You are doing a rotation in the AOD unit. Your first client is Amy. You have below the information.
Amy (will be referred to as client too) is in her mid-30s and entering for treatment from a regional part of the state. Amy was referred by her workplace. She presented with substance use disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and Major depressive disorder. The client reported abusing substances at the young age of 11 and shortly progressed to Hallucinogens by the time she turned 13, later marijuana. Currently uses Alcohol.
Amys mother lives interstate and never got along. She was raised by her aunt (mothers sister) from the age of 10 who is very supportive. Amys father died by suicide when Amy was 10. Mother has a history of depression and left Victoria after her husbands death, she currently lives with her partner. Amy was bullied throughout primary and secondary school. Academically, she had difficulties and left school at the age of 14 years. Amy had a couple of serious relationships and is now married to Jarred (in 2019) who is 27 years now with 2 children (James -5 years and Thomas 2 years). Jarred works as a bricklayer.
The client was currently employed at a local market store working in the meat department where the client would often drink alcohol to get through the day. Her drinking history includes 1- 2 bottles of wine per day or -1 bottle of spirit per day, currently for the past 24 weeks, increasing to 2-3 bottles on weekends. The longest period of abstinence lasted 6 months and 3 weeks. Amys last drink was the day before admission. Amy had also a history of daily marijuana use, she stopped it one year ago as she cannot afford it and received multiple warnings from work. Amy presented with denial and poor insight into how the drug and alcohol contributed to her mental health.
Amy remains very guarded and resistant to change. Amy also reports occasional domestic violence from her husband. Amy reported that her husband Jarred also gets drunk on weekends and can be physically abusive when intoxicated (only at weekends). Amy stated that Jarred is normally very caring and supportive but hates her drinking issue.
Initially, Amys justification (cognitive distortion) for her alcohol use to function externally. she justified his alcohol use by his ability to maintain employment. And to control her anxiety. She self-reports that the primary factor resulting in her mental health decompensation is the combination of stress and trauma.
