SSPR: Wey of Life - Individual Peer Recovery Support Services Agreement
Please review this document and acknowledge your willingness to engage in the Wey of Life Individual Peer Recovery Support Services program (Individual RSS) and work with a Wey of Life Peer Recovery Support Specialist.
By entering this relationship, you acknowledge that you want to make progress and change in your recovery journey. Because progress and change happen at different rates, the PRSS and participant commit to working with each other for an initial three month period although additional sessions are encouraged. This program consists of regularly scheduled weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly engagements. After six months of engagement, sessions will step down in frequency moving from weekly towards monthly. Exceptions may apply.
Here is what you can expect from me, your Wey of Life Peer Recovery Support Specialist:
1. I will support you and help you to establish a plan for life in recovery.
2. I will help you to connect with people, services, and communities that can help you succeed in and enjoy your recovery.
3. The centerpiece of our relationship is a constantly developing Recovery Plan. Our conversations will focus on goal setting, problem-solving, and celebrating all positive changes. As your recovery is unique to you and belongs to you, your recovery planning will be unique and driven by you.
4. I will keep my relationship with you confidential, but I will acknowledge your participation in this program if you request that I do so in writing.
5. I will not provide an evaluation of anyone’s recovery or report on anyone’s use of substances. We only acknowledge the period of time someone has participated in this program, the regularity of their engagements, and acknowledge a person’s commitment to working on a personal recovery process.
6. Depending on your individual circumstances and wishes, I may provide general information about your recovery progress and / or challenges to your service providers, and / or caretakers.
7. I am legally and ethically obligated to report any participant’s disclosure of personal involvement with child or elder abuse/neglect, threatened self-harm, or harm to others.
8. I do not provide clinical assessments, recommend any particular level or type of care, provide clinical treatment services, maintain clinical records, or dispense medications.
Here is what I expect from you:
1. Your recovery is your responsibility. Any decisions you make after considering your options in the recovery coaching process are your decisions and your responsibility.
2. You understand and agree that you will not seek to hold me or SSPR and any of SSPR’s agents legally responsible for your decisions or actions.
3. You will make every effort to ensure you are at your peak, mental, physical, and emotional state for each session, understanding that you cannot be under the influence while at the Recovery Center.
4. Please keep appointments we make together and be on time. If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, please contact me as soon as possible.
5. You can contact the team member who signs this packet with any questions or concerns you have about your experience with the program or if you feel you might benefit from having a different peer specialist.
Together, we will explore what you can do to meet your recovery-oriented goals. We will support you in taking action and making your recovery successful.
