Making Decisions Regarding Treatment and Recovery

The Decision Support Center (DSC) is a certified peer support program designed to empower individuals to take an active role in their recovery. We support clients who are involved in: medication management services, outpatient therapy, and substance use treatment (Recovery and Healing).

Our goal as part of their treatment team is to help individuals feel informed, confident, and heard.

Using CommonGround®

The DSC uses a web-based tool called CommonGround® to support shared decision-making between individuals and their medical providers.
With CommonGround®, individuals can:

  • Complete a Health Report before appointments with their psychiatrist or CRNP
  • Communicate their needs, preferences, symptoms, and goals more clearly
  • Participate in collaborative and personalized treatment planning

CommonGround® also provides information about treatment options, practical tools and suggestions to help manage symptoms, and support for maintaining stability and wellness in daily life.
