Addiction Assessment and Intervention Plan

For your Final Project, you will apply the information you have learned in this course to
critically analyze a case study and develop an Assessment and Intervention Plan based
on it. Your Final Project must explain the choices you made in your plan and be
supported with scholarly references from peer-reviewed literature and your course text.
The case study for your project will be selected by you from published media (literature
or film). The subject of the case study should be at least 16 years of age and meet
criteria for a substance-related or addictive disorder.

Your Final Project should be 10–12 pages and include all of the following:
1. Overview of client using biopsychosocial model—this should include biological
predispositions, family influences, cultural considerations, and other systemic
factors, as applicable.
2. Assessment tools and rationale for selection
3. Provisional diagnosis with criteria; alternate considerations and rule-outs noted
4. Chosen therapeutic approach with rationale for selection; initial treatment goals
for client
5. Ethical and legal considerations
6. Relapse prevention and continuum of care plan
Don’t forget to include an introduction and summary in your paper!
