Veterans in recovery face unique challenges, such as high rates of psychiatric comorbidities, difficulties adjusting to civilian life, and inadequate housing and mental health services. While prior research has explored veterans' experiences in recovery, studies have not implemented a multilevel perspective in their analyses. The current qualitative study examined how individual veteran experiences intersect with interpersonal and systemic factors. Semistructured focus groups were conducted with veterans who were former or current residents of recovery homes (<jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920). Thematic analysis was utilized to explore veterans' personal experiences through the CHIME\u2010D framework (connectedness, hope &amp; optimism, identity, meaning in life, empowerment, and difficulties). The data were further analyzed within a socioecological model (intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community). Each component of the CHIME\u2010D framework was salient across all focus groups, with connectedness, empowerment, and difficulties being the most prominent themes that occurred across all socioecological levels. Results suggest that recovery initiatives can effectively assist veterans by promoting empowerment, facilitating social connections, and addressing cooccurring difficulties across multiple socioecological contexts. Additionally, treatment programs should encourage veterans to take on meaningful roles in their communities. Future research should continue to explore veterans' recovery experiences using a socioecological model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajcp.12615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,18]],"date-time":"2022-07-18T08:30:14Z","timestamp":1658133014000},"page":"394-406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Journey to wellness: A socioecological analysis of veterans in recovery from substance use disorders"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"70","author":[{"given":"Simone P.","family":"Grisamore","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences Drexel University Philadelphia Pennsylvania USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca L.","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology University of Maryland Baltimore County Maryland USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elzbieta K.","family":"Wiedbusch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental Health Law &amp; Policy University of South Florida Tampa Florida USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mayra","family":"Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Michigan State University East Lansing Michigan USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlie E.
