Riassunto:

This theoretical but highly accessible book helps develop understanding about the philosophy of recovery, what the supporting evidence is and how workers and managers can apply this in a more recovery friendly way as well as what they can do to assess and evidence these changes. It will examine evidence from a number of international recovery studies and examples of successes in the UK where established recovery communities and groups, some peer projects and some services that have changed their philosophy to a recovery-oriented one. Topics include: mutual aid and the history of the addiction recovery movement recovery and treatment recovery and public policy analysis of 'mature' recovery systems in England what works in recovery in the UK what now?
