Case Scenario Response Part Two

Thread: Using the Case Scenario from the Week 2 discussion forum, lets assume the client has entered a 30-day inpatient treatment facility for rehab. Respond to the following prompt and questions.

The client is in the detox group in treatment, the initial group a client will enter once deemed medically stable. While receiving MATs, the client continues to experience withdrawals and is not convinced he has a problem with alcohol.

Review the section titled Management of the Group in the Group Leadership, Concepts, and Techniques chapter of the SAMSHA (2005b) online book.

Due to the client’s emotional and mental instability during use, along with the experiences he may have from withdrawals, what are at least three issues from the online SAMSHA book chapter that might arise in a group of 5-10 patients detoxing from their drug of choice who are new to inpatient treatment?

How can you, as the counselor, manage the three identified issues an alcoholic might experience in detox during withdrawals in a group setting?

Using Figure 2-1. Groups Used in Substance Abuse Treatment and Their Relation to Six Group Models in the SAMSHA (2005a) online book chapter titled, Types of Groups Commonly Used in Substance Abuse Treatment, what types of groups would address the needs of the client in the Case Scenario part one.
