What is a ROSC?
The term Recovery Oriented System of Care (ROSC) reflects how services are both created and implemented to promote long-term recovery with individuals at the center of the planning process. A ROSC supports recovery through ongoing support services and coordinated strategies to assist individuals in recovery while they rebuild their life within the community. Emphasis is placed on prevention services, personal and community health and wellness, and inclusion of those recovering as a system of advisors, planners and service-delivery specialists.

What makes a ROSC unique?
Traditionally, recovery-oriented services have been viewed as long-term recovery activities that occur after completion of formal substance use treatment. However, recovery-oriented activities and approaches are also part of the full continuum of care available to persons within a ROSC. Substance use problems are preventable but when left untreated can progress into more serious conditions, even becoming chronic. A ROSC provides a network of services to address the full spectrum of substance use problems, from harmful use to chronic conditions.
How does a ROSC support the community?
Through education, communities are strengthened by recovery-oriented activities that can prevent inappropriate substance use before it occurs. Education also raises awareness about disease myths that foster stigma and discrimination, and provides early intervention for those at risk of developing substance use conditions.
Like other chronic health conditions, substance use disorders typically require long-term involvement with health care systems and parallel informal networks. Recovery-oriented services include provisions for continuing care following treatment such as education regarding self-care, regular check-ups and linkage to community resources.
Each of the partners in a ROSC can play a role the provision of recovery support services. When these services are provided across the continuum of care, the efforts to support resiliency and sustain long-term recovery are magnified.
