\n Case Study Analysis CCMH\/561 Version 3 University of Phoenix Material Case Study Analysis Case Study Overview One of the best ways to learn is by using a dramatic experience, followed by reflective analysis. Case studies are designed to help counselors examine situations carefully, make initial assessments, and formulate hypothetical treatment plans. Case studies provide an appreciation of the complexity of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. It is a way to determine if the knowledge and skills the students are studying can be applied in a hypothetical case setting. The cases themselves are composites of actual client cases or events. All the names of the actual cases have been changed, and only first names are used. Any relationship to actual people or events is purely coincidental. Read the case studies individually and then discuss your reactions and interpretations with your Learning Team members. Keys to Reading and Analyzing Case Studies Read and interpret only the given information. Do not make up information not found in the case study text. If the case states someone is drinking alcohol, do not imply they are also doing cocaine if it has not been mentioned elsewhere. Use only the given information. If you think a question was not asked, you can say, \u201cI would want to ask him or her,\u201d but do not fill in their answer. Realize there may be no definitive or correct answer, but there may be some responses that are more appropriate than others based on the limited information provided. Think of the person in each case as a real client sitting in front of you asking for help, and approach the case from several levels. View each case from the different course-related etiological perspectives you have been studying and consider the different clinical issues that might be involved. Think about other resources and referrals this person and his or her family members might require. Determine if there are other risk factors or other information that could be dangerous to the client, family members, or others. Remember that an initial diagnosis or assessment and treatment plan can only be based on what is presented and determined at any given time and may likely need to be revised over time. Case Studies Case 1: Alan Alan is a 25-year-old African American Army veteran who is introducing himself to you at the Veterans Hospital. He has been back home for 3 months after returning from his second 1-year tour of duty in Iraq, where he was in an infantry company in charge of maintaining security for local citizens.

Case 3: Tommy Tommy is a 45-year old Caucasian male who ruptured a disc in his back while at work over five years ago. After failing to improve through physical rehabilitation, Tommy received a spinal fusion surgery which joined two of his vertebrae together. After Tommy\u2019s injury he received a prescription for a acetaminophen\/hydrocodone at 300 mg\/5 mg. However. Tommy indicated that his pain levels continued to escalate. His prescription was increased to 300 mg\/7.5 mg after 6 months. Post surgery, Tommy continued to complain of escalating pain and his prescription was increased to 300mg\/10mg. At one year post surgery, Tommy continued to request increases in his prescription and his physician determined that Tommy had developed an opioid dependence. The physician refused to increase the prescription and referred Tommy to a substance abuse provider. Instead of seeking help, Tommy began to look for ways to supplement his prescription. He discovered that he was able to purchase heroin and that the injections provided him with pain relief. Tommy began with 300 mcg dosages of heroin injected into his body but quickly increased the dosages and his dependence upon the drug. Eventually Tommy became homeless and was arrested for breaking and entering. He has been referred to you for a mandated substance abuse assessment from the courts. Tommy has been living in a shelter. He reported using heroin three times per day and that his last injection was 12 hours ago. Questions What would be your initial diagnostic impression of this case?
