The intensity, duration and type of recovery support people require at different stages differs between individuals (Best and others, 2019). In the centre where all 3 circles intersect, we list the interventions delivered by all 3 service types. These are: The field of medieval studies offers a few useful terms. One is ‘orthopraxis’ (practice according to a rule or tradition, in the sense of ‘making straight’), thought to have been coined by Raimon Pannikar and used by Paul Gehl and Mary Carruthers in their studies of monasticism. In her book The Craft of Thought (1998), Carruthers writes: ‘Any craft develops an orthopraxis, a craft “knowledge” which is learned, and indeed can only be learned, by the painstaking practical imitation and complete familiarisation of exemplary masters’ techniques and experience. Most of this knowledge cannot be set down in words; it must be learned by practising, over and over again.’ Binski enlists the classics: ‘When it comes to making something, the matter to hand is always shaped by hard knowledge (‘episteme’, Latin ‘scientia’), talent (‘empeiria’) and method (‘techne’ or ‘ars’).’ The most subtle of these, scientia, he defines as knowledge of the ‘whys’ of method, a more complex form of comprehension than the ‘hows’.

have access to a range of community resources that can help their recovery (including outside spaces, community centres and workplaces) Peer-led initiatives help people to develop a new identity, social network and life, offering an alternative to problem alcohol and drug use. Agile and innovative Each of the overlapping parts of these circles provide a simple description of some of the main interventions that can be delivered by 2 or more of these service types. Where 2 circles intersect, we list the core interventions delivered by both services. Language used to describe terms related to lived experience can be inconsistent and confusing. So we have defined 2 main relevant terms below. Other terms used in this guidance are defined in the glossary. Lived experience initiatives Peer-delivered and peer-led interventions have been described and evaluated in a wide range of settings. This includes in:Focusing on metalworking from 1400–1800 CE, Smith looks at the nature of craft knowledge and skill, studying present-day and historical practices, objects, recipes, and artisanal manuals. From these sources, she considers how we can reconstruct centuries of largely lost knowledge. In doing so, she aims not only to unearth the techniques, material processes, and embodied experience of the past but also to gain insight into the lifeworld of artisans and their understandings of matter. Some RSS are delivered by treatment providers, some by lived experience recovery organisations ( LEROs), and some by a combination of both. See section 7 below for more about LEROs. FAVOR UK runs an ARCO with a network of RCO members in the UK and has developed a toolkit to support people setting up RCOs. The UK ARCO identifies the core principles of an RCO as follows. These standards will help lived experience initiatives and system partners to identify what stage of development they are at and how they want to develop further. CLERO has developed a map of LERO provision in the UK and Ireland. References

When people in recovery form a community, it makes recovery more visible and so can inspire other people. This has been described in research as the ‘social contagion of hope’ (Best and Lubman, 2012). What we mean by recovery Different definitions of recovery
