Your loved one needs help.
You need answers.
When mental health, substance use, or changes in behavior leave you unsure what to do next, Recovery Frameworks provides comprehensive, independent behavioral health assessments to help you understand the situation and determine a path forward.
Serving individuals and families throughout Georgia.
Knowing something is wrong doesn’t always mean knowing what to do.
Maybe your spouse's drinking has gotten worse. Your son was caught using substances at school. Your daughter left for college and suddenly isn't acting like herself. Someone you love is struggling with depression despite already seeing a therapist and psychiatrist. Sometimes the solution is obvious. Often, it isn't.
During already difficult times, families can find themselves trying to make complicated decisions about mental health and substance use while receiving conflicting advice and searching through treatment options they don't fully understand. Does this require another therapist? A psychiatrist? More support at home? Intensive outpatient treatment? Residential care? Something else entirely?
You shouldn't have to make that decision based on a web search.
Recovery Frameworks helps you slow down, understand the whole picture, and determine what kind of help may actually be appropriate.
Start with understanding.
Calling a treatment program can be helpful when you already know what you're looking for. But when you don't know what level or type of care someone needs, it can be difficult to know where to begin. Recovery Frameworks starts with a different question:
What does this person actually need?
A comprehensive behavioral health assessment looks beyond a single symptom, diagnosis, or incident. We consider the person's mental health, substance use, safety, functioning, treatment history, relationships, environment, strengths, preferences, goals, and willingness to engage in change.
The result is a clearer understanding of what is happening and a practical roadmap for what to do next.
The whole person. The whole picture.
-
We explore current symptoms, substance use, behavioral patterns, and other concerns that may be contributing to the situation.
-
We look at safety concerns as well as how the person is functioning at home, work, school, in relationships, and in everyday life.
-
What has already been tried? What helped? What didn't? Previous periods of stability and previous treatment experiences can provide important information about what may work going forward.
-
Behavioral health doesn't exist in isolation. Family relationships, living environment, work or school, support systems, stressors, and other circumstances all matter.
-
We don't just assess what's wrong. We look at what is working, what the person is capable of, what matters to them, what they want, and what resources can be built upon.
-
We bring this information together to consider what level and type of support appears appropriate and what practical next steps may make sense.
How it works
Start with a conversation.
Complete a confidential inquiry form and tell us a little about what's happening. If Recovery Frameworks may be an appropriate fit, you'll speak directly with Andrew to discuss your concerns and learn more about the assessment process.
Complete a comprehensive in-home assessment.
Andrew meets with the individual and family in their own environment. The process generally includes individual and family interviews, standardized behavioral health screening measures, review of relevant history and records, and assessment of the person's functioning, safety, strengths, preferences, and current circumstances.
Approximately six hours are reserved for the in-home assessment so there is time to understand the situation.
Receive a clear roadmap.
Following the assessment, Recovery Frameworks brings the information together into a comprehensive written report.
The report summarizes the assessment findings, identifies important strengths and concerns, considers appropriate levels of care, and provides individualized recommendations and potential resources.
Reports are generally completed within approximately one week.
Review it together.
A 60–90 minute video consultation is included so you can review the findings and recommendations, ask questions, and understand the reasoning behind the proposed next steps.
A follow-up consultation approximately 30 days later is also included.
Sometimes the concern is obvious. Sometimes you just know something has changed.
Recovery Frameworks may be helpful when:
Substance use is beginning to affect someone's health, relationships, school, work, or responsibilities.
Someone who has always functioned well no longer seems able to manage their drinking or substance use.
Depression, anxiety, or another mental health concern appears to be getting worse.
A loved one is already seeing a therapist or psychiatrist, but the current plan doesn't seem to be enough.
A college-aged child has experienced an unexpected decline in behavior, academics, relationships, or functioning.
A teenager's substance use, school problems, or changes in behavior have raised concerns about something deeper.
Family members and professionals have different opinions about what should happen next.
You're considering treatment but don't know what level or type of care makes sense.
Recovery Frameworks primarily serves adults and their families and may also work with adolescents ages 16 and 17 when the situation falls within the scope of the service.
Treatment isn’t one thing.
For many families, words like treatment or rehab immediately bring to mind leaving home and entering an inpatient or residential program. Behavioral health care is much broader than that.
Depending on the individual, appropriate support might involve existing outpatient providers, changes to an outpatient treatment plan, additional community support, intensive outpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, residential treatment, inpatient care, or another combination of services. The most intensive option isn't automatically the best option.
The goal is to identify the appropriate option.
Recovery Frameworks evaluates the situation before recommending a plan, helping families understand both the level of concern and the range of options available.
Independence matters.
Recovery Frameworks serves individuals and families—not treatment programs.
We do not accept referral fees, placement fees, commissions, or other compensation from treatment providers based on our recommendations.
When specific treatment resources are recommended, the goal is to identify options that appear appropriate for the individual's needs, circumstances, strengths, preferences, and recommended level of care.
Start with an assessment, not a sales agenda.
Clinical perspective. Real-world experience.
Recovery Frameworks is led by Andrew Cranny, LMSW, a therapist with experience in behavioral health and recovery services beginning in 2020.
Andrew's work has included peer support, recovery coaching, interventions, sober companionship, case management, and therapy at the outpatient and residential treatment level. That combination provides a perspective extending beyond identifying symptoms alone.
Understanding what someone may need also requires understanding how behavioral health treatment actually works from ongoing outpatient support through more structured levels of care.
Recovery Frameworks brings those perspectives together to help individuals and families understand the situation in front of them and make informed decisions about what comes next.
A more personal approach to a complicated decision.
Behavioral health decisions are deeply personal. They also deserve time.
Recovery Frameworks was built around a concierge approach to assessment: personal, responsive, discreet, and thorough.
Rather than trying to reach a conclusion through a brief phone screening, the assessment process is designed to understand the individual in context. What concerns brought you here? How will your history, family, environment, strengths, preferences, and goals influence what happens next?
The objective isn't simply to identify problems.
It's to help you make a better-informed decision about what to do with them.
Your loved one needs help. You don't have to figure it out alone.
If you are concerned about someone you love and aren't sure what kind of help they need, share a little about what's happening.
Recovery Frameworks will review your inquiry and contact you to arrange an initial conversation if the service may be appropriate.
