Whole Person Recovery: A user-centred systems approach to problem drug use
Year of publication: 2010Author: Daddow, Rebecca; Broome, SteveNovember
Publisher: RSA
Summary: Based on the Whole Person Recovery Project (West Sussex) which aims to understand in a holistic way how drug and alcohol users become trapped in cycles of addiction, their journey to recovery, and how recovery can be sustained.
Peer support including peer mentoring and befriending are shown to be significant at all levels of recovery. Makes a case for recovery-oriented initiatives and services that are more personalised, better balanced and better able to draw on a whole-community response to the problems that lead to, or are prompted by, problematic drug and alcohol use.
