摘要

Recovery Capital (RC) refers to internal and external resources that facilitate recovery from substance use disorder and allow assessment of individual progress on a recovery journey. The Assessment of Recovery Capital (ARC) is a brief and easy to administer questionnaire used to measure RC and it’s an outcome monitoring instrument for substance dependent patients in treatment. The present study aims to translate and test the ARC in an Italian clinical sample. 100 patients who attended out-patient treatments participated to the study. They were evaluated with the adapted version of ARC, the WHOQOL-BREF and the TOP. Cronbach alpha was 0.85. Correlations between ARC total score, WHOQOL-BREF and TOP questionnaire and their subscales, ranged from .33 to .70. ARC means were significantly different according to the presence of stable housing (p = .009), meaningful activities (p = .016), abstinence (p = .002), and comorbidity (p = .007). The analyses showed that the Italian ARC scale is a valid and reliable tool to measure RC. The spread of ARC in public addiction services could constitute a significant advance in the field of addiction recovery, in alignment with the emerging recovery-oriented approach to addiction recovery care.
