Summary
This chapter reviews substance misuse services in the UK in the context of change from market led to community-based approaches and presents what is known about what initiates, supports and sustains the process of recovery, desistance from offending and community re-integration.We also review the impact on service delivery, in a policy environment that has championed peer and mutual aid processes, and parallel this with an initiative deploying a similar model around violence reduction.We conclude with reflections on what the fields of recovery and substance misuse services can offer to the design and delivery of wider public services, and how developing recovery-oriented systems of care can inform the building of flourishing communities in which individual recovery capital is seen to generate and sustain community capital and community connections, that act at an individual level as well as being a preventative early intervention at the level of communities.
