According to SAMSHA, what are the four dimensions of recovery?

  1. Health, education, purpose, and community

  2. Health, home, purpose, and community

  3. Health, happiness, wealth, and hope

  4. Community, connection, care, and culture

The correct answer is: Health, home, purpose, and community

The four dimensions of recovery according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) are health, home, purpose, and community. This framework emphasizes the holistic approach needed for effective recovery from substance use disorders and mental health issues. Health refers to the overall physical and mental well-being of an individual, promoting a lifestyle that fosters wellness and self-care. Home signifies the importance of a stable and safe place to live, which is fundamental to recovery. Purpose encompasses the sense of meaning and direction in life, including goals, aspirations, and contributing to one's family or society. Lastly, community highlights the role of social connections, support networks, and involvement in social activities, which are vital for a person’s recovery journey. Understanding these four dimensions helps individuals and service providers create a comprehensive recovery plan that addresses various aspects of a person’s life, ensuring that all areas are supported during the recovery process. This holistic understanding guides recovery coaches and other professionals in their practice, facilitating a more effective and personalized approach to recovery.
