Prevention and Recovery: Cornerstones in Modern Treatment
Description: An integral component of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA) is the National Prevention Strategy, which is designed to shift the focus of healthcare from the treatment of sickness and disease to prevention and the maintenance of health. This presentation will review how the this shift and the principles of prevention and recovery, when combined, can strengthen the impact of care and build wellness - at whatever point of addressing the illness along its trajectory over the continuum of care in prevention, intervention, treatment or recovery itself. By reviewing the evolution of our understanding of the illness and in examining best preventative and recovery science and practice, each point of contact or opportunity will be defined not as a separate end in itself but as a dynamic process of enhanced services and anticipatory practice to address substance use as a potentially chronic illness while simultaneously building the wellness of each individual, family and community.
