ii. [Spectrum health services in Weymouth Ma.]

I called spectrum Weymouth inpatient and I spoke with Tatianna who is the clinical director there. Spectrum is a program for individuals from ages 18 and up. Spectrum is an adult treatment center for adult in need of services and mental health issues caused by trauma or past substance used. Spectrum is divided into three different programs inpatient, outpatient and the residential program called project turnabout. It is also branched out in different states. Spectrum provides services such as inpatient, outpatient to clients who are currently using substance used. Spectrum is known for its great services it provides to clients that come from different part of near by towns. Spectrum is open 7 days a week Monday through Friday providing services to client in need. The inpatient client is designed to service clients with substance use helping them with services such as counseling and 1:1 therapy session. They are also seen by a psychiatrist if necessary. Clients who attend the inpatient services are seen 3x a week by a clinician and are schedule to attend counseling along with 12 step programs to help with refraining from relapsing. After meeting with my client James, he was made aware of the importance of considering this program. Also, James was made aware that he will benefit from this program due to the services provided such as counseling and seeing a psychiatrist for any underline issues especially considering his recent marital status. Although he would greatly benefit from this program due to his past history of substance used according to the state, we as counselors cannot force individuals to participate in treatment. Although James may have a relationship with his previous wife as counselors according to the state, we cannot provide any information to his previous wife regarding his stay if he decided to do so. On a ethical stand point, although the clients safety is important Spectrum is not a locked down facility client can leave if they feel like they would like to pursue services elsewhere. Although spectrum provides counselors when clients decide to leave AMA (Against Medical Leave) a clinician will step in an educate client on their decision but are not allowed to block or force clients to remain in treatment against their own will. Due the laws in Massachusetts clients are to sign releases to provide information with a person of choice that a counselor can discuss their case with if they left treatment prior to completing and or court related such as probation or stipulated. As a counselor I will support my client and guide them in the right path. As a counselor it is my duty according to the ACA code of ethic to keep the client’s information confidential unless they allow me permission to share with a family member or loved one. According to the state of Massachusetts “Licensed Mental Health Counselors shall not communicate either verbally or in writing with others about a client without the client's express written consent, including any legal proceedings, except when the limits of confidentially may legally be invoked”.

iii. I contacted the Curahealth Hospital and I spoke with the director in charge of the mental health services program. Curahealth is a facility that is a lock down unit for individuals with mental health issues and psychiatric issues such as bulimia, binge eating, schizophrenia, bipolar and more. In this facility the use model is CBT and psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is used with clients to help them with a broad variety of mental illness and emotional difficulties. Especially in the facility dealing with clients who have used substance use who also have underlyning issues. Curahealth is divided into two department the first department is the psychiatric unit and clients normally stay for about 30 days. After each client complete their stay, they are assigned to a outpatient services for after care. During their stay they are seen by a case manager assigned to their case and a therapist. Each client has their own room and are encourages to attend mandatory groups on different topics related to their treatment. Clients are supervised 1:1 if necessary. Clients are also supervised by a charge nurse who provides medical care when needed. Curahealth is open 7 days a week Monday through Friday including weekends. Each therapist takes turns working weekend to ensure that a therapist is on cite if a crisis was to present itself. After talking to my client James, he was not interested in this facility due to the severity of differences. James was not comfortable with the idea of being in a lock down facility for 30 days. James stated that he feels that he does not need a 30-day lockdown care in order to prevent him from drinking. According to the state of Massachusetts a client has to be a threat to themselves and others in order to be put in a lockdown facility. James does not show any risk of hurting himself. On an ethical point James will need to agree to attend this treatment center. James cannot be forced to attend if he does not have any high risk of self-harm. Although he has a history of drinking excessively which could lead him to a high-risk James has to provide information and sign release in order to proceed further. It is my role as a counselor to support my client in any decision they have conclude on. As a counselor I will support my client and provide services that best fit and suit the help they need.

c. Outpatient

I contacted the outpatient services at New life counseling services, and I spoke with the head manager who oversees the mental health department. New life counseling wellness is a center for individuals with mental health services and looking to be seen by a therapist. Individuals are encouraged to attend at least three times a week their preferred time that suit them. Each client is seen by a professional LMHC in a private room where they discuss issues with their assigned counselor. Each counselor is mandated by the state of Massachusetts to maintain information form clients confidential. After each client feel like they reach a level where they no longer need a therapist, they are welcome back if they decided that they should be seen by one. “We are a multicultural organization that promotes the well-being of individuals, children, youths and families through high quality mental health and social services that are culturally competent such as counseling, support groups, advocacy, and education “(New life counseling wellness, 2021).

ii. [After speaking to my client as a counselor it is my duty to provide my client with resources that best suit him and his needs. James is a 45-year-old male who is currently going through a divorce and could possibly undergoing other underlining issues considered he has a history of substance use. This program is a voluntary program and clients are to attend on their own will. On an ethical point of view, clients are to sign a consent form if they wish to further share their experience with any loved one. According to the state of Massachusetts client’s information are to be confidential and not shared with anyone unless clients sign a release.

Per the ACA guidelines as counselors it is our duty to protect and provide appropriate resources to clients.

James a 45-year-old male who is currently undergoing family conflict with is previous wife will benefit from attending Tjocelyn. After speaking with James regarding the different services such as family therapy and counseling for marriage he believed it would be a best fit for him. Prior to proceeding James will complete an assessment with a counselor and complete a release form. James will not be pressured to attend counseling this is a voluntary program. Due to James dealing with both mental health and issues within his marriage a marriage counseling could be beneficial for an after care. During this time James should focus on his sobriety. As a counselor I can inform him regarding my concerns, but it is entirely up to him on the directions he takes, and I will be there to support.
