The Recovery Collaborative of Oklahoma

The system that provides mental health and substance abuse services to low-income
Oklahomans is facing a time of unprecedented change and opportunity. This
circumstance is primarily due to a philosophical shift that has occurred in the practice of
mental health and substance abuse treatment services. This change in approach began
with the advent of the Consumer Movement in the early 1970s and continues today with
the ongoing development of recovery-oriented mental health and substance abuse
treatment practices. These practices provide consumers the opportunity to direct their
own recovery processes. The implementation of these treatment practices is supported
by a growing body of evidence validating that recovery-oriented treatment practices are
more effective in providing positive outcomes for mental health consumers and
substance abuse clients.
