To use Recovery Skill Builder, select one of the profiles. You will be able to read the profile on the left side of the screen while you answer questions displayed on the right side of the screen. You will be given multiple answers to choose from; however, there is only one correct answer. Based on the profile and your knowledge of person-centered practices, medical necessity and stages of change, choose the best answer for each question. Optimal learning will take place as you move back and forth to review the explanations for each answer. When you complete a profile, simply go back to the top and click on “Recovery Plans” and chose another profile to complete.

An individual plan has been compared to a road map that displays the path or direction of the journey for each individual and family. The individual plan should be a practical, understandable tool that the individual and provider can utilize together to steer the course in the journey of recovery.

In order to be meaningful and effective, a plan must be the individual’s road map which includes personally defined goals, realistic objectives that address relevant and immediate barriers and interventions consistent with the individual’s preferences and values. Ultimately, the plan is a communication tool for the provider, for the individual/family/others involved in the individual’s life, for payers and for accreditation and regulatory reviewers.
