What is the overall purpose of assessing recovery capital in planning?

• A. To document therapy notes.
• B. To comply with financial audits.
• C. To identify resources across domains that support recovery and inform planning.
• D. To evaluate medication adherence.

Answer: (C)

Assessing recovery capital in planning focuses on mapping the resources a person can draw on to support recovery across different areas of life. This means looking at strengths and supports in domains like relationships, housing, finances, employment, health and social services, community connections, and personal meaning or purpose. By identifying what’s available, what’s missing, and what can be mobilized, a coach can tailor a plan that leverages strengths and connects the person with the supports they need. This purpose directly aligns with informing planning and guiding interventions, rather than just documenting notes, satisfying audits, or checking medication adherence.
