Although we do one time assessments our philosophy is that an assessment is only current on the day of the assessment. We continue to assess our clients while engaged with us and change Recovery Plans according to the needs of our clients. We make referrals as needed so our clients have the best chances for continued recovery.
Recovery Plans include goals and purposeful plans of action designed to achieve them. Our Recovery Care Specialists work closely with clients to develop their Plans and help ensure that pursuits are fueled by healthy motivation and built upon firm, well thought out, foundations. They hold clients accountable for following through with their plans by following up with them individually and in facilitated peer support groups.
