RSA - Whole Person Recovery

RSA - Whole Person Recovery: "Whole Person Recovery: a user-centred systems approach to problem drug use
Report by Rebecca Daddow and Steve Broome

Whole Person Recovery is the RSA's second major investigation into UK drug policy following the well reported Drugs - Facing Facts published in 2007.

With Whole Person Recovery, the RSA set out to understand in a holistic way how problematic drug and alcohol users become trapped in cycles of addiction, what helps or hinders their journey to recovery, and how their recovery can be sustained.

Located in Bognor Regis and Crawley, Whole Person Recovery is a partnership between the RSA and the West Sussex Drug and Alcohol Action Team. For the past 18 months the project has involved more than 200 former and current drug and alcohol users and will continue to support a core group in taking forward the ideas in the final phase between now and March 2011."
