Which phase of change indicates that a person has developed plans to maintain a change?

  1. Action

  2. Maintenance

  3. Pre-contemplation

  4. Contemplation

The correct answer is: Action

The phase of change where an individual develops plans to maintain a change is the Maintenance phase. In this stage, a person has already made significant changes in their behavior and is focused on sustaining those changes over time. This involves implementing strategies to prevent relapse and ensure that the new behaviors become a lasting part of their lifestyle. The Maintenance phase is essential for long-term success after initially changing behaviors, as it highlights the importance of ongoing support and commitment to the new way of living. This phase often includes regularly monitoring progress, creating coping strategies for potential triggers, and emphasizing the benefits that have been gained from making the change. Understanding this phase helps recovery coaches support individuals in their journey, emphasizing the significance of planning and preparation to ensure that positive changes are maintained effectively.
