  • Summary

    The chapter presents a range of research evidence that supports a social model of recovery from substance use disorders and combines them into a conceptual framework for building recovery capital across the course of the recovery journey. The model is predicated on the mental health recovery concept of CHIME (Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning and Empowerment) combined with positive social connections (often involving peer-based support), resulting in a belief in change that enables an individual to engage in meaningful activities. These developments in turn can generate a virtuous cycle of empowerment, positive self-efficacy, and self-esteem that promote a positive social identity that is sustained through engagement in prosocial recovery and community groups and activities. At a collective level, this has benefits for communities and cities in generating new connections and greater access to resources that result in improved community capital and Recovery Cities.
