The RCI is a validated, researched and widely adopted measure of recovery, outcomes, and wellbeing. The RCI is an accepted measure by The Joint Commission for the purpose of conducting measurement based care.

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.

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.
