Why the First Case Management Session is Important


Why the First Case Management Session is Important

When clients first enter into treatment at Reviving You Recovery, it is important the treatment team understands their history, what their needs are, and where they are in the healing process. Therefore, upon admission, residents attend the first case management session that sets the tone for their treatment. The specifics of this meeting are unique to each client, their history, and their needs. However, this meeting helps both clients and providers to be on the same page. While clients often feel awful when entering treatment, the first case management session helps them to feel connected with providers and understand the steps necessary to heal. 

The First Case Management Session

Case management is a collaborative process that ensures that a client gets treatment that is effective and individualized to meet their needs. In treatment addiction, case management sessions help clients feel like they are supported in their treatment.

They provide providers with important information on where the client is at and how to best help them to heal. In the first case management session, many aspects of a client’s life are discussed. This includes their mindset, motivation, and specifics of their home life. 

Mindset

When a client is struggling with addiction, they are often in a headspace that is difficult to connect with. However, when a provider or case manager understands their mindset, it can help. A person’s mindset is the attitude that they hold. In terms of addiction, mindset often includes a person’s beliefs about why they have and do struggle with substance abuse. However, it also includes their understanding of where they are in the healing process and what they need. Mindset is often an indicator of where a person is at in the process of managing substance use and healing from addiction. In the first case management session, the case manager at Reviving You Recovery has an opportunity to gain clarity on how a client sees themselves and their struggles with addiction. 

Motivation to Change

Making changes in life is challenging. Individuals go through many phases of change, including thinking about change and taking strides to do something different. In treatment for addiction, change is inevitable, and it is important that clients are motivated. Entering a treatment facility is a big step. It is a sign that a client is motivated to make changes in their lives. They have moved past contemplation and are ready to move forward. However, motivation is complex. In the first case management session, staff at Reviving You Recovery learn about what is motivating the individual client. This helps the staff to understand this motivation and build treatment around their unique drive. It also helps clarify to the client why they are in treatment. 

Home Life

A client’s home life is a big insight into a person and what they are struggling with. Information about a person’s home life includes finances and relationships with loved ones. There are a variety of details about home life that relate to addiction. In the first case management session, clients have an opportunity to open up about some of these, which gives the staff details about who a person is. This includes staff learning how they can best support them in building skills to manage their sobriety after treatment. 

Setting the Tone With a Case Management Session

Detox and treatment for addiction at Reviving You Recovery is unique. It provides connection and support from the first step. After a client is admitted, they have a case management session that helps them to connect with their providers. This session also provides them with information that helps fill in the road map for a person’s treatment journey.

Connection With Providers

When a client is struggling with addiction, they often feel unwell. While most clients know that they need help, entering into treatment can feel uncomfortable and lonely. However, at Reviving You Recovery, clients connect with providers from the start of their journey. In the first case management session, clients not only get a chance to share information with their providers, but they also build a connection. This connection lasts throughout their treatment at Reviving You Recovery, giving clients a touch point when they run into challenges. 

Providing Information for a Road Map of Treatment

The first case management session is essential for clients as it helps them to connect with their providers, which makes taking the first step of treatment the most comfortable. However, it is also essential as it sets the tone of treatment by providing information that creates the best roadmap possible for treatment. This is due to the case manager having an opportunity to assess where the client is at. Including what their experiences have been and what treatments are most likely to help a client heal.
