Lesson Resources
In Module 2 readers will learn that:
- Recovery-oriented counseling calls for counselors to possess certain competencies to work with clients effectively and empathetically.
- Counselors need to take into account a range of sociocultural considerations when assessing and working with clients in or seeking recovery, which requires cultural responsiveness and an awareness of treatment barriers and inequities stemming from sociocultural factors.
- A strengths-based approach is fundamental to recovery-oriented counseling, beginning with client intake and continuing throughout the duration of care.
- Recurrence of substance use happens, but recovery-oriented counseling can help clients avoid it or confidently return to recovery when it does occur.
- Counselor participation in recovery-oriented systems of care can benefit clients by promoting holistic, coordinated, and nonepisodic services.
- Depending on the setting, counselors providing or thinking of providing recovery-oriented counseling may need to consider the ways that payment systems can affect delivery of care.
- Counselors can use multiple evidence-based psychosocial interventions and frameworks to help clients achieve their recovery goals, including harm reduction, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, cognitive–behavioral therapy, contingency management, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychoeducation.
- Many psychosocial interventions and frameworks can be effectively combined to increase the odds of clients maintaining their recovery and preventing recurrence, regardless of their chosen recovery pathway.
