Abstract
In 2023, 54.7 million individuals were in need of substance use (SU) treatment, yet only 23.7% received the necessary care. Individuals with a substance use disorder (SUD) face a wide range of barriers that hinder their ability to begin or sustain recovery. Dr. David Best's REC-CAP Barriers to Recovery Assessment is a tool used by providers to identify the challenges patients encounter in SU treatment. However, this assessment does not capture a comprehensive list of barriers. The current mixed-methods study aims to expand the REC-CAP assessment - drawing on insights from SU treatment providers - and to pilot the revised version in a SU population. Survey results revealed significant associations between the original and newly added barriers. Overall, this pilot study underscores the importance of improving current SU recovery assessments to better equip providers with a fuller understanding of their patients' needs.
