
