Assignment:

Angela is an 18 year old female who is presently working on her GED while working at a local fast food restaurant. She lives with her stepsister in the same town as her mother and stepfather. She has not had contact with her biological father since she was 2 months old. While at work, her friends urged her to try crack and since she was offered it 1 year ago her life has changed significantly. She uses daily before, during, and after work and her mother has noticed that she has dropped in weight and is unable to consistently meet the responsibilities of work, home, and family. Angela is close with her mother and confided that she needs help. The only "problem" is that her stepfather is an active crack addict as well and cycles in and out of recovery networks as well as the jail system. Angela's mother fears that her daughter will fall into the same cycle.
