In this phase, client’s develop an individual action plan with specific steps which will lead them in the direction of achieving their defined goals. This plan is in alignment with their overall treatment plan, and can adjust as their treatment plan changes. This phase may include applying to school, resume development, interview skills training, mock interviews, researching appropriate jobs, and completing job applications. For clients in early recovery, and under the advisement of their treatment team, it may be more appropriate to begin with seeking out what is known as a “sober job” or volunteer work, which may be less stressful and therefore more suited to the early months of recovery.
