Person-Centered Care is a philosophy and set of strategies that seeks to minimize harm associated with high-risk behaviors while supporting positive, incremental behavior change. This approach believes all people are capable of change and will do so when they are ready and when circumstances allow. It uses compassion, dignity, respect, and consistent positive regard to promote healing and long-term recovery. This training will include a review of the basic principles and practices of person-centered care for addiction, an overview of why it works, sample person-centered strategies, and interactive activities to enhance learning.
