Which principle is described as focusing on what the person in recovery wants, desires, and can accomplish?

• A. What the provider imparts to the person.
• B. What the person in recovery wants, desires, and can accomplish.
• C. A one-size-fits-all plan.
• D. What the organization requires.

Answer: (B)

Centering the recovery journey on what the person in recovery wants, desires, and can accomplish uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach. In practice, you collaborate with the person to uncover their goals, what matters most to them, and what they realistically can achieve with their resources and supports. This focus builds motivation, engagement, and a sense of ownership, leading to a plan that truly fits their life and strengths. It respects autonomy and empowers the individual to steer their own recovery. Other approaches—imparting what the provider wants to give, applying a one-size-fits-all plan, or simply following organizational requirements—miss the person’s unique goals and can undermine relevance and motivation.
