Angela J. Nash, Emily A.Hennessy, Crystal Collier. Exploring recovery capital among adolescents in an alternative peer group.药物和酒精依赖. 199 (2019) 136-143.doi.org/10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2019.02.025
The study examined the Recovery Capital for Adolescents Model (RCAM), which is a proposed framework for identifying assets to enhance and barriers to address in supporting adolescents’ recovery from substance use disorders.
The authors’ findings confirmed that the RCAM is a useful model for identifying the multiple, interrelated factors inherent to adolescents’ recovery experience and potential pathways for resource-building. Specific strategies to enhance RC (i.e., recovery capital – the personal, social and environmental resources required to sustain recovery) and address recovery barriers are presented and illustrated with qualitative exemplars.
