The reading entitled “The Treatment Plan” focuses on developing treatment plans, particularly for those in substance abuse rehabilitation programs. First, the interdisciplinary team, which consists of a variety of professionals such as doctors, nurses, and therapists, writes a summary of the client at intake to determine the problems, how they came about, and the potential solutions. Next, a problem list is created. The problem statement is one sentence explaining the problem, which is abstract and not tangible. Therefore, signs and symptoms are also listed underneath, such as history of DUI and the blood alcohol level. These are used as evidence to back-up the problem statement.

An integrated screening is used for information gathering through interviews, testing, and overall assessment. It can be used to determine signs of intoxication and self-harm, as well as a client’s overall behavior and outward appearance. It is more of a surface-level examination and should not be used as the only assessment tool. In contrast, integrated assessment is more detailed and looks at cognitive functioning, readiness for change, and can be used to establish formal diagnoses and determine the appropriate level of care. It is client-centered, motivating, and should encourage the client to continue with treatment. There are typically 12 specific steps used in this assessment, which are used to obtain information on symptoms, strength, limitation, cultural barriers, and past history with mental health and substance abuse difficulties. In addition, the clinician can use this to obtain a reading of the client’s perception of the problem and how they would like to make a change. As described above in the summary of the previous reading, integrated treatment planning is a detailed look at the services that are expected to be provided to the client for each problem and how this will bring about change change for him or her. It is not a final document and will change over the course of time as the person continues to grow. Not one of these three options should be used alone, but rather all should be combined in the appropriate manner to best serve the

As clinicians, there is a duty to provide as clear of a diagnostic assessment as possible, particularly in relation to substance use, in order to provide the best care. In Substance Abuse Counseling: Theory and Practice, the authors state “as with other diseases and disorders, the earlier a therapist diagnoses a substance abuse problem, the better the prognosis for the client.” (Stevens & Smith, 2013) This makes assessment crucial to the diagnostic process. In “Screening, brief intervention, referral to treatment (SBIRT) for illicit drug and alcohol use at multiple heathcare sites,” written by Madras, Compton, Avula, Stegbauer, Stein, & Clark (2009), the reported 2006 NSDUH survey statistics estimated that “22.6 million people harbor a diagnosable alcohol or illicit drug use disorder.” (Madras et.al, 2009) Over the years, researchers have developed
The main components of treatment include confrontation, detoxification, and rehabilitation (Friedlander & Norman, 2006). Confrontation involves overcoming patients’ denial, convincing them of the consequences of continued drinking, and motivating them to receive treatment (Friedlander & Norman, 2006). Detoxification consists of removing alcohol from the body and protecting the patient from the effects of withdrawal (Friedlander & Norman, 2006). Rehabilitation consists of continued efforts to increase and maintain high

The clinet’s treatment plan must be appropriate and relational and this will alow any type of medication and adaptions to be adjusted if needed so that modifications and adaptations can be adjusted as needed (Altman, Briggs, Frankel, Gensler, and Pantone, 2002). The ultimate goal of case conceptualization and treatment planning is to discover complete findings in relation to the client. One approach is Existential Therapy. The human
This writer met with the patient to address her non-compliance with treatment, referring to her attendance to the cocaine group and her AWOLs. This writer explained to the patient about the purpose of the clinical intervention as the patient continues to test positive for cocaine, opiates, and fentanyl. The patient appeared to be surprised to learn about the fentanyl results in her UA's and believes that her "dope" could have been laced. The patient is aware of her non-compliance and made excuses by reporting that she tends to oversleep as she often times cannot hear her alarm from her cellphone. In addition, when the patient AWOL from the clinic, she tends to relapse and her most recent was relapse was on 5/29/2017-3 bags of heroin by inhalation.

Treatment is based on the patient’s individual and realistic goals, concerns, and meaningful activities. A lot of the time group therapy can be useful for patients with substance abuse to regain their social skills and be associated with people going through the same situation. Also, treatment could be broken up into several stages to meet the needs of each individual and inpatient or outpatient treatments can occur. “Therapists need to educate the patients about the addictions they have. They need to learn that their moods will be exacerbated and to learn that they can deal with their feelings through certain techniques for anger and stress management

Residential treatment (RT), which is currently recommended, actually places the substance abuser in a facility where care staff and experts who oversee their treatment monitor them. For Levi, this is a combination of medication, psychotherapy, physical activities, social activities, and counseling. The target is to support, guide, and monitor the client in completing this treatment plan, wherein the target is for the client to be rid of said addiction through the course of the plan. The continuum of care for addictive and compulsive behavior will be an important element in the plan. Additionally, the plan will take consideration of the particulars of the client to fit the plan to the client 's needs, situation, and personality. Wenzel, Brown and Beck (2009) suggest that "in the first session of counseling with suicidal patients, the following strategies should be used: (1) discuss structure and process of treatment, (2) emphasize compliance by the
