Vantage Health System is committed to a treatment philosophy of recovery and wellness. In contrast to the traditional medical model based on the treatment of illness, a recovery model is based on the goals, preferences, interests and strengths of the individual. Recovery is defined as the personal process of overcoming the negative impact of a mental illness, despite its continued presence. Individuals who are in recovery from mental illness move from a state of dependency to inter dependency, and live from a perspective of hope. The recovery process is determined by the client, and the clinician serves as a coach/consultant to the client. With the client’s input, the clinician and client work collaboratively to develop a recovery plan. Focus is on the client’s strengths, on the interventions which will facilitate his/her recovery, and on the resources which will support the recovery process. Very important among the resources are family and friends, as identified by and with the permission of the client, who can provide support.
