The recovery model is a part of a campaign by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This model is being used in the field of mental health and human services to emphasize a client-centered approach to recovery and change. It was initially developed for people struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues but has since been expanded to apply to all types of human service issues and diverse change objectives. A related theory for working with client change is motivational interviewing, described in the Miller and Rose article from the readings.
