These services are designed to support the attainment of individual-defined goals as identified in the individuated Treatment Plan (e.g. stable living arrangements, quality relationships, employment, vocational training or school attendance.) All services will be provided within a Recovery-oriented system of care, which builds on the individual's strengths and incorporates community, natural systems, and clinical supports and services in the management of the individual's needs.
