This book brings together all the key evidence on recovery capital measurement and its application. It offers a clear and accessible overview of the development of the strengths-based approach in addressing behavioural health issues and quantifying and measuring recovery capital, along with the evidence base for this approach.
The book sets out the proven benefits of this approach to measuring and bolstering addiction recovery, demonstrating the impact of the approach in improving the quality of services available to people at different stages of their recovery journey, making it the 'go to' book on this topic for researchers, policy makers, practitioners and people in recovery.

"This deftly sequenced collection by brilliant authors crosses new frontiers. The promise of recovery capital theory and community practice for recovery is richly developed. This book is an indispensable reference for scholars of addictions and of macro problems that demand development of community recovery capital.'' John Braithwaite, Australian National University
