Workshop Description

The current standards of care for addiction treatment in New York State include promoting individual choice and person centered care. Person Centered Care is an evidence-based, strength-based and non-punitive treatment modality that includes developing treatment goals using the individual’s language that reflects shared decision making and informed choice and may include reducing or minimizing risk of use. This workshop will provide participants with the guiding principals of person centered care, with examples of how to put this into practice. Specifically, participants will be given guidance on identifying treatment goals that are based on client needs, as well as information on shared decision making and informed choice.

  • Identify treatment goals with the client that are based on the individual need of the client;
