Client System Christopher S is a 22 year old Caucasian male who voluntarily chose to attend the 31 day program at the Greenhouse American Addiction Center. The client was admitted to the facility dealing with opiate, cocaine, and alcohol use. His heavy drug use was compiled with feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression which stemmed from his childhood and adolescence. Over the course of his adolescence, he had many confrontations with the police and has now earned himself a pretty lengthy criminal background. He is currently facing many charges from forgery to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Christopher is about 5’5 with brown hair and brown eyes. Christopher reports “having a stable childhood only when he was living with his mother and stepfather, but he reports 8 years of molestation and abuse which was inflicted by his biological father which whom he had to visit in another state every summer” (personal communication, …show more content…

The client is currently dealing with many circumstances that seem to take priority over his recovery. He expressed his concerns about his legal issues and his fear of receiving an extensive prison sentence. Christopher has also not dealt with the issues that he harbors due to the sexual abuse he endured from his father. He has a rocky relationship with his biological father because his father shows no remorse for what he did to him. It is apparent that Christopher still yearns for the love and attention that he never received from his father. He has a good relationship with his mother and stepfather, his stepfather raised him since he was four years old. His drug use and criminal behavior have caused a rift in the relationships with the people who have been there for him.

  • Client Transfer Case Study

    If I had a man call me, and tell me that he was interested in transferring to me, I would keep the phone conversation relatively short, but would encourage him to set up an appointment with me. The reason I would have him come in, is simply because I prefer face-to-face interaction over phone interaction. When he would come in, I would sit down with him and discuss all of the potential risks and benefits of transferring his services. I would discuss with him why he feels as though his other therapist is not effective and what can be done to help in this situation. I would encourage him to have a conversation with his current therapist about how he was feeling about the progress and relationship that they had. Standard 3.06 (b) of the NASW Code of Ethics says that “if a new client has been served by another agency or colleague, social workers should discuss with the client

Recently, a member of my family realized his abuse of alcohol was a major problem to not only himself, but also to those around him. He would lose control of his temper and often would not even remember doing it the next day. Alcohol became a part of his daily life including work, home, and any other activities. His problem was that of a "hidden" and "high-society" alcoholism. When he was threatened with the loss of his job and the possibility of losing his family, this man knew it was time to get help. After he reached his lowest point, he took the first step towards recovery—admitting his problem.
