SAMHSA recognizes peer recovery support services — provided by individuals with lived experience — as an evidence-based recovery support service that enhances long-term outcomes.
Question 2: A CAP counselor conducting a comprehensive assessment should gather information about all of the following EXCEPT:
- Housing stability
- Employment history
- The client's attorney's contact details (Correct answer)
- Family and social support
Correct answer: The client's attorney's contact details
While housing, employment, and social support are all relevant to a biopsychosocial assessment, an attorney's contact details are not a standard component of a clinical assessment.

- Outpatient, intensive outpatient, residential, detoxification
- Detoxification, residential, intensive outpatient, outpatient (Correct answer)
- Outpatient, residential, detoxification, intensive outpatient
- Residential, outpatient, detoxification, intensive outpatient
Correct answer: Detoxification, residential, intensive outpatient, outpatient
The standard continuum of care moves from most intensive (detoxification) through residential treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient as the client stabilizes.
Question 4: Discharge planning should begin:
- On the last day of treatment
- Only when the client requests it
- At the time of admission (Correct answer)

Correct answer: Recovery is a long-term process requiring ongoing community support
ROSC recognizes recovery as a long-term, individualized process supported by a network of clinical, community, and peer-based services rather than a single treatment episode.
Question 6: Cultural competence in case management means:
- Applying the same treatment approach to all clients regardless of background
- Recognizing and respecting the cultural beliefs, values, and practices that influence a client's recovery (Correct answer)
- Avoiding discussion of cultural differences to prevent bias
- Referring all clients from minority groups to culturally specific programs only
Correct answer: Recognizing and respecting the cultural beliefs, values, and practices that influence a client's recovery
Cultural competence requires clinicians to recognize, respect, and integrate a client's cultural background, values, and beliefs into their individualized treatment and case management approach.
