Outline for Final Paper

 

Client Background

This section should include clients age and demographics, information about their

current living situation, employment status and place of employment, and brief information

about where they were born and raised, socioeconomic status and any cultural or social identities

they hold.

Past and Current Substance Use History

This section includes information about current and past substance use, any treatment

they have received, or attempts made to change their patterns. If they have been to treatment, this

section explains their experience there, types of therapy or treatment modalities they have used,

successes and challenges, any periods of sobriety, as well as relapse. This section discusses the

impact the substances have, and currently have on their daily functioning and any impairments.

Interpretative Summary

This section takes into consideration the impact of substances, the clients identities, daily

functioning, type of lifestyle and relationships client has. The goal of this section is to describe

the client taking into consideration their experiences and ways in which they have been impacted

and have formed their world accordingly.

Clients Co-Occurring Diagnosis

This section includes the diagnosis written out and formatted correctly, including severity

level and all specifiers. This includes justifying the diagnosis and ruling in and out symptoms

that explain why the client does or does not meet criteria for said diagnosis. In this you will

include information from the DSM-5 and any other information you may have from measures or

screenings used.

303.90 (F10.20) Severe Alcohol Use Disorder, in early remission in a controlled environment

304.20 (F14.20) Severe Cocaine Use Disorder, in early remission in a controlled environment

300.4 (F34.1) Severe Early Onset Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

Corresponding Quadrant and Level of Care

This section will examine the Four Quadrants Model to classify care based on the

severity of the clients COD. The goal is to explain and justify which quadrant your client would

be placed in and consider the appropriate level of care that would be needed. You can use the

Quadrants of Care handout and Definition of Treatment Services handouts from the Asynch

material.

Family Systems Hypothesis

This section will examine the clients family system, including cultural identities and

possible barriers or strengths to success in treatment and recovery. This will expand on the

clients family members, children and close relationships, their history of substance use, history

of mental health concerns/diagnosis, and the impact this has had on the client. This will also

discuss support or lack of support the client has. Some of this information will need to be

hypothesized on.

Proposed Treatment Plan

This section discusses the appropriate treatment plan for the client based on your

conceptualization of them and all information provided. This section addresses the different

types of programs the client would benefit from, types of evidenced-based treatment and

modalities, and plans for after care. This section goes in depth about types of treatment, therapy

and can include housing options. For example, if the client were to start in an inpatient program,

move to a step down IOP and then be discharged to either a housing option in the community, or

within their family system.

References

This goes on the last page by itself and will include any and all references used in APA format.
