Recovery Oriented Systems of Care
Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC): Creating recovery-oriented systems of care requires a transformation of the entire service system as it shifts to becoming responsive to meet the needs of individuals and families seeking services.

Recovery from substance dependence is an ongoing process of change through community support and a voluntarily maintained lifestyle characterized by sobriety, personal health and productive community involvement.
