Social capital is defined as relations that provide valuable resources to individuals through participation in social networks. People with low-socioeconomic status remain at a disadvantage for acquiring positive social capital, a component of recovery capital. The concept of social recovery emphasizes the relational processes of recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 In-depth life history data were collected from 29 individuals who used heroin, cocaine, crack, or methamphetamine for at least five years, have less than a high-school education, and unstable employment and housing. Qualitative data were coded for social networks accessed throughout the life course, distinguished by bonding, bridging, and linking social capital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 Social networks included drug treatment programs; non-drug-using family and friends; religious\/spiritual groups; workplace networks; and social clubs\/activities. Bonding and\/or bridging social capital were acquired through treatment, family and friends, religious\/spiritual groups, workplaces, and social clubs. Linking social capital was not acquired through any social network available, and many barriers to accessing mainstream social networks were found.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 This is a small study conducted in the USA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 Social recovery is proposed as an analytical tool as well as for developing prevention, intervention, and treatment strategies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Social implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 A greater focus on social recovery is needed to achieve sustained recovery for individuals lacking access to, and engagement in mainstream social networks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\u2013 This paper further develops a new conceptual framework to use in recovery research and practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/dat-08-2015-0046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,19]],"date-time":"2016-02-19T04:07:54Z","timestamp":1455854874000},"page":"95-105","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["\u201cI don\u2019t know what fun is\u201d: examining the intersection of social capital, social networks, and social recovery"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Miriam","family":"Boeri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Megan","family":"Gardner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin","family":"Gerken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jack","family":"Wheeler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020121800143230000_b3","unstructured":"Boeri, M. , Gibson, D. and Boshears, P.
