REC-CAP instrument measures both positive and negative recovery capital.\u00a0<\/p>
In recent years, there has been a recognition that recovery is a journey that involves the growth of recovery capital. Recovery Capital is the construct for measuring individual progress on a recovery journey and it has become a commonly used term in addiction treatment and research yet its operationalization and measurement has been limited.<\/p>
REC-CAP serves a dual purpose: the primary purpose is to operationalize the measurement of Recovery Capital Domains to inform recovery planning and the secondary purpose is to measure change over time\u00a0<\/span>(recovery capital outcomes)<\/i>.<\/span><\/p> REC-CAP reliability is validated through a psychometric study\u00a0Recovery capital pathways: Modelling the components of recovery wellbeing<\/i><\/span>\u00a0published in the Journal of\u00a0Drug and Alcohol Dependence (<\/i>Volume 181<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>,\u00a01 December 2017,<\/span><\/span> P<\/span>ages<\/span> 11-19)<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Findings indicate a pathway to recovery capital that involves greater time in residence (‘retention’), linked to an increase in meaningful activities and a reduction in barriers to recovery and unmet needs that, in turn, promote recovery capital and positive wellbeing. <\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0376871617304830?via%3Dihub<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p> The REC-CAP instrument measures both positive and negative Recovery Capital in the following domains to provide a Recovery Capital Index Score.<\/strong><\/span><\/p> Positive Recovery Capital Domains\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p> <\/p> From William L.
