A principal components analysis revealed two distinct factors (hope and coping) to be present in the process of recovery from SUD. Implications for future research on the recovery process and the HCRM are discussed.A clear definition of recovery and its factors will assist in more accurate clinical research and assessment of recovery. Many in the substance use disorder (SUD) field hope that a definition of recovery will aid in systematic measurement of recovery by limiting the variability of reported outcomes and promoting the development of assessment tools necessary to evaluate treatment effectiveness (The
