A former client calls asking to be admitted. He has completed treatment in this center two times before; both times have been within the recent eight months. He says he has been sober for 6 months; but he has relapsed. What recommendation is the most appropriate?
  1. Client should be asked to come immediately for an assessment interview. if he is drinking, transportation should be arranged.
  2. As he has been sober for six months he should return to AA at the first available AA meeting.
  3. The counselor and the client will review the discharge plan in an attempt to identify the cause for the relapse. The plan will be amended or redrawn.
  4. Staff will determine that he has plenty of orange juice on hand and client is told to wait until the counselor returns to work.
Explanation
Answer: A & C - An assessment and discharge plan review would be the appropriate recommendations. if an alcoholic has had no alcohol for six months he is more venerable to severe withdrawal systems. He does need to return to AA; but he first needs to be medically assessed. With two relapses over eight months careful attention should be paid to the relapse plan.
