Developing a Treatment Plan for Recovery Success

Drug and alcohol addiction changes many facets of a person’s life. That’s why treatment needs to embrace a wide range of needs to create a clear path forward. Most people work closely with their addiction counselors and therapists to develop a treatment plan. That plan outlines the type of care needed and sets some initial goals for recovery. At Red Oak Recovery®, we work with you every step of the way to create a recovery plan that allows you to enjoy the quality of life you desire. To learn more about what could go into your treatment plan, please reach out to Red Oak Recovery® today at 866.457.7590.

What Goes Into a Treatment Plan?

After a full assessment and evaluation, a team works together to create a treatment plan for each person in addiction treatment. This plan is like a roadmap that allows people to set realistic expectations based on their specific goals and needs. It also establishes guidelines that the person can use to track a person’s progress through treatment. It’s a critical component of overall care because of how impactful addiction can be to various facets of a person’s life.

There are numerous components of a treatment plan, including:

  • A summary of a person’s substance use patterns and medical history, often including any known mental health conditions
  • A list of problems, which become the target for treatment, and a summary of the symptoms that demonstrate these problems
  • Goals to reduce poor behavior and those related to specific achievements a person is aiming for during a specific timeframe
  • Objectives of treatment, which may change over time, will include the detailed steps, how to measure those accomplishments, and setting a timeline for completing them
  • Interventions, or the type of therapies that we will use to help a person achieve their objectives
  • Evaluation and tracking progress, often in a chart-like format, to help a person see their improvements
  • Long-term care planning, including the use of aftercare services

Addiction treatment is not a simplistic process that includes working through these step-by-step. Instead, there may be revisions to any treatment plan component over time as conditions and needs change.

Why a Treatment Plan Is So Important to Addiction Recovery

Addiction treatment is a process. Without a plan, there may be a lack of focus on critical areas. When there is a plan like this in place, everyone remains on the same page. Therapists and doctors are working towards the same desired goals. Additionally, the person receiving the care knows what their goals and objectives are. This creates a path to focus on, one step at a time towards achieving long-lasting recovery.
