White Papers Week 6: History of Youth Recovery Supports

A Brief History of Youth Recovery Supports

Stigma, Policy and Practice
Kristen Harper Headshot
Kristen Harper

Introduction

Youth recovery support services have been difficult to track over the past sixty years. Recovery high schools, collegiate recovery programs, young people’s twelve step program groups, faith-based youth groups, Alternative Peer Groups (APG’s) and Young People in Recovery (YPR) chapters have organically emerged over the past several decades in response to the growing need to provide support to young people in, or seeking recovery. These developmentally appropriate programs and services are beginning to take root, but are still very much in their infancy stages. Despite recent attempts to increase access and availability to evidence-based youth support services, overall, the recovery support field has been slow to respond. This paper will provide a general overview of the evolution of the youth recovery movement, discuss current practices and gaps in services, and conclude with a set of predictions for the future of the youth recovery support services.
