LASA 1—Gregory’s Treatment

People that abuse substances have individual reasons for what first drove them to begin using these substances in the first place. Some clients started using them through experimentation, peer pressure, or curiosity. However, many users began using substances as a way of dealing with other issues in their lives, such as depression, anxiety, weight loss, or other physical or mental disorders. In still other cases, mental and physical disorders may result in response to chronic substance abuse. In these cases, it is important to determine what the co-occurring disorder is, as well as the substance abuse problem, in order to determine the best course of treatment.

Read the following scenario and then respond to the questions that follow:

You are a substance abuse counselor. Gregory, your new client, has come to you for help with his alcohol use problem. Gregory is married with three children and works as a sales representative for a large corporation in the city. In your first meeting with Gregory, you discover that his drinking began as a way to alleviate the anxiety he felt in social situations. Over time, Gregory began using alcohol more often. He found that every time he used alcohol, his anxiety lifted and he was able to be more at ease during work, out with colleagues, and at other such public events. Over time, Gregory realized he needed more alcohol than before to get the same anxiety relieving effects.

Two weeks ago, one of Gregory’s coworkers became suspicious that Gregory was drinking at work. That same day, while Gregory was driving home from work, he was pulled over by the police. He passed the field sobriety test and the officer let him off with a warning. These two events served as a wake-up call for Gregory as he realized his alcohol use may be beyond his control.

Gregory has made an appointment with you because he sincerely wants to curtail his alcohol use.

To help Gregory achieve his goals, write a paper that analyzes the components of his scenario. In your paper, ensure that you include the following information:

  • Summarize the history and usefulness of the four major contemporary treatment modalities (crisis intervention, individual counseling, group counseling, and family counseling).
  • Evaluate Gregory’s dual diagnosis (also referred to as “co-occurring disorders”) and the implications for counseling. Keep the following questions in mind:
    • Describe the meaning of dual diagnosis and how it impacts counseling.
    • Classify Gregory’s primary and secondary diagnoses.
    • Analyze the implications in treating a secondary diagnosis.
  • Evaluate the limitations for an alcohol and drug counselor when treating diagnoses other than those related to substance abuse. Describe the circumstances where the four treatment modalities might be useful in a dual diagnosis.
  • Recommend at least one treatment modality for Gregory and explain your recommendation using at least two scholarly references.

Write a 4–5-page paper in Word format. Use scholarly resources, including your textbook, to support your ideas. Your paper must be in Word format and include a title page and reference page in addition to the 4-5-pages of content. Apply APA 6th edition standards to the format of the paper, and the citation of sources. PLEASE BE DETAILED ORIENTED.

Scholarly Content                  

Your case assignments are considered scholarly works. Your final work should include peer reviewed (scholarly) sources. Please use the formatting demonstrated in your Background section to cite the tutorials and readings from the Module Overview.

Please keep in mind that you should not use sources such as “Answers.com” or “Wikipedia” or “Wikianswers.”  None of these are scholarly sources and they can be “modified” by any registered user which makes them unreliable.

Appropriate Headings and Paper Flow

Remember that you are preparing a formal academic paper.

What were the two most meaningful experiences you had as part of your dialogs with classmates? 

/in /by

 

1.  What are three “take-aways” you will carry with you as you leave the course?  To qualify as take-aways, the three things must be something you found interesting, illuminating and that you can see yourself finding useful as you continue working on your degree and in your work.  They cannot be merely descriptions of factual information drawn from the publications with which you engaged, including but not limited to your course textbook.  You will need to think about why these things are ones you will carry with you beyond the course and how you will find them useful.
2.  What were the two most meaningful experiences you had as part of your dialogs with classmates?  These need to be experiential rather than factual information from the articles or other sources you used in support of the perspectives shared in your posts.  Again, give thought to why what you mention here is meaningful to you rather than talking about textbook and article topics (that comes next).
3. Which topic interested you the most among those you read about in the Gantt & Slife (2015) textbook and dialogued about on the forums and why did you find it interesting?
4.  Which article topic perspective would you not have supported had supporting it not been assigned to you? Did reading the article and having to support its perspective cause you to change your own perspective?
5.  Which “What Psychologists Do” assignment sub-specialty in psychology did you find that you were most drawn to while researching information about the six assigned sub-specialties?  It doesn’t have to be one you plan to or feel able to pursue, but rather the one you found most interesting.  Which one were you the least drawn to?
