Texas Recovery Initiative (TRI)

Overview

The purpose of the multi-phase Texas Recovery Initiative is to gather information and recommendations for designing protocols that implement holistic, recovery-oriented models of care for use within the behavioral health community. An essential characteristic of a recovery-oriented model is that it be based on an individualized, multi-disciplinary recovery plan that is developed in partnership with the person receiving these services and any others he or she identifies as supportive of this process.
