Collaborative Use

This plan is designed for practitioner and client completion together, especially when the client needs a reachable route to outside recovery help.

Incomplete Plans

If no source of help is identified, the plan can remain incomplete or capture a clear next step for finding one.

Follow-Up

Later updates can describe attempted contact, barriers, or needed adjustments without scoring adherence or commitment.

Is this a broad recovery plan?

No. It is limited to help-seeking actions that connect recovery need to outside people, groups, or supports.

Can the plan be complete without a named support person?

Yes, if it includes a clear next step toward finding outside recovery help. Without a source or next step, it remains incomplete.

Does the tool recommend specific recovery supports?

No. The tool organizes the pathway the practitioner and client create; it does not prescribe supports or automate recommendations.
