Who owns or possesses a Recovery Plan?

Who owns or possesses a Recovery Plan?

• A. The program administrator
• B. The Recoveree
• C. The sponsor
• D. The clinician

Answer: (B)

Ownership of a Recovery Plan rests with the person in recovery because the plan is centered on their goals, choices, and consent. The Recoveree sets the priorities, decides what information to include, and determines when and with whom to share it. This person-centered ownership ensures autonomy, engagement, and tailoring to what truly matters to them. Clinicians, sponsors, and program staff can help draft, implement, and update the plan, and they provide support and coordination, but they do not own the plan. Keeping ownership with the Recoveree also makes it a living document that can evolve as goals and needs change, while still benefiting from professional guidance and peer support.
