Learn how to use social model recovery principles to maximize the beneficial aspects of recovery environments. You examine specific strategies for management and operations of recovery programs and for addressing client/resident issues and situations that commonly occur. You also learn to apply a social model as a conceptual framework and guide for management and operations to: 1) house/program meetings, 2) enforcement of program rules, 3) admitting new clients/residents, 4) discharge for noncompliance, and 5) management of relationships with neighbors, such as NIMBY issues. In terms of specific resident and client issues, you discuss the application of social model to address: 1) personal crises (e.g., loss of a job, death in the family, intimate partner breakup, etc.), 2) relapse, 3) management of psychiatric symptoms, and 4) conflicts between residents/clients. An important overarching goal of the workshop is to specify how to put core social model concepts, such as peer support and peer empowerment, into practice to address these and a variety of other issues that recovery programs face.
