What signifies the Maintenance stage in the Stages of Change Model?

The behavior has just been initiated.
The individual has maintained the new behavior consistently for over 6 months.
The person is preparing to make a change.
The individual recognizes the need for change.

The correct answer is: The individual has maintained the new behavior consistently for over 6 months.

The Maintenance stage in the Stages of Change Model is characterized by an individual who has successfully made a behavior change and has maintained that new behavior consistently for over six months. This stage is crucial as it marks the transition from actively having made a change to ensuring that the change is sustainable in the long term. Individuals in this stage work to consolidate their gains and prevent relapse by incorporating the new behavior into their daily routines and lifestyles. At this point, the individual typically has developed strategies to cope with challenges that may threaten to disrupt this new behavior and often engages in practices that support ongoing maintenance. This focus on long-term continuation helps solidify the behavior change and ensures that the individual remains committed to their new path, emphasizing the importance of stability and resilience in the recovery process.
