The RCI strategy
Serve individuals better
Sobriety alone doesn’t tell us much about a person’s whole wellbeing, but Recovery capital information allows you to track change and inform how you personalize care and support for the individual.
Understand organizational outcomes
Recovery capital measured over time captures several things many organizations struggle to measure, including the ability to: identify program needs, measure long-term outcomes, and lower administrative burden.
Serve the needs of the entire community
A well-designed recovery capital strategy will rewrite your relationship to the community by allowing you to map deficits, design inclusive solutions, and effectively allocate resources where they’re needed most.
What do the results mean?
The range of Recovery capital
RCI scores fall into a range that identify the type and level of engagement needed to support the individual, organization, or community in that area.
00-50
BUILD
Recovery capital is low and each area requires work to build up
51-70
STRENGTHEN
Recovery capital is good but areas can be exercised for resiliency
71+
REINFORCE
Recovery capital is strong but demands maintenance
Everyone’s first score is just a baseline. The ranges show that we’re always in a state of engagement with our recovery capital—either building it up or exercising its strength.
What is the Recovery Capital Collective (RCC)?
The RCC is a group of like minded recovery and treatment organizations that share the desire to improve outcomes, contribute to the larger recovery ecosystem, and work together to share best practices in engagement and recovery support.
The Collective will:
- Use the RCI
- Measure individual Recovery Capital of their participants
- Aggregate Recovery Capital into a dashboard for your organization
- Benchmark your organizational score with all participants in the collective
- Learn from each other and share best practices
