Which component emphasizes the individual's control over their recovery process?

• A. Self-Direction
• B. Respect
• C. Hope
• D. Holistic

Answer: (A)

Self-Direction is the component that emphasizes the individual's control over their recovery process. It means the person leads decisions about their goals, services, supports, and how to use resources, with professionals acting as partners to enable their choices. This emphasis on autonomy allows the recovery plan to reflect the person's preferences and pace. Respect focuses on treating the person with dignity and valuing their worth; Hope centers on belief in the possibility of recovery; Holistic care addresses all areas of life (physical, mental, social, etc.). While these are important, they describe other aspects of recovery rather than who controls the recovery process.
