Addiction has been long recognized as having a lengthy clinical course and many remain susceptible to relapse over time, as individuals change substance use and enter recovery. There is much that can be done, however, to accelerate the time to full remission and to enhance the chances of stable long-term recovery once initial remission has been achieved. One focus has been on increasing access to resources that can support and facilitate recovery stabilization ("recovery capital"), such as recovery specific social supports and recovery coaching, and linkages to housing, education and training, and employment. This talk provides the scientific rationale and empirical support for the clinical and public health utility of Recovery Support Centers. It will also describe the value of technology and measurement to evaluate these centers' impact, in order to document participants' benefits and communicate their value to funders and stakeholders, in order to facilitate long-term sustainability.
