The Positive Recovery Behavior Tracker is a comprehensive tool designed to help individuals monitor and enhance their engagement in behaviors that support long-term recovery and overall well-being. By tracking your recovery-related activities over the past week, this self-assessment tool allows you to identify strengths and areas for improvement in your recovery journey. Using a 5-point Likert scale, the tracker captures how often you engage in specific positive behaviors, from attending support group meetings to practicing self-care and maintaining healthy relationships. Your responses provide valuable insights, enabling you to reinforce beneficial habits and address areas needing more focus. Regular use of this tracker supports a more structured and successful recovery process.

Developed by Dr. Hal Baumchen, PsyD, LP, LADC, this tracker is formatted for easy daily or weekly use. Clients complete it independently between sessions and bring it in for review, giving clinicians a concrete picture of what’s happening outside the office – patterns and triggers a single-session snapshot can miss.

How clinicians use it: for symptom monitoring over time, to identify triggers that inform the treatment plan, to measure progress with real data rather than recall, and as a shared clinical record completed by the client and reviewed together.
