More on "Recovery Capital"

When we discuss personal recovery capital, we look at it as being composed of two separate entities: physical and human recovery capital. Our personal recovery capital can be broken down into both physical and human capital. Our physical recovery capital includes the status of our personal health, financial status, having health insurance vs. not having health insurance, a safe living environment that is conducive to recovery, and our basic necessities of clothing, food, and access to transportation. The human recovery capital is composed of our personal values and knowledge towards sobriety and life, educational and vocational skills, self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-efficacy.
