About this ebook

This book examines the fast growing Inclusive Recovery Cities (IRC) movement, offering a practical framework for embedding addiction recovery within communities. By shifting focus from individual pathology to Community Recovery Capital, it shows how connection with peers, meaningful activities and a sense of community can drive sustainable, lasting recovery.

Tracing IRC development across the UK, Belgium, Sweden and beyond, the book demonstrates how community led initiatives can reduce stigma, improve public health outcomes and strengthen recovery oriented systems of care. Featuring evidence-based examples, it equips practitioners and policymakers with actionable insights for building inclusive environments where recovery can flourish.
