What is a key outcome of involving families or supports in recovery planning?

• A. Increased client isolation.
• B. Strengthened accountability and improved adherence.
• C. Eliminates need for professional support.
• D. Reduces social capital.

Answer: (B)

Involving families or supports in recovery planning centers on using a person's social network to keep them engaged and responsible for the plan. When someone important to the client is included, there’s built-in accountability: regular check-ins, reminders, encouragement, and monitoring of tasks like attending appointments, taking medications, and practicing coping skills. This external support helps the client follow through more consistently, improving adherence to the plan and overall progress. The other options don’t fit because involving families tends to reduce isolation, not increase it; it complements professional services rather than replacing them; and it generally expands social capital rather than diminishing it.
