9 Life Domains for Strengths and Goals
~ 1. Life Skills
~ 2. Finance
~ 3. Leisure
~ 4. Relationships
~ 5. Living Arrangements
~ 6. Occupation/Education
~ 7. Health
~ 8. Internal Resources
~ 9. Recovery
Client Responsibility for Recovery
~ When people take responsibility for their own recovery, they feel a greater sense of investment in the outcome.
~ An urge to go back to self-destructive behavior looks less like rebellion or resistance, and more like a threat to their own interests.
~ As the ability to take responsibility is exercised and strengthened, a sense of confidence and self-esteem grows.
~ The focus on the client’s own strengths and resources helps people become empowered and feel confident in their ability to succeed in recovery
~ The strong sense of collaboration and partnership in the treatment process creates a more active partnership role
Benefits
~ Finding resources within the family, culture, and community helps develop supportive relationships and provides a broad base of ongoing resources that the client can use beyond the treatment setting.
~ Clients learn more about themselves and their goals as they try out their plans in real life and reflect on their results in treatment sessions
~ Clients learn and practice goal-setting and solution-building skills that they can use throughout their lives.
~ Each revision of their goals and plans carries clients farther in the recovery process
Client Directed Goal Setting
~ Strength-based providers become teachers, coaches, and resources to their clients, as clients learn to:
~ Set their own goals, including treatment goals
~ Make plans to meet their goals, using the strengths that they continue to identify
~ Try out their goals and plans and report on the results
~ Revise their goals and plans as they gain more information and experience
Client Directed Goal Setting
~ As the goals are defined, providers also help people identify:
~ Small, manageable steps toward those goals
~ Concrete actions they can take
~ Resources they can call on to complete these tasks
~ Strengths within themselves that will help them reach their goals
~ Paradigm shift from
~ Pointing out the problems to eliminate
~ Developing treatment goals for their clients, or directing clients in the goal-setting process
~ Focusing on complete abstinence as the only legitimate treatment goal
Focus on Client Strengths and Resources
~ A number of techniques help in the strength-finding process, including:
