Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The paradigm shift in mental health treatment from a deficit-and institution- based framework to a recovery and community integration frame necessitates new models of "case management" practices. The Recovery Guide model is just such a model. Beyond theoretical frameworks, the effectiveness of Recovery Guides has not been well studied. It is the intent of this study to conduct a randomized trial examining the effects of Recovery Guides on community tenure and integration. Furthermore, it is the intent of this study to to establish fidelity criteria.

Comparison(s): Recovery Guide services in addition to treatment as usual, compared to treatment as usual.
