The Case for Screening and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders

/in /by

De Jong and Berg review strategies for working with mandated clients. Assume for this role play that you are placed in an addiction treatment program.
From the techniques De Jong and Berg identify, discuss how you would approach an intake interview with a 26-year-old woman who has been court-ordered to see you following an arrest for DUI. This is her first arrest. From your intake, you realize that this client has both a depression diagnosis and is using alcohol heavily. You develop a treatment plan with her to attend a day treatment program at your facility.
One of the services you would like to recommend is a mutual aid group, but you realize that there is no such group at the agency.Your supervisor gives you permission to develop this group. The Case for Screening and Treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders
Many adults have a mental illness and a substance use disorder (co-occurring disorder). Integrated care is recommended.
(https://www.samhsa.gov/co-occurring-disorders)
What factors would go into planning for this mutual aid group to meet the recovery needs of dually diagnosed women in this same program as your client? Consider the optimal size of the group, open or closed membership, length of the group, frequency of sessions, etc. What are some of the issues that might emerge for this group? Are there any client factors that might
lead you to screen a client out of such a group?

The advantage of the net risk test approach

/in /by

The advantage of the net risk test approach is that it reduces the likelihood that potential direct benefits from one intervention will be used as a justification for exposing participants to risks from unrelated interventions that offer no direct benefits. However, neither approach eliminates the need for subjective determinations. The net benefit test dispenses with clinical equipoise entirely, instead relying on a general principle of avoiding ‘excessive risk’. Whether a particular mix of risks and potential benefits is ‘reasonable’ or ‘excessive’ is ultimately left to the judgment of those charged with reviewing the study) (Coleman, 2021)

How depression is caused by exposure to the stress hormones cortisol

/in /by
 Dr. Bialik reads about a new theory that suggests depression is caused by exposure to the stress hormones cortisol in the womb. To test this theory, she conducted a study comparing the cortisol level in amniotic fluid of individuals who were later diagnosed with depression and the cortisol level of those who did not develop depression. Dr. Bialik found no differences in amniotic fluid cortisol levels between the groups. Based on these results, Dr. Bialik should conclude that Group of answer choices there is no way to prove the theory because of flaws in the methodology used by Dr. Bialik to test her theory. she has disproved the previous theory because the lack of findings contradict her theory. there may be unexamined factors influencing the results that contributed to the results of other studies on this topic. previous studies that support the theory are probably flawed.
