What are SAMHSA's four major dimensions of recovery?

• A. Health, Home, Purpose and Community
• B. Health, Home, Treatment and Case Management
• C. Community, Purpose, Case Management and Care
• D. Care, Health, Home and Community

Answer: (A)

SAMHSA frames recovery as a holistic process that spans four interconnected dimensions: Health, Home, Purpose, and Community. Health focuses on physical and mental well-being, managing symptoms, and engaging in care and healthy behaviors to support overall wellness. Home emphasizes having a stable, safe place to live and the supports needed to maintain that stability, which underpins daily functioning and security. Purpose centers on meaningful daily activities—such as work, education, volunteering, or other productive roles—that give direction, autonomy, and a sense of contribution. Community involves positive relationships, social connections, belonging, and engagement with others and the broader community for support and inclusion. The correct option lists these four dimensions exactly, while other choices mix in elements like treatment or case management, which are important supports but are not the four SAMHSA dimensions themselves.
