Case study client information and presenting problem
Identify the client (gender, age, race, profession).
Identify the addiction that this client presents with.
Does he have a substance addiction, like alcohol, prescription drugs, or illicit drugs?
Does he have a process addiction, like gambling, video gaming, or shopping?
Assessment
Identify the physiological procedure the client uses for administration of his addiction (oral, injection, watching videos, phone calls).
Describe the type of environment in which the client spends his time.
Is there support within the family?
Does the client hang around with friends who are using addictive substances?
Is the client working for a company where his addiction is encouraged?
What is the client's philosophical stand about his addiction?
What is his motivation level for getting help?
Is there a sense of hope or hopelessness?
Addiction information
Provide the history of the addiction. (Is it a substance or process addiction?)

Differentiate between the physiological and psychological effects of the addiction.
Does the addiction physiologically affect the subject's behaviors and mental processes? If so, how?
Does the addiction psychologically affect the subject's behaviors and mental processes? If so, how?

4-3 Prevention Program: Continue Work
Consider the funding sources and the marketing aspects for your prevention program. Research some sources that could provide funding or material for your use. For example, SAMHSA provides at little to no cost information, pamphlets, and kits for a wide range of addictions. What could you use to provide material for your prevention program? What are some additional options for getting your program visible?
Examples:
Facebook
Social media
Community fundraisers
Block party
Community carwash
