Defining Recovery

June 7th, 2010 – Posted by Betty Ford Institute in BFI Conference Publications
Tags:

The first Consensus Conference held by the Betty Ford Institute took place on September 18-20, 2006 and tackled a fundamental issue in the addiction treatment field: How is recovery defined and measured?

Sensitive questions considered at the inaugural conference included:

  • What exactly is recovery?
  • Is professional treatment necessary for long-term recovery to work?
  • Is there a role for psychotropic and/or other medications during recovery?
  • Is ongoing 12-step meeting attendance key to long-term recovery?
  • How do we measure “success” vis-à-vis recovery?
  • Is it possible to translate the concept of recovery into numbers?
