A thorough assessment is critical to understanding the client’s needs, strengths, and challenges, forming the foundation of an effective treatment plan.
SMART goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, making progress more trackable and achievable.
Involving the client fosters a sense of ownership and increases the likelihood of adherence to the treatment plan.
Short-term goals focus on immediate, incremental steps toward recovery, such as reducing use within a short time frame.
Integrated treatment plans address both substance use and mental health disorders simultaneously, improving outcomes.
