Whole Person Recovery from Substance Use Disorder: A Call for Research Examining a Dynamic Behavioral Ecological Model of Contexts Supportive of Recovery.
Article in Addiction research & theory, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Abstinence has long been considered the defining feature of recovery from substance use disorder, with a focus on individual level factors associated with abstinence rather than identifying individual and socioecological factors that support recovery. This paper proposes greater consideration of dynamic behavioral ecological influences on recovery and offers an expanded contextualized approach to understanding and promoting recovery and predicting dynamic recovery pathways. Methods: Conceptual and empirical bases are summarized that support moving beyond research, treatment, and policy agendas that focus narrowly on the individual as the fundamental change agent in recovery and that emphasize changes in substance use as the primary outcome metric. A model is presented that expands the scope of recovery-relevant variables to include dynamically-varying ecological contexts that variously support or hinder recovery along with an expanded scope of functional and contextual outcome variables. Results: Examining behavior patterns through time in changing environmental contexts that include community and neighborhood-level variables and social determinants of health is critical for understanding recovery and developing multi-level interventions to promote change. Molar behavioral and ecological perspectives are needed to understand how recovery is influenced by broader contextual features in addition to individual determinants. This paper provides concrete recommendations for pursuit of this broadened research agenda. Conclusions: Individual pathology-based approaches to understanding and promoting substance use disorder recovery are too narrowly focused. This review calls for greater consideration of the dynamic behavioral ecological and temporally extended contexts that contribute to harmful substance use and systemic changes necessary to promote and sustain recovery.
