The first unit looks at definitions and basic patterns and prevalence of recovery.

This unit focuses on the existing evidence about recovery and the growing knowledge we have about recovery patterns.

This unit is about the growth of recovery-oriented drug policies in the UK ,and more recently in Europe, and the challenges of attempting to implement them in practice.

We know that men and women typically have different addiction careers. This unit explores how recovery differs for men and women and how we can measure this.

This unit is divided into two sections - the first part deals with the studies and findings that shaped the REC-PATH project and the second part deals with the methods that we used for the research.

In the final unit, we describe the key findings from the various work packages in the study and what the implications might be for research, policy and practice.
