All ears…
ACT ONEACT ONEWHY ARE WE HERE TODAY?WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY?
Why are we here Why are we here today?today?
For many, substance use disorders are chronic (on par with diabetes, asthma etc…)
Addiction can not be cured but it can be arrested or managed
For some, it may require ongoing care of various intensities over time (e.g., intensive services, stepped down or after care, recovery checkups, 12-step)
HOW ARE WE TREATING ADDICTION?
Acute model of care (assess, treat, discharge)
Focused on symptoms, not on promoting wellness
Short-term episodes of intensive care are ill-suited to manage a chronic condition:
High attrition rate - e.g., 60% attrition from outpatient nationwide
Few achieve abstinence during treatment
High relapse rates after treatment –50– 60% within 6 months following treatment
Costly cycling through multiple episodes of care – e.g. in one study in NYC, 80% outpatient client report 1 or + previous episode, 50% >3
People don’t get better, some die, families and communities suffer
A wind of change…A wind of change…
Recovery is more than abstinence from alcohol and drugs; it is about building a full and productive life in the community. Our treatment systems must reflect and help people achieve this broader understanding of recovery. (Dr. W. Clark, 2007)
Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC)Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC)
Elements of Recovery-Elements of Recovery-Oriented Systems of CareOriented Systems of Care
A ROSC is a coordinated network of community-based services and supports that is person-centered and builds on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families, and communities to achieve abstinence and improved health, wellness, and quality of life for those with or at risk of alcohol and drug problems.

THIS SOUNDS VERY GOOD
THIS MEANS BIG CHANGES (more PAPERWORK???)
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
NEED TO KNOW
1. What recovery means
2. What helps/hinders the process
3. How this can be translated into services and policy
At the patient level
At the program level
At the system level
How much do we know about How much do we know about recoveryrecovery??
Research has mirrored the service delivery paradigm
Focused on primary symptom as outcome
Focused on treatment populations
Short term studies mostly
As a result, we lack information on:
What ‘recovery’ means: abstinence + WHAT?
Long-term recovery paths, patterns and their predictors
Especially among persons who are not enrolled in treatment
How can we promote/support an outcome we have How can we promote/support an outcome we have
not examined and poorly understand?not examined and poorly understand?
We need a science of recoveryto inform Recovery Oriented

Support the development, monitoring and evaluation of ROSC at all 3 levels by answering:
1. Destination: Where are we going? Specifically what are we trying to promote (what is recovery? long-term recovery)?
2. Roadmap: How do we get there? What to put in our recovery-oriented services toolbox to best serve clients as their needs change?
3. Are we there yet? How can we measure recovery outcomes? (for service monitoring and quality improvement, accountability)

Translating Research into Recovery Oriented Systems
Recovery Oriented System of Care Recovery Oriented System of Care makes Sense…makes Sense…
Based on the experience of people in treatment and in recovery, the core elements of ROSC ‘make sense’
The transition to ROSC will
Take time
Take full commitment from the ‘system’ including payors
Take place gradually
Experience and success of ‘leader states/cities’ (e.g., CT, Philly, ) will be invaluable
In the meantime, strive to ADOPT AS MANY ELEMENTS OF ROSC AS BUDGET ALLOWS
Recovery Oriented System of Care Recovery Oriented System of Care makes Cents…makes Cents…

Mathematical simulation of the costs of methadone treatment over the lifetime for an opiate dependent individual under the chronic vs. acute model of care: ‘We find that the benefit-cost ratio of treatment from our lifetime model (37.72) exceeds the benefit-cost ratio from a static model (4.86)’ (Zarkin et al., 2005, p. 1133).
