Licensed Chemical Addictions Counselor Study Questions

Answer: C - Arranging for discharge plans is not a crisis intervention step. A counselor does not know how soon a client can be discharged until investigation reveals the seriousness of the crisis. The crisis can be that taking a sleeping pill on no sleep for five days alarmed the client; or their blood pressure may have increased to life-threatening levels. To find the most accurate information you must give support and assess the crisis. Action plans may have unconsciously or consciously been discarded; more plans may be needed.
