Recovery Core Values First recommendation that
the Department of Mental Health and Addiction
Services change the name of the agency by 2005
to The Department of Mental Health and
Addiction Recovery Services
16
  • Recovery Basic Premises
  • All individuals are unique and have specific
    needs, goals, health attitudes and behaviors, and
    expectations for recovery
  •  Persons with mental illness, alcohol or drug
    addiction, or both, share some similarities,
    however, management of their own lives and
    mastery of their own futures will require
    different pathways at times
  • All persons shall be offered equal access to
    treatment and have the opportunity to participate
    in their recovery process
  • The funding agency shall support a recovery
    oriented system of care that requires their
    funded and/or operated treatment programs to
    treat individuals based on the following recovery
    based core values

17
  • Recovery Core Values
  • The treatment of an individual must be
    approached from a total recovery process starting
    from the acute phase to their return to the
    community.
  •  The entire treatment system must support the
    concept of Recovery, not just in word, but in
    action.
  • The system shall be driven by recovery-based
    outcomes that Persons in Recovery help to
    develop.
  • A new nomenclature that reflects recovery-based
    and person-first language (for example, Recovery
    Plans will replace Treatment Plans, etc.)
    shall be promoted and used.

18
  • Recovery Core Values
  • Persons in Recovery shall participate in all
    phases of the funding agencys Request for
    Proposal (RFP) process whenever the process is
    invoked.
  • There shall be a strong commitment to Peer
    Support and to having Recovery-Operated Services
    provided by recovering persons.
  • There shall be no wrong doors when entering into
    the treatment system.
  •  An individual may enter any appropriate level of
    care when needed not just at times of crisis.
  •  An individuals choice must be respected in
    matters related to his/her treatment.

19
  • Recovery Core Values
  • No Outcomes? No Income! Providers shall be
    reimbursed for services provided, outcomes met,
    and persons served.
  •  The treatment system shall be designed so as to
    allow the marketplace to bear on the provision of
    services. That is to say that Persons in Recovery
    can influence service delivery by selecting
    providers that are responsive to their specific
    needs.
  • Competition plus Checks and Balances plus
    Outcome Measurement equals an Enhanced
    Marketplace! should be a guide when funding
    treatment providers.

20
  • Recovery Core Values Impact on Stigma
  • A first step in reducing stigma is to start in
    our own back yard, our treatment system and
    recovery community.
  • Recovery Core Values can help reduce stigma
    related to clients by helping to reinforce that
  • The individual has to come first within the
    treatment process.
  • Programs look at the total needs of an
    individuals recovery not only while they are in a
    particular treatment modality.

21
  • Recovery Core Values
  • Impact on Stigma
  • Treatment should be a process that empowers
    clients
  • Client have input into the programs treatment
    process
  • There be active and relevant client advisory
    groups.
  • More qualified persons in recovery should be
    hired as councilors
  • Helps brings the Recovery perspective back to
    the Treatment System.
