Group Sessions
Group sessions are a common part of treating addiction, whether the sessions are clinical or support group in nature.
On the basis of your knowledge on group sessions and group treatment, discuss the following:
• What is your view of the value of group treatment? Support your answer with reasons.
• Explain a situation in which group treatment would be contraindicated. Support your response with references, texts, articles, or experience.
The Family Component
Addictions treatment programs often include a family component. In light of this statement, what do you think is the value of including the family in the treatment of addicts and alcoholics? Support your opinion with references, texts, articles, or experiences.
Evaluation Criteria for Discussion Question Response:

Support Group Activity
Often treatment plans for alcoholics and addicts emphasize the need for ongoing support group activity and require that the clients attend 90 meetings in 90 days.
Do you think 12-step groups are necessary in the treatment for alcoholics and addicts? Why or why not? Support your opinion with references, texts, articles, or experience.
Assignment : Course Project Task III: Discussion and Future Recommendations
I have attached the literate review that was completed. In the Discussion section, interpret and analyze how the Literature Review relates to the problem addressed in your Introduction. Organize your Discussion section so that it flows logically from your Literature Review and the statement of problem in your Introduction.
For your Discussion section:
• Identify what you have found in the literature about your chosen problem.
• Sort through the relevant information, and synthesize it into a concise but thorough discussion.
• Summarize any relevant research findings from the literature.
• Follow APA guidelines for writing and citing text.
For finalizing your Discussion section, interpret, synthesize, analyze the findings in your Literature Review, and address the following:
• Discuss how the literature relates to the problem you identified.
• Explain whether your Literature Review offers a new way of looking at the problem or helps you understand the problem in a way that you didn't before.
• Does the literature identify further questions that need to be studied? If yes what?
In the Future Recommendations section, summarize your findings and make recommendations for future study. As with the other sections, logically tie your Summary and Future Recommendations to your Introduction, Literature Review, and Discussion.
In writing your Summary, strongly support your findings. Discuss whether future research is needed to address the problem. If yes recommend a direction for the research. If no provide reasons to support your answer.
Write your Discussion and Future Recommendations sections in one- to two-pages in Microsoft Word document format.
