" Continued sobriety or abstinence (which includes abstinence attained with medication, such as methadone or buprenorphine) is an important part of sustained recovery from addiction.

However, recovery is a larger construct than sobriety or abstinence that embraces a full reengagement with the community based on resilience, health, and hope.

Therefore, peer recovery support services are expected to focus less on the pathology of substance use disorders and more on maximizing the opportunities to create a lifetime of recovery and wellness for self, family, and community."
