Summary of the article:
This is a systematic review of the available literature exploring the occupational therapy role in addiction recovery and rehabilitation.
Studies from a variety of countries and different health service structures were included in this study. Treatment reviewed was divided into three themes which included: single occupation focused intervention, skills training and establishing a community-based sober routine.
This article provides a great starting point for accessing the literature in this field and provides a useful summary of interventions which could be incorporated into occupational therapy practice.
