Domain 2: Recovery Oriented Care is Timely and Responsive

Timely, uncomplicated access to care

Engagement: connecting with the person; not the diagnosis

Timeliness of services

Responsive to wants needs, preferences; including culturally responsive services

Provides continuity: It’s on-going

The Elements of Timely, Responsive Services

Agency/system level: Examples

Prevention efforts to help communities develop resources for healthy living

Early intervention with youth and young adults with early warning signs

Staff placed in strategic locations for outreach; swift access to services

Zero reject policies

Service hours and location based on individual needs and preferences

Continual efforts to engage those reluctant to enter recovery

Outcome tracking includes quality of life domains: housing, work, relationships

Agency/System level: continued

New technologies used to improve recovery outcomes

Enhanced access to housing, employment and other recovery supports

Stigma-busting community education!

Funding for pre-service, engagement activities

Practitioner/person in recovery

Ultimately the central concern of engagement is: – How do we nest the recovery process

within this person’s natural environment? – not how do we get this person into treatment…..

Practitioner/person in recovery

Progress through a services continuum is not required

Continuity means shifting services not programs

Recognize that, for many, an ongoing supportive relationship is the most essential aspect of healing/recovery
