2 Recovery Orientated System of Care ROSC is a co-ordinated network of community based services and supports that is person centred and builds on strengths and resilience of individuals, families and communities..it recognises there are many pathways to recovery, including treatment, mutual aid groups, faith-based recovery, cultural recovery, natural recovery, medication-assisted recovery, amongst others..it offers choice by providing a flexible menu of services and supports designed to meet each individual s specific needs.it builds on assets rather than emphasising deficits and pathologies. (Bill White)

3 Scottish Government s Quality Principles Recovery is a process through which a person addresses their problem drug and/or alcohol use to become an active and contributing member of society. This concept of recovery and a belief that people can and do recover from drug and alcohol problems/dependency are at the heart of the Scottish Govt strategies on drugs and alcohol.

4 Quality Principles continued There is no single path to recovery. It can begin anywhere; in a GP surgery, a hospital, care and treatment service, church, prison, through peer support or in someone s own home. Recovery happens every day across Scotland and there are effective solutions for people still struggling. Whatever the pathway to recovery, the journey will be far easier to travel when people are treated with dignity and respect. In practice, people can best be empowered to recovery through the establishment of a recovery orientated system of care (ROSC). The underlying philosophy of a ROSC is that treatment, review and aftercare are integrated and priority if given to empowering people to sustain their recovery.

6 The Model Care & Treatment: statutory service provision, Tier 3 and above, delivering a range of evidence based interventions with individuals drug and/or alcohol dependent with a range of other challenges, for example: mental health issues, physical health issues, homelessness, child or adult protection concerns Recovery Hubs: third sector commissioned services to work across the alcohol and drugs service tiers to promote recovery, provide exit strategies from care and treatment, increase community capacity, provide opportunities for sustained recovery Recovery Communities: organic, community based developments, delivering recovery volunteer led drop in opportunities in partnership with services and others, groupwork programmes, large scale events, training and development, promoting employability, building community assets and making connections with hard to reach individuals and communities across North West Glasgow

7 Benefits of Asset Building Promotes independence and a belief that the situation can improve Involves individuals and families in the discussions at the very outset that looks at their skills, knowledge, qualities and abilities to affect change in their own circumstances Helps increase confidence and self belief Reduces demand on high cost treatment interventions Provides a landscape where the correct intervention is made available rather than a one size fits all approach Deepens resilience amongst communities, builds local resources and determination to make improvements

8 Benefits of Asset Building II Shares responsibility for achieving outcomes and shares the achievements Cost effective, it utilises a mixture of resources Due to personal investment has more chance of success and sustainability Improves the general well being of communities, people working together, sharing, supporting each other Creates an environment people want to be part of, be integrated with, rather than foster a sense of social exclusion
