康复与社交网络和同伴影响的转变有关，即不再使用同伴并参与社交网络，包括那些正在康复的社交网络。本文使用定量数据方法对一组自称正在从酒精和其他药物 (AOD) 问题中恢复的个体与来自同一城市的参与酒精和药物治疗的一组个体进行比较。使用的措施包括社交网络参与和回收资本评估。那些正在康复的人在他们的社交网络中康复的人更多，在他们的网络中积极使用的人更少，并且更有可能参与正式的康复支持小组。他们还报告说，生活质量更高，抑郁和焦虑程度更低，个人和社会资本水平更高。这些团体在职能上几乎没有重叠，康复模式的主要挑战之一将是将积极的康复网络和康复文化与结构化治疗服务的许多用户的狭隘且不太注重康复的世界相协调。了解从使用社区过渡到恢复社区的机制对于理解恢复之旅的核心组成部分至关重要。
Recovery has been associated with a transition in social networks and peer influences in terms of moving away from using peers and engaging in social networks, including those in recovery. This article uses a quantitative data approach to compare a group of individuals who described themselves as in recovery from alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems with a group from the same city involved in alcohol and drug treatment. The measures used included social network involvement and an assessment of recovery capital. Those in recovery had more people in recovery in their social networks, fewer people in active use in their networks, and were much more likely to be involved in formal recovery support groups. They also reported higher quality of life, lower depression and anxiety, and higher levels of personal and social capital. The groups hardly overlapped at all in their functioning, and one of the major challenges of a recovery model will be reconciling the positive recovery networks and cultures of recovery with the narrower and less recovery focused world of many users of structured treatment services. Understanding the mechanisms for the transition from using to recovery communities is essential to understanding a core component of the recovery journey.
