Abstract
Introduction: Recovery capital is defined as the sum of one’s personal, social, and community resources to initiate and maintain addiction recovery. Available evidence points to recovery capital as a valuable predictor of long-term recovery, but less is known about the empirical underpinings of recovery capital as a construct, its stability over time and the factors that are related to building recovery capital Methods: In a convenience sample of persons in recovery from a drug addiction in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Belgium (n=367), we measured recovery capital using the Brief Assessment of Recovery Capital (BARC-10) as well as various other substance use variables and recovery indicators at baseline and 12 months later. Using linear model analyses, we established the relationship between recovery capital at baseline and changes in recovery capital and several predictor variables, differentiating between persons in early (<1 year), sustained (1-5 years) and stable (>5 years) recovery. Results: Recovery capital was high, but reduced slightly over the 12-month observation period. More perceived social support and higher quality of life were associated with more recovery capital at baseline, while recent use of illicit substances and poorer mental health were related with lower levels of recovery capital. Greater reductions in recovery capital at follow-up were predicted by less social support and lower BARC-10 scores at baseline. Individuals in early recovery had lower recovery capital than those in sustained and stable recovery. Conclusion: These findings highlight several areas for supporting individuals in addiction recovery to increase their recovery resources and tackle recovery barriers.
