Case Study Drug Rehabilitation

At the beginning of my training, I was hesitant to work with people struggling with addiction. However, at this point, I am excited to begin working with this population. The raw honesty presented in the group setting along with the anger at the possibility of losing a safe place created a dynamic I wanted to further explore. Research supports that individuals attending group therapy in a 12 step program format succeed if they have the proper support and motivation (Cite). The group dynamic demonstrated that recovery takes time and self-discovery, similar to other situations dealt with in therapy. Subsequently, by using my sense of self and humor with clients struggling with addiction, I can help them in their journey. Furthermore, the client needs to identify accountability at their own pace in the process and not when others dictate. This knowledge and the personalization of addiction will aid me in the future support of my

Too many people try to keep their addiction a secret for a wide variety of reasons. Many are worried about legal problems, others are concerned about family reaction, while an even larger number don 't want to lose their job. That 's why so many people are concerned about whether or not they can keep working while in drug rehab. Thankfully, the answer is mostly positive, though maintaining that balance may be a challenge.

The client is a 50-year-old, Latino who identifies as a gay male. Throughout this paper, I will refer to him as Jorge. He has been HIV-positive for 15 years and reports to have experienced problems with addiction to various substances since his mid-twenties. Within the past ten years, he has experienced cumulatively harsher consequences as a result of his drinking and drug use. He has been arrested 16 times, has been involved in 3 car wrecks, has received 3 DUIs, and at one point, served 6 months in jail. He reports that last Thanksgiving weekend he overdosed on heroin while thinking he was consuming crystal meth. Having survived that overdose has prompted him to seek recovery

I am impressed by the two ways the client’s program is managed through case management and a clinical program. On one hand, you have the clinical side. Clinical staff members provide drug education and teach skills to avoid a life of self-abuse. Mr. Martinez explained to me, “The Clinical Program is organized by different groups. You might think of these groups just as you would think of a school group or a vocational training program.” The clinical program is organized in much the same way, with the different components structured to focus on the various aspects that are essential to recovery. I understand how this approach would be beneficial for success in a recovery program. The case management side, also known as House staff, handles all the other aspects of the therapeutic community from job assignments, personal supplies needed, schedule of meetings, ext. This allows the clinical counselors devotion of their energies solely for the actual substance abuse treatment and allows the case manager to concentrate on the core living needs of the client. The fact that the clinical staff does not divulge personal information to the House staff the client has chosen to share either individually or in groups is of the utmost importance in my opinion. Only in matters of discipline, then broad aspects may be shared, or when the client is

In Georgia there’s a program called the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) and it is offered to state prisoners Formula Grant Program (42 U.S.C. 3796ff et seq.) It avails states and units of local regime in developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state and local correctional and detention facilities in which prisoners are incarcerated for a period of time ample to sanction substance abuse treatment.

In 2015, there were 428,000 children in foster care (Kids count, 2018). The average age of a child, entering the foster care system is 7.4 years. In 2014, more than half the children entering the foster care system in the United States where children of color. On average, children entering the foster care system remain in the system for two years, but seven percent stay in the system for five or more years. Fourteen percent of the children entering the system live in a foster home or group homes. In 2014, more than 107,000 children in foster care were waiting to be adopted (Children’s Bureau, 2014).

While thousands of people enter drug recovery centers, not all have successful results. The truth is that each drug recovery center is different and it is important to know what type of program is going to work best for you or your loved one. The following are some questions that you can ask to make sure that you choose the right center and increase your chances of recovery:

Health Partners health insurance does cover drug and alcohol rehab. Because of the Affordable Care Act, health insurance companies are required to cover drug addiction. Keep in mind that the amount of coverage one is able to get for drug and alcohol rehab can vary.

Avoiding repeated arrests and putting a stop to the revolving door commonly seen in the criminal justice system is possible. However, to accomplish this, counties throughout Tampa must begin addressing the issues of drug addiction and depression through drug rehabilitation and mental health facilities.

According to Alarid (2015), drug court treatment is one year in length with court hearings every 2-4 weeks and consists of four phrases or levels. Phase one begins the detox either inpatient or outpatient. In this phase the client will be assigned a case worker who will put together a plan to ensure success in the treatment program. Phase two then begins when the client’s progress is improving and signs of cooperation by the client is on a good path. The client when entering phase two will continue phase one’s rules along with pursuing employment or enrolling into school if applicable. Upon success deemed by the case worker and all involved the client will move on to phase three. In this phase the client should be near if not fully sober and

Substance abuse problems and addictions are common in Pretoria. The abuse of substances such as marijuana, crystal methamphetamine (tik), alcohol, and prescription drugs is continuing to be a problem, resulting in tragic consequences. In order to discontinue illicit drug use and addictive behaviors, drug treatment is essential. The journey to recovery requires a professional team who can tailor treatment to each individual’s needs.

Client’s unique spot in the world includes being an addict and suffering from the disease of addiction. The client

In this paper, I will compare my real world experiences at local Alcohol Anonymous’ (AA) meetings, which I attended while enrolled in this course with that in the movie, Thanks for Sharing. Both are based on the lives and experiences of recovering addicts of either substance abuse or sexual activity. This paper will cover the stories and lives of the characters involved. Stuart Blumberg directed the movie in 2012. All movie character references in this paper are taken directly from the actual movie.

In rehabilitating a person there first has to be an understanding that the person is there at their own free will and are not being made to be a part of that program. Rather than have someone in a program taking up room that does not want to be there when someone who truly needs and wants to be there can be getting the help they need. Therefore, when finding a program for Tony I had to look at a program that would be helpful because of his age and that can help his family. Now we know that rehabilitation is the process that helps a trouble individual to rebuild his or her life as well as bring it back on track in order for them to continue to live a normal and healthy life. Therefore, I feel that Tony would receive the best help from a drug rehabilitation program that is designed for juvenile and their family as well as an alcohol program for the family. I feel that this method not only helps him put it will help his parent possibly stop using drugs and alcohol. Now this could be a program that is family based which means he could continue to stay at home and go to school every day but have to report after school twice a week with his parents to their meetings. Furthermore, he will see that he has the support of his family and that they have his best interest in mind as well as want the best for him which, is to stop using drugs and alcohol.

Therefore, therapist can recommend to the client (Ahmed) to complete the detoxification program at first. As stated previously, detoxification alone does not address the psychological, social, and behavioral problems associated with addiction and therefore does not typically produce lasting behavioral changes necessary for recovery (Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment: A Research-Based Guide, 2009).
