The identified model for delivering recovery support services is “Planning for the Future” (PFF). This model examines participants’ lives across seven key domains:
- Substance Use
- Mental, Physical, and Emotional Health
- Legal
- Employment
- Education
- Family and Relationships
- Leisure
Utilizing this model enables a holistic approach to addressing participants’ challenges, strengths, dreams, and aspirations. These seven domains guide the development of a client-driven treatment plan, tailored to meet individual needs and goals.
Recovery Support Services (RSS) are integrated into the treatment environment by promoting comprehensive, integrated care throughout the organization. This approach emphasizes physical, mental, behavioral, and emotional health, allowing for a broad variety of services and diverse participant needs.
Since QBH is deeply committed to addressing co-occurring disorders, administrators, staff, and clients are highly receptive to incorporating Recovery Support Services. When the medical necessity for RSS is determined, the integrated treatment plan may include recommendations for multi-disciplinary treatment involving RSS.
Moreover, the integrated treatment plan is designed to incorporate person-centered services, ensuring optimal outcomes for participants.

The transition of services between levels of care will be identified and planned for in advance of the transfer. The Recovery Coach will conduct individual sessions using motivational interviewing and discharge planning to prepare the client for the next level of care.
When a client is receiving dual or multiple services, including Recovery Support Services (RSS), the RSS peer will help prepare the client for the transition and remain available for ongoing support as needed.
The treatment plan will outline the overall goals and objectives for which RSS was sought. It will also specify the efforts of each interdisciplinary team member involved in the client’s care.
Recovery Support Service (RSS) outcomes will be evaluated using three key measures:
- Abstinence, as evidenced by drug screening results.
- An 85% success rate of achieved interventions based on the “Planning for the Future” (PFF) model.
- Successful program completion, demonstrated by the resolution of all PFF-identified goals and proper discharge planning.
Quality Behavioral Health Inc. has access to the Recovery Training Institute, a certified provider of the Michigan Certification Board for Addiction Professionals. This ensures that all peer practitioners are eligible for certification as Peer Recovery Mentors.
Part-time employment or contractual agreements (minimum of 10 hours per week) for all peer providers will establish their eligibility for MDHHS certification.
Peer Recovery Coaches (PRC) team will adopt key components of the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program that has proved to be highly successful in mental health settings. The difference here is the teams will not be interdisciplinary like ACT programs and will consist of peer recovery coaches. Since recovery coaches are not clinicians so they will not deliver treatment services but instead will closely coordinate and work with the clinicians. The recovery services are based on the following:
A. People in recovery and their loved ones are involved in all aspects and phases of care delivery.
B. Recovery-oriented practitioners promote access to care by facilitating swift and uncomplicated entry and by removing barriers to care.
C. Treatment, rehabilitation, and support are offered through a carefully created system that ensures continuity of the person’s most significant healing relationships and supports over time and across episodes of care and agencies.
D. Using a strengths-based approach, QBH’s PRC team will balance critical needs that must be met with the resources and strengths that people possess.
E. All services are individualized, and recovery plan is developed with the person receiving the services and any others he or she identifies. The recovery plan includes the person’s hopes, assets, strengths, interests, and goals, and reflects a holistic understanding of behavioral health concerns, medical concerns, and the desire to build a meaningful life in the community.
F. The barriers in the community that create and perpetuate chronicity and dependency will be identified, and strategies to address these barriers will be provided.
The proposed team will provide recovery support services that will include the following:
1. Outreach
2. Employment services and job training
3. Relapse prevention
4. Housing assistance and related services
5. Child care referrals
6. Transportation to and from treatment, recovery support activities, employment, etc.
7. Family/marriage education
8. Peer-to-peer services, mentoring, and coaching
9. Self-help and support groups (e.g., 12-step groups, Women for Sobriety, etc.)
10. Life skills
11. Spiritual and faith-based support
12. Education
13. Parent education and child development support services
14. Substance abuse education.
15. Case management and individual services coordination, providing linkages with other services (e.g., legal services, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, social services, food stamps)
