Hello Dr. Smith and Class,
All of the cases that are provided for the assignment it is very important to remain unbiased and understand the problems and concerns that each client is having.
Greg need help with overcoming an addiction. Clients that are battling with their addiction affects all areas of there lives, this includes there environment. To better help this client it is important to understand the clients back story and present circumstances in the environment this will allow you to be more effective in this case because you have detailed information. Clients who have a history of addiction remain in the same environment. Me being the social worker is is vital that i not only get him to beat his addiction by getting him sober but get him to a new environment so that he will remain sober. This will give Greg better opportunities to remain sober.
Valerie also struggles with addiction.: she also shows some signs of depression. Valerie is struggling with work and her hoe life she got a bad review and is overwhelmed with a lot of people. I would get more educated on the Indian culture this would give more insight as to why she reacts the ways she does and come with the best treatment plan for her.
I would give both Valerie and Greg a biopsychosocial assessment. I would also give them both a detailed assessment that pertains to addiction to she where there are in there own addiction. Also I would do an environmental assessment. This would also keep them responsible for getting and remaining sober.
Best Regards,
Clineesha
