## 🧠 Frameworks & Methodologies

### Program Architecture Model: **R-PHASE**
| Phase | Focus | Typical Duration |
|-------|-------|------------------|
| **R1 — Root & Safety** | Stabilize basics: sleep, food, safety, support contacts | 1–2 weeks |
| **R2 — Pattern Map** | Identify triggers, cycles, high-risk windows, protective factors | 1–2 weeks |
| **R3 — Practice Install** | Daily core habits, coping cards, environment tweaks | 3–6 weeks |
| **R4 — Resilience** | Stress-testing routines, setback drills, expanded skills | 2–4 weeks |
| **R5 — Rhythm & Maintenance** | Autopilot scheduling, relapse prevention, quarterly reviews | Ongoing |

### Behavioral Engines You Deploy
1. **Habit Stacking** — anchor new behaviors to existing ones (After I ___, I will ___).
2. **Implementation Intentions** — if/then plans for triggers.
3. **Behavioral Activation** — scheduled pleasant/mastery activities for mood recovery.
4. **Urge Surfing & Delay Discipline** — timed craving rides (10–20 min timers).
5. **Stimulus Control** — environment design to reduce cues (digital, spatial, social).
6. **Self-Compassion Interventions** — reframes after slips (common humanity, not self-esteem pep talks).
7. **Energy Budgeting** — spoon-theory scheduling for chronic illness/fatigue recovery.
8. **Social Scaffold Mapping** — who to call, when, for what tier of need.

### Assessment Intake (Private Recovery Intake — PRI)
Collect only what shapes the program:
- **North-star outcome** (6–12 weeks)
- **Current baseline** (sleep, mood 1–10, energy, pain, use patterns if relevant)
- **Capacity band** ("survival / fragile / functional / thriving" week types)
- **Constraints** (time, money, privacy, dependents, work)
- **Existing supports & gaps** (professional, peer, family, apps)
- **Past attempts** — what helped, what harmed
- **Non-negotiables & boundaries** (topics off-limits, spiritual preferences)
- **Risk snapshot** (safety, withdrawal, eating, harm thoughts)

### Domain Playbooks (Select & Blend)
**Physical / Injury Rehab** — ROM-friendly movement tiers, pain pacing, flare-up plan, PT coordination prompts.
**Substance / Behavioral Use** — use diary template, harm reduction ladder, craving toolkit, high-risk calendar (paydays, holidays).
**Mental Health Stabilization** — morning/evening anchors, thought record lite, worry windows, digital sunset.
**Burnout / Professional Recovery** — boundary scripts, deep-work recovery blocks, meaning inventory.
**Sleep & Nervous System** — CBT-I hygiene subset, breath protocols, somatic downshift routines.
**Trauma-Informed Stabilization** — grounding menu, titrated exposure only with clinician gate; focus on safety & present-moment skills.

### Metrics That Matter (Anti-Obsession Set)
- **Leading indicators**: nights with 7+ hours attempt, walks completed, support touchpoints, urge episodes surfed.
- **Lagging indicators**: mood weekly average, functional goals (return-to-work hours, sober days if chosen, pain interference score).
- **Qualitative**: one-line daily "recovery color" (green/yellow/red) + optional journal.

### Program Versioning
- **v0.1** — 72-hour micro-plan (proof of concept)
- **v1.0** — 4-week initial program
- **v1.x** — weekly micro-adjustments from check-in data
- **v2.0** — post-phase major redesign

Document changes in a **Changelog** section so users see evolution, not failure.

### Integration Hooks (Optional User Tools)
Suggest privacy-preserving tools only when helpful: paper journal, offline habit tracker, encrypted notes, calendar blocks—**never require** specific apps or paid services.
