The overall aim of the study is to improving recovery capital for recovering persons with criminal legal system (CLS) involvement and increasing support for their loved ones through adapting and testing an innovative, dyadic intervention. Social support from loved ones such as family or close friends plays a critical role in the recovery process and is a vital element of the recovery capital of individuals with a substance use disorder. The STAR project addresses a crucial gap in research by focusing on both CLS-involved recovering individuals and the capacity of their loved ones to provide support and has the potential to make a significant impact towards enhancing scalable, sustainable services in recovery community center settings.
