Calling all Researchers, practitioners, peer leaders, policymakers, funders, and anyone building recovery-supportive ecosystems! Join us Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 10:00-11:00 pm Pacific/1:00-2:00 pm Eastern for a fast-paced, 1-hour Showcase of the Frontiers in Public Health special issue, “Innovations in Recovery Science: Pathways, Policies, and Platforms that Promote Thriving After Addiction” hosted by the Consortium on Addiction Recovery Science. Email Patrick Hibbard (pfhibbard@chestnut.org) if you are interested in attending.

You’ll hear rapid highlights straight from the authors—spanning recovery community centers (RCCs), peer recovery support services, recovery housing, recovery processes/identity, family & special populations, and policy/systems innovation.

Why this showcase (and the special issue) matters

• This is the largest special issue on recovery science to date with 24 articles—original research, reviews, conceptual work, and a case study—covering recovery as a dynamic process and innovations in services, systems, and measurement.
• Themes align with today’s recovery science needs: RCCs; PRSS & workforce; recovery housing; recovery processes & identity; family/special populations; policy & systems innovation; measurement & assessment.
• Cross-cutting priorities include equity and population tailoring, strong peer/workforce infrastructure, measurement innovation (taxonomies, daily diary, RCC metrics, and economic tools), integration across systems (OTP–RCC linkages, primary care checkups), and sustainability/financing.
• Bottom line: Recovery science is shifting from treating SUD alone to supporting thriving, long-term recovery across social, psychological, and structural domains.
