    William presents with a combination of physical, cognitive, and psychological symptoms. His poor coping skills have also made him susceptible to depression and drug abuse. Although it is evident that William’s situation is exacerbated by a type1 trauma brought on through his exposure to combat while in the Army, his readjustment issues are also perpetuated by a traumatic brain injury (TBI), as his symptoms include anxiety, memory loss and dizziness.

Exploring a veteran residential program that includes harm reduction as an evidence base practice, can be an incentive for William as he is still ambivalent about his drug use.…

    Psychiatrists say they will attempt to manage patients through ACT alone, but most end up on a CTO. Giving the patient an opportunity to co-operate with the treatment is better than deeming them to be unlikely to adhere as soon as the process starts. Most clinicians try not to immediately place the person on a CTO; they would prefer to develop a therapeutic alliance with the patient and then place them on a CTO if necessary. This is possible with ACT because it provides a safety net when testing a patient’s ability to adhere to their treatment plan. One family member explained that “when you’ve got an ACT team coming in…and you do go off your meds, they’re going to be aware”.…

    There are a number of reasons that Carla could be agitated over, such as: being overwhelmed, confused, and angry about the agency’s actions, fearful, exhausted, confused, needing attention, and being angry about something said or done.
