When It Is Used

Use it early in alcohol recovery when ambivalence about loss of control, recovery need, or outside help is clinically important to discuss.

What It Does Not Do

The worksheet does not collect alcohol-use quantities, diagnostic scores, risk ratings, readiness scores, meeting attendance, or sponsor information. It does not label the client's acceptance level.

Repeat Use

Repeated worksheet instances can be reviewed chronologically to compare reported acceptance themes over time without calculating change scores.

Does the Acceptance Worksheet score acceptance?

No. The worksheet displays client-reported acceptance and ambivalence material without an acceptance score, readiness stage, or automated conclusion.

Can clients save partial responses?

Yes. Partial responses are preserved as drafts and shown as incomplete until submitted.

Are exact worksheet prompts included in the demo?

No. The product specification does not define exact prompts or fields, so the demo represents the real flow without inventing worksheet wording.

What gets saved to my account?

The fixed Acceptance Worksheet tool is saved. Fictional demo responses and sample assignment data are not saved as real client data.
