Addictions Case Study – Part 3 Assignment Instructions

Overview

The Addictions Case Study assignment is designed to help you make application of course content to a potential counseling situation. The assignment will be divided up into three parts: Part 1 – Case Conceptualization; Part 2 – Diagnostic Impressions; and Part 3 – Treatment Plan. The Case Study – Part 3 is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of Module 7.

General Paper Instructions

The general requirements for the paper are:

· A medium-length paper (about a 7- to 9-page summary, not including the title and references page– no abstract is needed).

· This is to be formatted in the most current APA style.

· You will need a minimum of seven professional sources, using books, journals, and websites (especially the ones used in this course, but no more than two websites! – I want you to use books and journals to build your treatment plan, and they must be cited and referenced correctly in the most current APA-style.

Assignment Specific Instructions

For Part 3 – Treatment Plan , again using the “EDCO 740 Addictions Case Study Narrative,” you will analyze what you wrote in Part 1 (Case Conceptualization) and Part 2 (Diagnostic Impressions), and build a Treatment Plan for the client from the narrative.

In your write-up, you will need to (carefully review the rubric for more detail):

· You will provide a minimum of FOUR Problem/Symptoms that you will develop into a treatment plan for this client. Here, you need to write several sentences under each problem/symptom to briefly conceptualize what you see the issue being.

· Then show a minimum of two “Long-Term Goals” per problem/symptom as a sentence/statement. You will explain each of your choices with a short paragraph explaining why each long-term goal will lead to problem/symptom decrease and lead to (hoped for) overall cessation of the issues.

· After each long-term goal, you will show a minimum of two measurable “Short-Term Goals/Objectives,” or how you will help the client meet the long-term goal. Again, a short paragraph explaining your reasoning for these goals is required. (Note that you will have a minimum of 4 short-term goals in total under each problem/symptom.)

· For an example of how this should look, refer to the “Treatment Plan Example” instructions for a better understanding.
