Phase Four Objectives include which of the following?

• A. Moral Reasoning, Anger Control, Social Skills, Life Skills
• B. Plans for Release, Resisting Temptation to Repeat Cycle, Time and Money Management
• C. Plans for Release, Resisting Temptation to Repeat Cycle, Time and Money Management, Giving Back
• D. The Decision-Making Matrix Aids

Answer: (C)

Phase Four focuses on preparing for release and sustaining recovery after a crisis by giving the individual practical plans and skills to reintegrate successfully. The key elements here are Plans for Release, which ensures there’s a concrete transition plan and supports in place; Resisting Temptation to Repeat Cycle, which targets relapse prevention and safer decision-making when faced with triggers; Time and Money Management, providing essential everyday skills for independent living; and Giving Back, encouraging accountability and prosocial contribution to the community. This combination best supports staying out of crisis and building a stable path forward.

The other options miss one or more of these critical elements. For example, while some items like moral reasoning or social skills are important, they don’t alone cover release planning or relapse prevention. Leaving out Giving Back ignores a restorative component that helps reinforce positive identity and community ties. A tool like the Decision-Making Matrix Aids is valuable, but it’s not the overall objective described for Phase Four.
