Our understanding of recovery, particularly from substance use and mental health disorders, is continuously evolving as research offers new insights into the risks and protective factors that impact the recovery process. The fifth volume of the Journal for Advancing Justice presents four articles that add to the knowledge base on how a collaborative relationship among justice, treatment, and social service professionals can help justice-involved individuals sustain their recovery. As we continue to seek improvement and innovation in the justice system and to help individuals impacted by substance use and mental health disorders, these articles demonstrate that we must provide a safe environment for people to heal, promote empowerment through education, and identify the inherent strengths of all the people we serve.

Articles:

• Introduction: Sustaining Long-Term Recovery as Part of Justice Reform
• Financial Capability Building in the Treatment of Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders: A Co-Creation and Engagement Approach to Intervention Development
• Improvements in Recovery Capital Within the Context of Adult Drug Court With Parallel Peer Support Services: A 6-Month Post-Enrollment Study
