Q Using the case example from earlier in the chapter, as well as the Internet resources from SAMHSA and IRETA and the suggested reading from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment TIP Series 42, you will develop an integrated and comprehensive treatment approach to working with Leo. First, you will have to identify all components of treatment that would need to be addressed to benefit Leo. These may include medication management, addiction, vocational, peer connections, family, case management, etc. Then, discuss how to approach working with Leo as an integrated team. This learning assignment can either be completed as an individual written assignment or a group presentation, where each member of the group is responsible for bringing the expertise of their focus to the group’s development of an integrated approach. It is important to remember that, regardless of the assignment format, Leo should feel like the treatment is one holistic treatment approach, not splintered by discipline.
