Women with OUD emphasized the importance of connecting with providers with lived experience both inside and outside of PS roles, while professionals described how lived experience bolstered their work. Some professionals described biases they held due to their own histories but recognized that training could help them better recognize and overcome these biases.</p>","PeriodicalId":45598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12439107/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logging into the app but not using the e-coach feature was associated with reduced anxiety and decreased likelihood of opioid use, while use of the app's e-coach feature was associated with reduced stimulant and other illicit substances.

This study aimed to: 1) hypothesize recovery capital growth trajectories via graphical representations employing fitted lines and curves; and 2) generate preliminary recovery capital growth estimates through statistical models that predict monthly and yearly growth in recovery capital scores. We used the Multidimensional Inventory of Recovery Capital (MIRC), a new, psychometrically validated measure, to assess recovery capital on a sample of (n=482) people, as well collecting key control variable data. Regarding Aim 1, graphical plots showed that growth was observed for all forms of capital; however, not for human and cultural capital in the first 12 months. Regarding Aim 2, controlled regression models predict an overall increase of approximately one unit of total recovery capital per year. Social workers and other recovery professionals may use these results to assess and treatment plan.</p>","PeriodicalId":45598,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions","volume":"25 3","pages":"348-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12435521/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145076357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
