Objective
The purpose of the present study was to develop a realist program theory of a community-based residential treatment centre to understand which components of treatment are most effective, who benefits from treatment, and why.
Findings/Key points
The analysis identified an overarching organizational context and 11 context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) configurations that comprise the program theory. The CMOs were grouped into three themes (i.e. relational, psychological, and diversity), underscoring the multiple pathways in which recovery is achieved for individuals with SUDs. Across the themes, the importance of building peer recovery relationships, creating structure, and inter-agency collaborations were highlighted.
