5、s New Working Definition of RecoveryA1B.Domain Self-Assessment ChecklistsB1C.Moving to a Strength-Based Approach to CareC1ForewordThis is an exciting and challenging time of “shift” when it comes to both national and state service delivery systems. In both substance abuse and mental health services,

6、 there is a call for recovery-oriented systems, highlighting a new emphasis on recovery. In Maine, this shift will be more than simply using different words to define what we do. A call for true Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care is a call to a new way of understanding and conducting how we work.The

7、term Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) reflects how services are both devised and implemented to promote long-term recovery, while including recovering individuals at the center of the planning process. This inclusion goes beyond the individual treatment plans we write, relying on recovering

8、people to be system-change advisors, planners, and service-delivery specialists. The mental health field has a long history of including consumers as stakeholders and advisors in various ways; the spirit and intent of ROSC is to place a new emphasis on recovery - and the individuals in recovery - as

9、 its central tenet. The recovery process becomes the goal, rather than a focus on service delivery, with the personal healing process determined by the individuals choices.The paradigm shift entailed by ROSC is a belief that recovery is not only possible, but an expectation. “Hope” becomes “reality,

10、” strengthening the belief everyone holds that healing occurs. Our current service-delivery systems are geared toward meeting, and intervening with, symptoms of illness, whereas “recovery management” is the center of ROSC implementation. This perspective points to recovery as a long-term process wit

11、h its own stages and support needs.Historically, our systems have had great difficulty defining recovery, partly because recovery is neither about systems nor service delivery. Recovery is the personal life-change process a person chooses to begin to heal whatever ails him or her. It could be a brok

12、en hip or leg, an addiction, or a mental health condition requiring focused self-care and assistance from others. Recovery is about getting better, improving what is broken, and enhancing the quality of ones life. The recovery process is filled with hope, expectation, and real fulfillment, as well a

13、s courage, commitment, and dedicated effort. As service planners and administrators, we must respect that we do not undertake the hard work of recovery but we can uphold this vision and create the environment that supports these personal journeys. We need also serve as witnesses to the presence of r

14、ecovery in the lives of those we support and to offer positive reminders for those who grow weary at moments, whether theyre colleagues, providers, or service participants. The process of recovery can be mundane and tedious, fierce, scary, and sometimes interrupted. Our ability to hold onto the visi

15、on of recovery through all of these landscapes helps others to actualize this daily experience in their own lives. Guy R. CousinsActing Director of Adult Mental Health ServicesDirector, Office of Substance AbuseExecutive SummaryMaine is undertaking a major effort to transform the public mental healt

16、h system to one that is fully recovery oriented. This is a systematic initiative targeting the statewide system of care as a whole, rather than creating a few new recovery programs or adding a few new recovery elements like peer supports onto the existing system. Instead of treating and/or rehabilit

17、ating people, the systems primary responsibility is the support of people in their own efforts to manage and overcome mental health conditions as they rebuild their lives. The responsibility and source of recovery shifts from the expertise of the provider to the efforts and expertise of the person.

18、These practice guidelines represent a systematic effort to bring recovery into the everyday practice of mental health practitioners in Maine. They are organized into five domains, based on the feedback from the many stakeholders, particularly the Consumer Council System of Maine. These domains are:

19、Recovery-Oriented Care Is Consumer Driven Recovery-Oriented Care Maximizes the Use of Natural Supports and Settings Recovery-Oriented Care Is Person Centered Recovery-Oriented Care Is Timely, Responsive, and Trustworthy Recovery-Oriented Care Is Effective, Equitable, and EfficientFollowing the domai

20、ns, there are self-assessment checklists, plus a table for providers for moving to a strength-based approach to care.Defining Our TermsIn this document, OAMHS offers the following two definitions to distinguish between the process of recovery and the provision of recovery-oriented care by service pr

21、oviders.Recovery is: A journey of healing and transformation that enables a person to live a meaningful, satisfying, and contributing life in a community of his or her choice. Recovery is an individual process, a way of life, an attitude, and a way of approaching lifes challenges. The need is to mee

22、t the challenges of ones life and find purpose within and beyond the limits of the illness while holding a positive sense of identity.Recovery-oriented care is: The treatment and rehabilitation that practitioners offer in support of the persons own recovery journey.(Note: The federal Substance Abuse

23、 and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the public health agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, has developed a new definition of recovery and recovery-oriented care. This definition was finalized after stakeholder input was gathered for Maines working definition. P

24、lease see Appendix A, page 1, for this definition.)IntroductionHow do people recover? And what can a mental health service system do to promote and support recovery? These questions have been the focus of considerable discussion within the mental health community, with consumers and consumer organiz

25、ations holding strong to the belief that recovery is possible for all individuals.The vision of recovery put forth by individuals with lived experiences goes far beyond the notion of maintenance, stability, and treatment. Rather, it highlights the things that comprise a good life for all of us, incl

26、uding social connectedness, housing, education, jobs, and full participation in the community of ones choice.But how do you go beyond “feel-good” language to real-world policies, experiences, and a system of care that positively impacts a persons life? In the Acknowledgements, we thank the State of

