Current And Prior Plans
Reviewed plans can be retained as dated current or prior plans so updates are clear over time.
Scope
The tool remains a relapse prevention plan and does not expand into a generic safety plan, symptom tracker, or crisis workflow unless those exact elements are entered by the client and practitioner.
Does the plan predict relapse?
No. It organizes warning signs, risks, responses, and supports; it does not calculate relapse probability.
Can a partial plan be saved?
Yes. Partial entries are preserved as a draft and visibly marked incomplete until reviewed.
Who finalizes the plan?
The practitioner reviews the client draft with the client and can mark the plan as reviewed and current.
