Handbook of Recovery in Inpatient Psychiatry

Abstract

Treatment planning has a long and varied history, but it has been rooted mainly in a medical model of care in which the primary focus has been on symptom alleviation. In the recovery model of care, the focus is on supporting the individual to not only survive but also thrive even in the presence of mental illness. For this to happen in an inpatient setting requires a mind shift by the individual’s treatment team—often called the recovery planning team (RPT)—from a medical model to a recovery model of care. In this chapter, we present an example of recovery-oriented treatment planning that has been used successfully in state psychiatric facilities to enhance the quality of life of individuals with serious mental illness, including those with forensic involvement. In broad strokes, the chapter focuses on the mechanics of recovery planning for individuals with a length of stay in an inpatient facility that extends beyond acute care, which aims at psychiatric stabilization before discharge within a few days, typically within two weeks of admission. It provides a recovery-planning template that can be adapted for use in inpatient psychiatric facilities.
