INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration’s Division of Mental Health and Addiction is launching the Recovery Capital Index (RCI).
The Index is designed to measure the sum of resources necessary for an individual to initiate and sustain recovery from addiction and to help track the overall recovery capital of the state and communities, per a press release.
Recovery capital is the overall measure of internal and external resources available to someone with a substance use disorder to ensure their continual success in recovery. The RCI provides a comprehensive picture of a person’s whole well-being using an online, automated 68-question survey. The higher the level of recovery capital, the better the chances of someone maintaining success in recovery.
The state of Indiana has invested more than $45 million of federal State Opioid Response grant funding over the past four years to combat the drug epidemic and improve mental health.
To complete the RCI survey, text “RECOVERY” to 833-638-3784. All Hoosiers are encouraged to complete the survey, not just those directly affected by addiction.
