Providing a Conceptual Framework for Recovery Transformation

In order to successfully implement the sweeping changes that transformation calls for, it is first critical to establish a clear understanding of recovery and recovery oriented systems of care.

In Philadelphia’s experience, establishing conceptual clarity was the first and most critical step in developing a shared vision of change for the system and community. The following resources helped to create conceptual clarity and a common language among stakeholders in Philadelphia:

• An Integrated Model of Recovery Oriented Behavioral Health Care
• Bill White Interview with Dr. Evans
• Transformation Brochure For People with Behavioral Health and Substance Use Challenges
