Week 5 Discussion 2 - Substance Use Interventions

[U05d2] Week 5 Discussion 2: Substance Use Interventions

You have a client in your office who is interested in alternative solutions for their addiction. They would like to understand their options, including abstinence, harm reduction, and any other alternatives. You will provide them with three options and research that provides justification on why that is the best choice. These three options will include abstinence, harm reduction, and another intervention for substance abuse, or other addictive behavior that you will identify and define. Based on the weekly readings as well as your personal and professional experience, post a discussion of at least 350 words. All posts and responses should be supported by recent scholarly research with proper APA citations and references. Note that you will need to look outside the reading list for literature on family reactions to harm reduction.
