title: A model of recovery from substance abuse and dependence for Korean adolescents.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  There is a need for a model that illuminates the recovery process from substance abuse and dependence for Korean adolescents, identifies the stages and strategies of recovery, and directs interventions to specific stages.
  
  
  METHODS
  The model was developed from content analysis focused on the experiences during the recovery process of 8 Korean adolescents with substance abuse and dependence.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The stages in recovery include retracing, accepting, surrendering, and turning to change. The strategies of recovery involve a variety of activities and multidimensional domains. The model integrates the stages and strategies of recovery, and suggests nursing interventions to promote recovery of adolescents with a substance-related disorder.
