Leveraging Community Partnerships to Address Social Needs and Improve Care Engagement

Saturday, April 6, 2024
1:15 PM – 2:30 PM  
Recovery community organizations (RCOs) represent an important resource for individuals experiencing substance use disorder but there is a paucity of evidence and characterization of the different types of RCOs that exist. In this session, we present the critical elements of an effective unique sustainable RCO model that leverages community resources that can be replicated in other communities across the country in need.

Learning Objectives:

Learners will be able to:
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to describe the recovery community organization model and its current level of evidence.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to explain the critical elements of a unique recovery community organization model and how those elements contribute to positive recovery outcomes.
  • Upon completion, participant will be able to specify key steps and considerations for development of a successful recovery community organization model.
