Identify SAMHSA's Guiding Principles of Recovery

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) outlines ten guiding principles of recovery: Hope, Person-Driven, Many Pathways, Holistic, Peer Support, Relational, Culture, Addresses Trauma, Strengths/Responsibility, and Respect.

Evaluate the given options against SAMHSA's principles

• Holistic: This is a recognized SAMHSA principle (recovery encompasses an individual's whole life).
• Strengths and Responsibilities: This is a recognized SAMHSA principle (utilizing strengths and resources).
• Person Driven: This is a recognized SAMHSA principle (self-determination and self-direction).
• Insight: SAMHSA's recovery model does not define recovery as accepting mental illness as a biological brain disorder or agreeing to follow through on clinical treatment decisions. This clinical/medical model definition is not one of SAMHSA's guiding principles of recovery.

Answer:

• Holistic - Recovery encompasses an individual's whole life, including mind, body, spirit and community
• Strengths and Responsibilities - utilizing their strengths and resources so individuals are supported in speaking for themselves
• Person Driven - An individual defines their own life goals and designs their own path towards reaching those goals
• Insight - An individual has come to accept mental illness as a biological brain disorder and agrees to follow through on treatment decisions. (Correct answer)
