Treatment Plan

EDCO 740

Addictions Case Study: Treatment Plan Example

EXAMPLE: Below is how each Treatment Plan level will need to look like:

Treatment Plan Problem/Symptom 1

Client exhibits symptoms of an eating disorder as manifested by binging, purging, hiding food, fluctuating weight, and labile moods.

Long-Term Goal 1

Client will reduce binging-purging behavior to less than once per week (Jones, 2019). This will also enable a decrease in much of the erratic behavior client has been experiencing, as well as the highs and lows of blood sugar problems and their effects on their body.

Short-Term Goal/Objective 1

Client will learn the alternative coping skill of writing in an Automatic Thoughts Log when she feels the desire to binge (Help for Eating Disorders.com, 2018). This is measured by the client bringing her log into the counseling sessions to discuss with the counselor each week.

Short-Term Goal/Objective 2

Client will learn to identify maladaptive, negative thoughts and how to replace them with more positive, adaptive thoughts (Ellis, 2006). This will be measured by the client demonstrating these new skills during counseling sessions and bringing in written homework that shows she is practicing these between sessions.

(NOTE: You are not required to have a citation after each goal, but if you do use a source, cite and reference it! Above just serves as examples. Remember that you do need seven sources!)

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