27、Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services for sharing its guidelines. Other states have also taken the lead in developing procedures to transform policy, services, and systems. The Office of Adult Mental Health Services (OAMHS) wanted to know: Why cant we create something like t

28、his in Maine? The answer, of course, is that we can. We started with a top-to-bottom look at current policies and how we do business. We then devised guidelines for improving our system of care and for leveraging programs, resources, and ideas to create the most favorable outcomes for individuals, f

29、amilies, and communities. Through focus groups, webinars, and surveys, we received input and feedback from stakeholders that we then incorporated into the guidelines. Using the GuidelinesThese practice guidelines are organized into five domains and are a way to assess how each organization, public (

30、yes, that means OAMHS too) and private, implements recovery-oriented practices and continually improves a recovery-oriented system of care. At the end of the guidelines, youll find helpful self-assessment checklists for each domain, plus a table for providers for moving to a strength-based approach

31、to care.This document is a blueprint and a tool for helping people move forward in their lives. It is also a working document that will be updated and revised as we learn what works and what doesnt work with recovery-oriented care. As the movement to a recovery-oriented system of care solidifies and

32、 as new information and findings become available, the guidelines will be adjusted and amended. In truth, all of us - stakeholders, providers, and policymakers - are learning as we go along. Our hope is that this resource guide reflects our true values and core beliefs and helps to strengthen recove

33、ry-oriented care in Maine.Practice Guideline Domains Domain One:Recovery-Oriented Care Is Consumer DrivenA key component of recovery-oriented care is the importance it places on the participation of people in recovery in all aspects of the care-delivery process. “Consumer driven” refers to the invol

34、vement and meaningful input of persons in recovery in the process of designing, monitoring, and changing systems of care. This involvement starts with the initial stages of identifying questions or issues to be addressed and carries through to every part of the planning of strategies and policies th

35、at affect the lives of individuals living with mental health issues. The motto “Nothing About Us Without Us,” used by the disability-rights movement for years to call for full participation and equalization of opportunities for, by, and with persons with disabilities, is a rallying cry for mental he

36、alth consumers claiming their rightful role.Individuals know intimately through their own experience the results of service design, access to care, and coordination of services. This knowledge is invaluable to a system of recovery-oriented mental health care and support. For a mental health system t

37、o be consumer driven, it is essential that there is recognition of the many ways individuals give voice to their thoughts, ideas, and opinionsfrom participation in surveys and outcome tools to involvement in committees. The input from all these sources must be a part of system planning, implementati

38、on, and evaluation.“Consumer driven” also refers to the way in which care as a whole system is reformed and is different from person-centered care. Person-centered care happens at the individual level with a persons own unique needs, values, and preferences. It is consumer-driven, system-level chang

39、es that help insure the right types of services and supports are available to be built into an individuals own support or recovery plan. Domain Two:Recovery-Oriented Care Maximizes the Use of Natural Supports and SettingsAn individuals well-being and recovery is greatly supported by opportunities to

40、 be present in a community and to participate as a community member.Participation in meaningful activity and having an opportunity to contribute to the broader community are both cornerstones of recovery. The forms of participation can vary considerably, depending on interests, talents, and disabili

41、ty. However, many individuals identify employment as the single most critical ingredient in their recovery and their sense of belonging. Giving back to ones community, whether through employment or some other form of productive activity, is both a right and a responsibility of citizenship. All indiv

42、iduals, no matter what level of disability, are capable of such meaningful, productive activity. A recovery-oriented system of mental health care must communicate the belief that people with serious behavioral health conditions can, and should, be productive members of society.In a recovery-oriented

43、 system, promoting employment and career development must be a part of everyones job and should begin with the individuals first contact with the public mental health system. Upon intake, all persons should receive information regarding the benefits of employment and be directed to local employment

44、and education resources. All information routinely distributed by OAMHS should highlight employment and educational benefits and opportunities.All services in a recovery-oriented system of care must respect the individuals right to self-determination. Consistent with this orientation, people should

45、have the right to choose and change employment based on their self-defined interests and values.Another major route to creating a well-rounded life is understanding a persons local community, including its opportunities, resources, and barriers, and using that knowledge to inform effective recovery

46、planning. Knowledge of community resources is required to support the individuals recovery and to avoid duplication of services already available. It can be as simple as obtaining a gym membership instead of creating an exercise program within the mental health agency. This domain also addresses hel

47、ping to open doors into communities for people who have often been labeled and experienced stigma and isolation instead of connection. An additional route is through natural peer support. Recipients of mental health care have often described their relationships with other peers, particularly in hosp

48、ital settings, as the key to hope, survival, and recovery. Sharing common experiences brings people together, creating meaningful lives. Engaging in naturalized relationships, peers frequently see what they have to offer and connect with each other in a way to more fully join the community at large.Domain Three:Recovery-Oriented Care Is Person CenteredWhile consumer-driven, recovery-oriented care focuses on the assessment and change of the whole system of care, person-c
