Problem Identification or Engagement
Identify the type of problem – drug addiction and its effects on Family members.(Janice Walker is at the center of problem)
Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community- substance abuse effects cost in the community in measurable ways including loss of productivity and unemployability; impairment in physical and mental health; reduced quality of life; increase violence; and Crime; abuse and neglect of children.
The community's general perception of the problem- the economic consequences of drug abuse severely burden federal , State, and local government resources, and the taxpayer.
The root cause of the problem- most often the cause of addiction is chronic stress, a history of trauma (PTSD), mental illness, lastly family history with addiction
Problem Identification/Engagement. The first step is to identify the type of problem the researcher is dealing with. Identify how the problem has affected the rest of the community and the community's general perception of the problem. The next step is to evaluate how the problem has affected the community or a client. Lastly, identify the root cause of the problem; where did the problem come from, or how did the victim get the problem they are facing.

Data Collection
Three major ways of collecting data from Clients are Interviews, Observation, and surveys
Interviews:
Engaging with the client one-on-one. Listening to client’s perspective of the problem
This method has ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, The Advocate can get the client's perception of the treatment
Observation:
It obtains data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments
The researcher can identify factors contributing to the Client's condition
Data collection. There are many ways to collect data from a client. Three major ways of collecting data from a client are Interviews, Observation, and First Extraction.
Interviews: The researcher can speak with the patient on a one-on-one basis. A researcher or a nurse can use this method because of its ability to untangle the individual's problem, emotions, background, and the general social context, which in this paper largely revolves around the family relationship (Cohen et al., 2017). This data collection method paves the way for a nurse to get the patient's perception of the treatment and some of the elements that motivated them to embrace treatment.
Observation: it is used to obtain data from clients by assessing the reaction to their respective environments. Observation methods allow the researcher to identify social dimensions and family background factors contributing to the patient's condition.

Data Collection cont’d
Surveys : Can discover the problem
Clients Family History background details of the clients are assessed.
Background information helps find the connection between the client’s addiction and their family structure.
Research Methods : In this method, the background details of the clients are assessed, for example, family members. Background information about the patient allows the researcher to know the connection between the patient’s problem and their family.

Assessment
The root cause of the problem- most often the cause of addiction is chronic stress, a history of trauma (PTSD), mental illness, lastly family history with addiction.
type of drug is heroin, cocaine , alcohol. And the frequency of use.
The goal will be to see the connection of the client’s problem and interaction with client environment.
Assess whether the environment is aiding the treatment plans of the Client
Long-term goal will focus on analyzing the efficiency of the proposed initiatives in solving the environmental dynamics
Short-term goals will incorporate the evaluation of program efficiency
Contract- mutually agreed on Goal (collateral Contract)
Assessment. In this stage, the social worker will try to connect or relate different environments or people to see the connection of the client’s problem with the people around them, for example, their family members. The social worker will also look at the interventions put in place and assess whether these interventions are working or not. After the research has seen the role of the environment toward the patient's problem, assess whether the environment is aiding the treatment plans of the client or it's making the situation even worse for the patient. The outcome the SW gets will determine long-term and short-term goals that will be set for the client. The long-term goal will focus on analyzing the efficiency of the proposed initiatives in solving the environmental dynamics. In contrast, the short-term goals will incorporate the evaluation of program efficiency and the available resources needed to implement the objectives. SW will focus strengths-based perspective, with careful attention to seeking information about client’s skills, capacities, resources, and other strengths.

Intervention
will includes self-directed behavior and self-management programs and psychotherapy method
self-directed behavior and self-management programs entail a personal initiative that requires the client to participate in the treatment plan
It includes five basic steps required to fully implement the program (S.W will monitor client's progress)
Psychotherapy method involves counseling which is the most critical feature in enhancing rehabilitation initiatives (Myrick & Del Vecchio, 2016)(
Individualized treatment makes clients feel more comfortable and well understood during treatments at Santa Maria.(clients can address to S.W any obstacles, any unsafe behaviors, or any cravings to use drugs
Intervention. This method may involve the following process: self-directed behavior and self-management programs and psychotherapy method. The self-directed behavior and self-management programs entail a personal initiative that requires the client to participate in the treatment plan. This approach paves the way for a patient to know how to tackle an issue by themselves. The five basic steps required to fully implement this program include; identification of goals that will result in positive behavior change, identifying the course of action needed to reach this goal, self-evaluation, actual implementation plan, and revising some of the needed changes to align with the program (Werb, et al., 2016). On the other hand, the psychotherapy method involves counseling which is the most critical feature in enhancing rehabilitation initiatives (Myrick & Del Vecchio, 2016) because of its ability to understand a broader image relating to each particular case. The individualized treatment makes patients feel more comfortable and well understood during treatments.

Evaluation
A client is examined to assess where they are in terms of the treatment (S.W discuss goal attainment,
An example is Mental State Examination and Subject Rating of Symptoms
Verbal and non-verbal responses can be noted from the patient
S.W evaluate /re-evaluate process, Re-evaluation may be used, then the results are compared. S.W will Consider the progress of the client; new goals could possibly be set.
Evaluation. In this process, a client is examined to assess where they are in terms of the treatment they have been receiving. There are various types of evaluation processes, one of them being Mental State Examination and Subject Rating of Symptoms. In the case of Mental State Examination and Subject Rating of Symptoms, verbal and non-verbal responses can be noted from the patient by a nurse. More than one evaluation process may be used, and then these evaluation processes are compared to witness a patient's progress.

Termination
Client is allowed to return back to their normal life (During this stage, the client reflects on her/his accomplishments, and client and social worker work together to identify community resources and supports in place to help the client should problems re-emerge).(AA)
A follow-up can be initiated to mark their progress
The patient can be transferred to another facility
A patient may decide that they still are not ready to be discharged
Termination. In this process, a patent is allowed to return back to their normal life after it has been concluded that he/she is ready and able to tackle their problems on their own. During the process, a follow-up can be initiated to mark the progress of a patient. If there is a need to treat the patient further, the patient can be transferred to another hands or facility. A patient may decide that they still are not ready to go to the outside world, which is very ok.
