The Public Science Collaborative at Iowa State University conducted journey map workshops throughout the state to document and explore the pathways and experiences of people in recovery from a substance use disorder. The goals of the workshops were to 1) identify unique and emerging
pathways of recovery, 2) document real experiences of people navigating recovery services in Iowa, 3) document and define unique recovery trajectories, and 4) use this information to create recovery personas to improve service delivery and design more tailored programs and interventions.
