What is Recovery?

Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.




What is the Illinois Statewide Network of ROSC Councils (ROSC-ISN)?

The central focus of the ROSC-ISN is to create an infrastructure - or “system of care” - with the resources to effectively address the full range of substance use issues within communities. For more information about the history of the ROSC model, visit the Center for Addiction Recovery Support.
  

The ROSC-ISN Program

ROSC-ISN established networked, geographically distributed ROSC Councils that assist communities with building local recovery-oriented systems of care and that can network with the statewide ROSC.

 


Features and Goals of the Illinois ROSC Councils  

A ROSC Council is a local collaboration of organizations that seek to improve the support that their community provides to individuals who are on a pathway to recovery.

 In addition to adopting the ROSC model statewide, the Illinois Department of Human Services' Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR) has implemented local ROSC Councils in numerous communities through its Recovery Oriented Systems of Care - Illinois Statewide Network (ROSC-ISN) program.  

 

The ROSC-ISN Program

ROSC-ISN established networked, geographically distributed ROSC Councils that assist communities with building local recovery-oriented systems of care and that can network with the statewide ROSC. 
  
ROSC Councils build collaborations in their communities that connect everyone who can support recovery. This may include local hospitals, primary care, mental health, law enforcement, local business owners, local government representatives and policy makers, persons with lived experience and SUD intervention, treatment, prevention, and recovery support service providers.
    
 
 

Features and Goals of an Illinois ROSC Council

A ROSC Council is a local collaboration of organizations that seek to improve the support that their community provides to individuals who are on a pathway to recovery. Through their work in the community, ROSC Councils will: 
  • Promote a culture that nurtures recovery;
  • Build capacity and infrastructure to support a recovery-oriented system of care;
  • Develop a commitment to implement, enhance, and sustain a recovery-oriented system of care.
The goals of the ROSC Councils in Illinois include: 
  • Reducing stigma,
  • Promoting Medication Assistance Recovery and other evidence-based practices,
  • Promoting harm reduction,
  • Ensuring effective service delivery,
  • Prioritizing equity.
