Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care

Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) is a coordinated network of community-based services and supports that is person-centered and builds on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families, and communities to achieve abstinence and improved health, wellness, and quality of life for those with or at risk of alcohol and drug problems.

Note: Prevention Services also play a major role in developing ROSC.

ROSC will require developing supports and services that provide self-directed approaches which respect the role of personal choice and commitment in pursuit of health and wellness. Developing a ROSC also requires helping engage people and families in support networks in their communities, to ease their integration back into the community and get their lives back on track. Linking people to services and supports helps sustain long-term recovery. The services and supports may include resources such as:

recovery centers in your community;
recovery activities and websites;
peer support;
mutual help groups;
faith based supports;
housing;
transportation;
education and vocational;
mental health services;
medical care, including HIV Services;
financial and budget counseling;
legal, and advocacy services;
alcohol/drug and gambling services;
prevention for children and adolescents; and
parenting and family services.

Developing a Recovery Oriented System of Care that is built on the strengths and resilience of individuals, families and communities who are actively taking responsibility for their health and wellness drives the continued efforts to build a foundation for recovery in NYS.
