A couple arrives at a treatment center. The spouse is in insisting that her husband be admitted for alcoholism. It seems he became quite intoxicated while playing bridge after having several drinks and taking an antihistamine at the couples’ bridge group and she feels something needs to be done before the disease progresses. What should the counselor do?
  1. Assess the man’s insurance. If it covers chemical treatment admits him.
  2. Interview the man to determine if there is a pattern of alcohol abuse during the past six weeks that might indicate impairment that might warrant in-patient treatment
  3. Refer the couple to Alcoholic Anonymous and Al-Anon for a few meetings to learn more about the disease.
Explanation
Answer: C - Refer the couple to AA and Al-Anon. There is no pattern indicating alcohol abuse. More than likely the man has a low tolerance to alcohol and the antihistamine lowered it even further.

Answer B appears to be incomplete based on the correct answer being "c." Yes, this was one incident, but the question that remains is whether or not there is a pattern of abuse. You didn't even suggest the short MAST?
