On-Demand Session
Overview
This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 55th Annual Conference addresses the critical elements of a unique recovery community organization model and how those elements contribute to positive recovery outcomes.
Recovery community organizations (RCOs) represent an important resource for individuals experiencing substance use disorder but there is a paucity of evidence and characterization of the different types of RCOs that exist. In this session, we present the critical elements of an effective unique sustainable RCO model that leverages community resources that can be replicated in other communities across the country in need.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Systems-based Practice
This session addresses the following ICPE Competencies:Values and Ethics, Roles and Responsibilities
