Review Detoxification (chapter 2) in our text- Chemical Dependency Counseling. During detoxification that client may feel miserable because their body it adjusting to the absence of mood altering substances in their system. This may be a time when the client wants to stop treatment. Consider that your client is a 55 yo male alcoholic, whose family completed an intervention and he agreed to go to treatment. He has had blackouts (periods of being awake but not remembering what he did when drinking), arrest for DUI, physically abusing his wife while intoxicated, suffers from high blood pressure and fatty liver due to his drinking. He is in the 3rd day of his detoxification and he feels nauseated, has trouble sleeping, and is just generally uncomfortable. His thinking is still a little foggy. Based on the information in the text develop a script of how you would try to convince the client to remain in treatment. You can consider how the AMA script( page 38) might give some guidance but this needs to be your personal script not a paraphrase of the AMA conversation on page 38.
