Similarly, the common goal of getting off medication is often particularly counter productive in attaining a higher quality of life. Positive recovery objectives are also, in large part, able to be worked towards actively and collaboratively, and are generally observable and accountable, non-stigmatizing, humanizing, and hopeful. What does not need to be excluded is special knowledge, training, skills and experience, caring and even healing spirit. Medication, psychotherapy and case management can all be successfully adapted to the psychosocial rehabilitation model. Medication prescription becomes a process of education, consultation and collaboration.
Case management becomes personal service plan goal setting, support and facilitation.
There is a need for more professionals to work in psychosocial rehabilitation settings to learn how to adapt their clinical treatment methods to the psychosocial rehabilitation model. This conflict often leads to agonizing results. The need is not so much to leave treatment or medication as to enter life. Community integration' something most programs do very poorly, if at all, is the door they are looking for. At the point of walking through that door we should find ourselves alongside our clients working to fight stigma and to improve our deteriorated communities.
