Who We Are
At Highlands Community Services, Adult Recovery Services provide a comprehensive community support system for people in recovery who have a serious mental illness and are unable to function independently in the community. These individuals require guidance, training, and considerable support in preventing hospitalizations, in accessing needed resources, and in maintaining a natural support system through meaningful relationships.
The strengths-based model of case management practiced by Highlands Community Services’ adult care coordinators focuses primarily on the strengths, interests, and abilities of the person in recovery, rather than on weaknesses, deficits or pathology. Each individual is viewed as “the director” of the helping process and is regarded positively as a person who can learn, grow, and change. Close, ongoing assistance is assured to each individual, according to his needs and desires in order to choose the roles that he wishes to occupy. Our model has also been described as a “traveling companion model of case management.” The focus is on helping people in recovery attain their highest level of independent living and to exercise a voice in making their own choices.
