Client Autonomy
Goals are recorded as client-defined. Practitioner-imposed goals should not be presented as client-defined content.

Progress Review
Goals remain available for later review as priorities, readiness, or context change.
Does the form require abstinence as the endpoint?
No. The form supports client-defined risk-reduction goals and does not impose a single abstinence endpoint.
Can a client decline to set a goal?
Yes. The state should reflect no goal set rather than forcing completion.
Does the tool rank goals clinically?
No. It organizes goals and review readiness; it does not automatically rank or prioritize goals.
