The Recovery Revolution: Will it include children, adolescents, and transition age youth?
by William L. White, M.A., Arthur C. Evans, Jr., Ph.D., Sadé Ali, M.A., Ijeoma Achara-Abrahams, Ph.D., & Joan King, APRN, BC Systems transformation efforts to shift addiction treatment from a model of acute stabilization to a model of sustained recovery management and to nest addiction treatment within a larger recovery-oriented system of care are underway at federal, state, and local levels, but these innovations to date have focused on the redesign of adult services. This paper explores the potential and limitations of recovery as an organizing concept for services to children, adolescents, and transition age youth, and offers recommendations on how services for these populations can be integrated into recovery- and resiliency-focused, behavioral health care systems transformation efforts.
Addiction Treatment and the Criminal Justice System
 There's no question that alcohol and drug use are factors in a majority of arrests in this country and that working with offenders with substance-abuse problems is difficult and complex work. Although no intervention works 100 percent of the time, there
are evidence-based programs that reduce recidivism, return people to productive lives, make communities safer, and save taxpayers' money. In this issue of Resource Links, our contributors present their thoughts about, research on, and experiences with effective approaches with substance-abusing offenders. The authors discuss problems in this field, but also solutions based on proven interventions.
The Role of Partnership in Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care: The Philadelphia Experience
by Roland Lamb, M.A., Arthur C. Evans, Jr., PhD., and William L. White, M.A. Considerable effort is underway in the United States to transform behavioral health care toward the goal of supporting the long-term recovery of individuals and families. Achieving this goal requires new organizational partnerships, refined strategies of collaboration, fresh approaches to policy and clinical decision-making, and a fundamental restructuring of relationships throughout the system of care. This paper describes the role such partnership processes are playing in transforming addiction treatment in the City of Philadelphia into a recovery-oriented system of care.
