Your treatment plan (sometimes called individualized service plan, or ISP) is an important part of your direction for recovery. Your case manager or other provider helps you determine and document goals, usually on an agency form, but this is your roadmap. It is done for your benefit, not theirs.
Some tips for active participation:
|
Ask that you be told in advance of treatment planning so that you have an opportunity to think about your goals. |
|
Insist that your goals, your life, your future are reflected. You don’t have to sign off on anything you don’t agree with. |
|
Ask for a copy of your treatment plan. You can’t work on goals if you don’t know what they are. |
Treatment planning is a dynamic process. As goals are achieved, new goals are set. You can expect to review your treatment plan every three months.
Your treatment plan should address mental health and physical health, social needs and economic needs. How is your connection with the agency going to help further these goals? What can you do to further these goals?
