Fictional example: Jordan wants a safety conversation while still deciding on longer-term goals.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Reducing harm and seeking treatment can coexist with different recovery goals.
1. Choose a workable example
Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
Prepare questions for a clinician or harm-reduction service about overdose prevention, naloxone, and other locally appropriate supports.
3. Compare possibilities
Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.
4. Decide together
What support can be sought now without waiting for perfect readiness? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
