What does the Treatment Planning function in the 12 Core Functions aim to achieve?

The Treatment Planning function within the 12 Core Functions aims to create a structured approach specifically tailored to the client's needs. This is fundamental in effectively addressing the unique challenges and circumstances that each individual may face in their treatment journey. By developing a personalized treatment plan, professionals can strategically outline goals, objectives, and interventions that align with the client's specific situation, preferences, and aspirations for recovery.

Creating a tailored approach not only enhances engagement and motivation for the client but also increases the likelihood of successful outcomes. It ensures that the treatment provided is relevant and effective, incorporating evidence-based practices that resonate with the individual's personal context and goals. This focus on customization is crucial in the therapeutic process, as it fosters a sense of ownership and collaboration between the client and the provider.

While establishing a client’s ongoing support system, screening for co-occurring disorders, and assessing group therapy members are all important aspects of the broader treatment process, they do not specifically capture the primary aim of the Treatment Planning function. The focus here is on developing a coherent and specific plan that addresses the individual's needs in a structured manner, facilitating a pathway for recovery that is directly aligned with their unique circumstances and goals.
