Wrap-Up

Overview:

You have now worked through several topic areas related to substance abuse screening and assessment.  Now is the time to put it all together.

Tasks:

You are to contact the third person that volunteered to be a client for you.  This person is to become a client using multiple types of compounds with some level of intensity (Of which the client will determine).  You are to conduct an assessment with this client using any instrument you desire.  Upon completion, analyze the data and write a client report using any technique you require.  The report should include at a minimum:

  • Background information.

  • A client diagnosis using the DSM IV.

  • Type of treatment you are going to recommend.

  • Type of care the client should expect.

  • Other relevant information.

For each section be able to clearly justify your answer.  Think of me as a judge making a decision about this client’s future (and your reputation as well).

Your review will in part be the basis for your grade.  So be thorough and complete.

Send the completed evaluation to your instructor’s e-mail address.  Share your thoughts with your classmates in the on-line discussion.
