Question

Answer one of these questions for your Case Study Assignment:

Tina's brother, Emmett, resorted to drugs and alcohol to drown his sorrow after their dad left their mother. The local inner-city high school had its share of dealers and Emmett's will power was nil. While weed (cannabis, marijuana, and pot) was Emmett's initial drug of choice, his substance use later led him to having a heroin addiction. Now "out of the closet" as a gay man, Emmett also was introduced to the club/party drugs of ecstasy and crystal meth. Emmett's mom and sister are heartbroken as they watch him maintain his addiction despite some brief stints in drug rehab and attendance at local AA meetings. Emmett's sponsor through AA uses "tough love"--a mix of encouragement and challenge--to help Emmett stay on his path to and through recovery.

1. With the help of a social worker, how might family members intervene to help Emmett recover and maintain his sobriety? How might they benefit personally from social work services as well?
