Recovery Capital and Community Integration Among a Sample of Formerly Incarcerated Adults: A Pilot Study.

This study investigated the impact of recovery capital (RC) on community integration (CI) among a sample of adults formerly incarcerated. A sample of 78 participants who identified as being in recovery from substance use disorder and having been previously incarcerated completed a survey asking about their RC and CI. Results of a hierarchical regression model investigating the relationship between RC and CI revealed a significant model, accounting for 27% of the variance in CI. Results provide support for considering aspects of RC, particularly social support, when facilitating reentry and reintegration for individuals who have experienced incarceration. Results also reveal that people who identified as multiracial reported significantly lower levels of CI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
