My guest today is Donella Cecrle from The Purpose of Recovery. Purpose of recovery, which is currently located in Orange County, CA. that connect with local, state, and national recovery communities to support long term recovery.
There mission is to TO BRIDGE THE GAP, HIGHLIGHT SERVICES, AND CREATE A NETWORK OF RESOURCES FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO HEAL, STABILIZE, AND CREATE GROWTH IN RECOVERY. THERE IS A RECOVERY RALLY COMING UP ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2021
Periodically I come across people and organizations that strive to identify each person as an individual and see what they can do to help them even though it may not even fit within the realm of there goals. Thinking outside the box requires unique minds and I think today we are going to meet a representative from an organization that seeks to offer this assistance. The greatest failure in the treatment industry stems from the poor aftercare that is either provided and in many cases not provided at all. Clinicians fail their clients by not following our main goal of planning for their discharge the moment they walk in the doors. When discharge plans are done, most create a plan that has nothing to do with what the client actually plans on doing but instead what the program wants them to do. 90 meetings in 90 days, get a sponsor, go to this outpatient program. This plan created by the clinician and many times without the assistance of the client. They then meet with the client and tell them what they are going to do. The client then signs it just to get out the door with as little conflict as possible and has no intention on doing many of those things.
Just to be clear, this isn’t everybody across the board. There are great clinicians in the industry and the plan works for some. But what about those that it doesn’t Many programs will not learn from this because they identify the client as just not following the plan that was set. I have a hard time putting all the responsibility on the client since it is our job ethically to always look out for the best interest of the client. What does that mean? I have an answer which I will get to.
