DB 1.2
From your readings, and the Individual Drug Counseling (1999) manual by Mercer and Woody, what do you think are 3 “differences” in terms of key treatment issues that exist in the early abstinence, maintaining abstinence, and advanced recovery stages? Please demonstrate your understanding of these concepts by discussing a potential client (hypothetical of your choice) by identifying issues that might be present in each stage during your work with the client.
DB 1.3
From your reading in Stevens & Smith (2010), a basic description of a medical detoxification, dual-diagnosis inpatient hospital, independent rehab programs, partial hospitalization, halfway houses, and intensive outpatient programs are discussed. In thinking about each of these settings, what makes the treatment obstacles that the human service professional might face “unique?” For example, what are some challenges that the treatment provider might face in each setting? Please think about examples to help demonstrate your understanding.
