ADAPT: Awareness Directed Activities for Personal Transformation

Mission: 'To create an environment that fosters hope and empowers people to enhance their personal recovery journey.'

Philosophy of the Program:

• ADAPT's person-centered care is based on the belief that people can and do recover from mental illness.
• The goal of care is to partner with people in making choices that lead to recovery.
• The individual directs every aspect of their care.
• ADAPT is an 'oasis' where individuals can find support, recovery education and skills, symptom relief and hope for their future.
• The individual works together with a team of peers and professionals and personal support people to plan participation in the critical activities.
• Families are an integral part of care if the person desires their participation.
•  An important part of the recovery process has to do with making effective choices.
• Individuals are coached to evaluate their choices by deciding if choices take them closer to or further from their recovery goals.
• All ADAPT activities and discussions are guided by the 10 Fundamental Components of Recovery presented in the National Consensus Statement on Mental Health Recovery Pillars (Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration).
• In ADAPT the 10 Fundamental Components of Recovery are referred to as the 10 Pillars of Recovery.
• The 10 Pillars of Recovery in ADAPT are:
  • Hope
  • Self-Direction
  • Individualized and Person-Centered Care
  • Empowerment
  • Holistic Approach
  • Non-Linear Process
  • Strengths-Based
  • Peer support
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
• Clark County has identified resiliancy as an additional component of recovery which is addressed in ADAPT.
