Show More
I heard you say that the DAST-20 would be a good tool to use. Because according to Stevens & Smith (2013), it can determine the level of abuse between alcohol and marijuana. It seems that this instrument can be used in treatments with youths also. This tool is brief; which clients can use to self-report by answering some 10-item yes/no questions. I would give Jamie the DAST-20 assessment but I would inquiry some more information to any of the questions, which he answers yes to (SAMHSA-HRSA center for integrated health solution.

    Essay On Foster Care

    INTRODUCTION Substance abuse is a prevalent issue that carries the massive weight of negative stigmas in the eyes of society. The abusers are seen as social pariahs to the rest of society especially when children are involved. When substance abuse is detected in a home involving children, the first reaction of the public is to remove the child from the home. However, removing a child from their home environment is not always the most logical solution for the health and safety of the child. The Department of Human Services automatically removes children from their parents when drugs are involved in order to correct the parental behavior.…

    Substance Use Disorder Testing Paper

    There was a study in 2003, using data from the Drug Evaluation Network System and a study conducted through the Center for Studies on Addiction of the University of Pennsylvania/Philadelphia Veterans Administration Medical Center, which sought to determine the potential of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) to serve as a screening instrument for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) substance dependence. It had a positive correlation between the composite scores of the ASI and the DSM-IV in both the alcohol and drug areas. Using the Drug Evaluation Network System (DENS), the DSM-IV questions, included in the ASI, regarding drug and alcohol had seven yes-or-no answers which was included in a checklist where three yes responses determined a DSM-IV diagnosis. The only problem was that the system couldn?t differentiate between what drug it was talking about. Using the pen-and-pencil interview was able to determine drug of choice, therefore a better…

Daniel believes he is in a local police watch house. Results from a study (Koskinen, Ahveninen, Kujala, Kaprio, O′Donnell, Osipova & Rose, 2011) suggest that subtle neurophysiological changes in proper processing and in attention and orienting to environmental changes can be related to alcohol use during adolescence and early adulthood. 3.5 Insight and Judgement: Insight relates to the patients awareness of their illness and need for treatment, hence compliance with treatment can save as a measure of the patient’s judgement.

    Family Assessment And Intervention Model Examples

    Assessment Today some families in America deal with many problems, one of the main stresses that many families have a hard time coping with is when a family member is abusing drugs. Usually, some family members use drugs as a last resort from an issue, they also use it to forget about a certain event that may haunt them, or it could be from a certain stressor within the family itself. In this case study, Jess is a 17-year-old teenage boy, who used to be an A student in school, has started using and abusing drugs/alcohol at the age of 10. As a result, Jess’s grades in school were dropping, he started arguments/fights with his parents, and he recently started to withdraw within himself. For this specific case study, I would use the Family Assessment and Intervention model because many families have almost like…

    The Addiction Potential Scale Vs. Addiction Severity Index

    The test comes in two forms, pencil and paper, and on the computer. The test is relatively short, thirty-nine items, and usually does not take long to complete.
