The Treatment PlanThe Treatment plan is the road map that a patient will follow on his or herjourney through Treatment . The best plans will follow the patient for thenext 5 years where the relapse rates drop to around zero (Vaillant, 2003). Notwo road maps will be the same; everyone s journey is different. Treatmentplanning begins as soon as the initial assessments are completed. The patientmight have immediate needs that must be addressed. Treatment planning isa never-ending stream of therapeutic plans and interventions. It is alwaysmoving and changing. I have cowritten a thorough Treatment planning bookand computer program that should make Treatment planning easy: TheAddiction Treatment Planner(Perkinson & Jongsma, 2006a, 2006b).
