“…The fact that MEM 'cultural communities' may also hinder recovery has been documented previously (De Kock, 2020;Murphy, Sales, & Averill, 2015), as well as the stigma that surrounds problem substance use within communities and increases barriers towards substance use treatment (Ashford et al, 2019;Westermeyer, 1995). Some elements were mentioned as specifically helpful for initiating recovery, namely (reflecting on) harmful consequences of substance use and the experience of having children and motherhood (Cloud & Granfield, 2008;Tracy & Martin, 2007).…”

This systematic review of 15 qualitative studies explores recovery capital among migrants and ethnic minorities (MEM). The results of the framework analysis indicate that addressing barriers to recovery and (often minority-related) root causes of problem substance use is vital to recovery among MEM, as well as building recovery capital on personal, social and community level. The review unpacks the importance of 'cultural' and 'spiritual' elements of recovery capital both inside and outside treatment, the interconnectedness of the different dimensions of recovery capital, as well as their intertwinement with root causes of substance use and barriers to recovery. The results point out the importance of offering culturally and trauma-sensitive relational support and building recovery capital through recovery-oriented systems of care. Moreover, this study highlights the need for further research concerning recovery in MEM populations.
