Webinar recording: How do we measure addiction recovery? Incorporating the perspectives of people with lived experience

Recovery from addiction is considered an ongoing process; it requires the person to continuously manage their addiction to prevent problems from returning. But there is no clear consensus on what recovery means in the field of addictions.

On December 11, 2019, EENet presented a webinar looking at how people with lived experience of addiction define recovery. The panel discussed the results of a study on this topic and implications for Ontario’s addiction treatment system.
