What are the 5 elements of recovery refers to frameworks used in mental health, addiction, and general wellness recovery models, though there are several competing models with different five elements. One widely cited model from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration SAMHSA describes five elements as connection, hope, identity, meaning, and empowerment, sometimes summarized as CHIME. Another model for addiction recovery lists five elements as hope, personal responsibility, self-advocacy, support, and education. In physical injury recovery, five elements might be rest, nutrition, movement, sleep, and mental health. In business recovery, elements might be assessment, planning, resource allocation, execution, and review. For mental health recovery specifically, common five are connectedness to others, hope for future, positive identity beyond illness, meaning and purpose in life, and empowerment and control over life. In substance abuse recovery, five elements often include abstinence, personal growth, improved health, repaired relationships, and productive life. The exact five depends on model, but common threads are hope, support from others, taking responsibility, finding purpose, and building skills for managing challenges.
