Recovery Support

The range of services, programmes, and community resources that help individuals sustain recovery and improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life after or alongside treatment for substance use disorders. These supports may include peer support, recovery coaching, mutual-help groups, housing assistance, employment services, family support, and community-based recovery programmes. Recovery support recognises that recovery is an ongoing process and that long-term wellbeing often requires continued social, practical, and emotional support. By strengthening personal resilience, social connections, and opportunities for reintegration, recovery support plays an important role in comprehensive responses to substance use.
