To increase understanding of how the Michigan 16 ROSC Principles and the 10 Key Components for Drug Courts work together.

To describe how having a Recovery Coach housed within the Recovery Court improves connections with the recovery community.

To describe how the ROSC holistic model impacts community wellness.

Michigan’s recovery-oriented system of care supports an individual’s journey toward recovery and wellness by creating and sustaining networks of formal and informal services and supports. The opportunities established through collaboration, partnership, and a broad array of services promote life-enhancing recovery and wellness for individuals, families, and communities.

Adopted by the ROSC Transformation Steering Committee, September 30, 2010.

The mission of drug courts is to stop the abuse of alcohol and other drugs and related criminal activity. Drug courts offer a compelling choice for individuals whose criminal justice involvement stems from AOD use: participation in treatment. In exchange for successful completion of the treatment program, the court may dismiss the original charge, reduce or set aside a sentence, offer some lesser penalty, or offer a combination of these.

Defining Drug Courts: The Key Components

ROSC is the acronym for Recovery Oriented Systems of Care

ROSC is a systems change which effects how substance use disorder treatment services are delivered to individuals and their families

ROSC is a philosophy shift that focuses on Recovery Management over the lifespan, instead of acute treatment episodes

ROSC is a culture shift that invites increased reliance on persons in recovery and their experience
