Patient Journey Map Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Experiences
About the Report
Addiction Policy Forum’s (APF) Patient Experiences Journey Map was developed through the input of patients in treatment and recovery from substance use disorder (SUD). The map underscores the obstacles and positive points patients encounter across seven distinct phases, from treatment to finding long-term, stable recovery.
The Addiction Policy Forum was named one of the winners of the National Institute on Drug Abuse “Mapping Patient Journeys in Drug Addiction Treatment Challenge”; funds from this prize were used to support the development of this report.
The qualitative study included 60 Life Course History interviews of individuals in recovery from substance use disorders across 22 states and Canada.
