Helping patients experience joy in recovery can help build new, functional pathways in the reward circuit. It really may be as simple as it sounds. Modern addictions with super drugs and combination addictions can lead to many refractory cases. Pharmacological interventions in some cases have limited efficacy. New understanding of the neurobiology of addiction and recovery has opened a new window to a simple psychosocial intervention which can help rewire the dysfunctional reward circuits and enhance recovery. When patients experience joy in recovery, this will encourage endogenous dopamine release which can build new functional neurologic pathways to compete with the addictive pathways. Following “recovery capital” during patient interactions can facilitate this process. Helping patients find new ways to experience joy in recovery is a simple metric that can be added to any treatment plan and easily integrated into everyday practice.
