Person-centered care helps everyone to focus on the results of care and has proven effective in meeting clinical and administrative requirements, increasing staff satisfaction and creativity and instilling hope in consumers and family members. In short, this approach is good for the clinical and operational bottom line of your organization.
In Treatment Planning for Person-Centered Care: The Road to Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, authors Neal Adams, M.D., M.P.H., and Diane Grieder, M.Ed., cogently describe and advocate for an alternative perspective: a recovery-based model with the treatment plan serving as a working and dynamic road map to help clients achieve personally meaningful goals.
There is perhaps no more powerful and effective approach to ensuring recovery-oriented services than a commitment to creating and actually using person-centered treatment plans in everyday practice.
