About Recovery Science Research

Studies of recovery have long been an offshoot of addiction science, focused largely on pathology and symptomology. Addiction science focuses on how people get sick. Instead, the Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery has partnered with a variety of colleagues and stakeholders in order to explore how people get well. This standalone, interdisciplinary, evidence-driven field of recovery science is a break away from traditional addiction science.

The Recovery Informed Paradigm

  • Successful long-term recovery is self-evident and a fundamentally emanicipatory process.
  • Leverages the self-evident phenomena of successful recovery in order to study and replicate emanicipatory processes.
  • Leverages and capitalized common subjective landmarks of lived recovery experiences in order to facilitate emanicipatory growth.
  • Leverages the insights of successful recovery experiences in order to bridge the knowledge gaps between recovery science and policy, clinical theory, and public opinion.
