Who can CRSS professionals hold accountable for their actions?

Choosing to hold organizations accountable for acting in accordance with their vision, values, or policies is a fundamental aspect of the role of a CRSS professional. This involves ensuring that organizations provide appropriate support and resources aligned with their stated mission and ethical standards. When CRSS professionals emphasize accountability in this way, they create an environment that fosters trust and integrity within the recovery process. By advocating for the organization to respect its own guidelines and uphold its values, CRSS professionals can help to ensure that clients receive the quality of services and support they need.

This focus on organizational accountability reflects the understanding that recovery support is a collective effort, where the alignment of organizational practices with their foundational principles greatly impacts the effectiveness of recovery services. It enables CRSS professionals to advocate for client needs and drive systemic improvements within organizations that contribute to successful recovery outcomes.
