Professionals can impact the development of recovery capital (RC) in clients with a history of substance use disorder or addiction. Personal RC includes both physical and human capital. Essentially, it is the combination of resources one has available to aid them in overcoming substance use challenges.
Substance use disorders (SUDs) affect individuals across all walks of life, but those serving in the military often face unique challenges when dealing with these conditions. The pressures of military service, combined with the pervasive stigma surrounding SUDs, create significant barriers to seeking treatment. Addressing the challenges surrounding stigma and SUDs is critical for ensuring the well-being of service members and veterans while promoting a culture of wellness and support.
