A within-person investigation of recovery identity following substance use disorder: examining the impact of recovery-focused social contexts by Joseph H. Lancaster, Hannah B. Apsley, Timothy R. Brick, Timothy R. Brick, H. Harrington Cleveland

“…Because recovery-focused social contexts exist to support individuals’ recovery wellbeing, we assessed the moderating impact of two such contexts (recovery community centers [RCCs] and recovery meetings) as same-day moderators.Methods and materials91 RCC visitors across Pennsylvania completed daily diary surveys for 10 evenings. Daily measures of recovery identity, meaningfulness, recovery meeting and RCC attendance were analyzed in a multilevel Tobit model (to address right-censoring in the outcome data).ResultsResults indicated both day-level recovery identity (b = 0.79, SE = 0.04, p < 0.001) and person-level recovery identity (b = 0.94, SE = 0.11, p < 0.001) were positively associated with daily meaningfulness. …”
