Assessment: Assessment activities within recovery management models are a continuous rather than an intake activity, are global rather than categorical, and integrate traditional “treatment plans” into a larger “recovery plan.” The high degree of individual variability in AOD problems, the changing status of these problems over time, unique patterns of problem co-occurrence, and concerns regarding the misapplication of recovery management approaches all require rigorous, ongoing and global assessment activities. Global assessment assumes that the germination and development of severe AOD problems spring from multiple elements of the personal, family and cultural ecosystem and that the resources needed to resolve these problems are located within these same arenas.

Recovery management models integrate the traditional medical model “treatment plan” with the “recovery plan” utilized within social model alcoholism treatment programs (Borkman, 1998b). In contrast to a treatment plan, the recovery plan: (1) is prepared and regularly updated by the client, (2) documents the goals and planned activities of the client, and (3) covers such life domains of the client as finances, social life, legal difficulties, education, employment, and spirituality (Borkman, 1998a). Recovery management models provide a structured and individualized transition between professionally-directed treatment planning and self-directed recovery planning.
