There are many pathways to recovery, and treatment plays a significant role. As understanding of Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care grows and evolves, treatment centres must do the same and follow the evidence that points to providing the best care for clients, families, and communities. This session features services providers with experience and expertise in implementing a model for ROSC. The panelists will explore the importance of treatment within ROSC, the accomplishments and lessons learned thus far, and future directions of addiction care that support individualized pathways to long-term recovery.
Learning Objective

- Explore the experiences of service providers and lessons learned from implementing a recovery community model of care
