The type of intervention approach most appropriate for the homelessness issue in Baltimore City is a preventative targeted intervention. This approach has been selected since, a portion of homeless individuals are showing signs and symptoms of substance abuse (Roe-Sepowtiz, Bedard, & Thyer, 2005). Although there are great efforts in Baltimore City’s intervention plans, there are too many gaps that leave out individuals who are suffering from substance abuse (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). Every plan has the same goal of moving the homeless with substance abuse problems into a healthier lifestyle, however change has been a slow and ineffective process (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009).

To me to intervene in practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities means social workers know about evidence-based interventions to help achieve the goals of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities they work with. Social workers understand the theories from all course work and critically evaluate and apply what we know to successfully help clients meet their goals. We realize that inter-professional and interdisciplinary collaboration is important to helping clients. We use what we understand about human behavior, person-in-environment and theoretical framework with our clients. We advocate and mediate with and for clients to ensure goals are met.…
The emphasis on prevention and early intervention makes General Practitioners, being accessible, trusted and capable, ideal candidates to treat ‘patients’ with low-level substance problems (Deeham et al,1998). Yet despite there being plenty of training available in the subject, doctors show little interest enrolling in ‘dirty work’, predominately because they consider their remit lies with medical, not social aspects of a prejudicial ‘illness’(Strong, 1980:24). Brown et al (2016), however, offers an alternative argument to doctor’s reluctance, pointing out pro-active measures are backed by minimalistic financial incentives for brief interventions targeting substances, like alcohol, in comparison to smoking cessation. It could be suggested this…

Cultural Sensitivity There has been a major increase in home-based early intervention services beimg more culturally sensitive towards the children and families that they deal with and this is very important. As the years pass the population of families with children who have a disability, mental health issue and who are delayed become more socioculturally, linguistically, ethnically, and diverse. It is expected that interventionists work well with families who challenge them to provide home-based intervention services in different, but still culturally sensitive ways (Gardiner, 2011). Early interventionists and professionals who are working with culturally diverse families must know how to respectfully interact with them, effectively incorporate…
Home Health: Drug and Substance Abuse National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence statistics tell us that over ten percent of hospital admissions for seniors are drug or alcohol related, as are 14 percent of emergency room visits and over 20 percent of psychiatric hospital admissions. Widowers over the age of 75 have the highest rate of alcoholism in America. With three to five million seniors over the age of 65 suffering from substance abuse, there is already a problem. However, according to the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, the problem has just started. With the rapid increase in the senior population, the numbers of seniors with substance abuse problems are expected to double by 2020.…
For decades, British governments have pledged to combat substance misuse to reduce the alleged cost of addressing the associated harms said to be diverting billions of pounds from more productive expenditure (Fordham et al, 2007). Yet with unknown numbers of children exposed to substantial ‘hidden harm’ living in adverse environments, there is no choice but to continue ploughing funding into substance misuse to enhance the prospects of the next generation (ACMD, 2003). Having tried and tested several different initiatives, the latest drug policy has resorted to ‘recovery’. Wider issues which contribute to substance misuse are addressed within recovery to hopefully persuade individuals to tackle addiction, become respectful, and eventually…
