Scenario
  David Schmidt is a 38 year old male who is originally from Hazleton,
Pennsylvania.    He is a Canadian citizen, and he relinquished his U.S.
citizenship in 2002. David is a university graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree
in English. In 2000, he was a journalist writing for the Outer Banks Sentinel,
a local newspaper in Manteo, North Carolina when he signed up to cover a
local carnival and its inhabitants. During his time researching as an active
employee of the carnival, he encountered a female named “Torchy” who was
a methamphetamine addict, using intravenously.         They formed a romantic
relationship and he began to use “recreationally” with her. Torchy died of an
overdose on 3/26/2006. From that point, David said he went downhill.
  He was brought into the Withdrawal Management Site (Detox) by the
Sudbury Regional Police on 12/19/2012 because he was intoxicated on
alcohol and found to be wandering in Bell Park, reported by a concerned
jogger. When confronted, David initially said he was looking for ducks to
feed (it was -28° outside that day); and then admitted that he had nowhere to
go and had been visiting a friend who no longer wished him to return to their
place of residence. He was cooperative with the police and there are no
further legal issues as he came of his own volition.
  During the initial interview, David admitted that he also used “crystal” and
lifted his sleeves to show the track marks. He appeared exhausted and stated
that he wanted to “crash here for a bit” and then discuss his treatment options.
He was admitted to treatment the same evening.


SueAnn Land                                                               Page 1
Statement of the Problem
  David is currently homeless and has no relatives or friends in Sudbury
with which to stay. He did not sleep for the first two days of detox.
Finally, he slept for approximately 12 hours. On the third evening of
detox he was noticed to be conversing with himself and he began to
“spar” boxing-style with an unknown, unseen person. He was agitated
and claimed that this person, “Charles” was watching him. He would
not specify why. It was agreed by the staff that a psychiatric consult
would be wise as the behaviour could be either methamphetamine-
induced psychosis while in withdrawal or possibly an unknown mental
illness. Methamphetamine addicts often report hearing voices and have
other types of hallucinations. (Hanson & Fleming, 2013)
  David will be given the CAGE, MAST, and ADAT questionnaires
over the next two weeks. We will research to see if there is a psychiatric
issue and if there is what treatment facility will be available with the
appropriate staff to address both the addiction and the mental illness.

Short-Term Objectives
  CAGE/MAST and ADAT Questionnaires
     The CAGE and MAST questionnaires were completed on 12/20/12.
  Both indicated that David has alcohol dependence. Because of the
  incident on the 22nd, we are requesting that David undergo a
  psychiatric assessment before further assessment. The holidays are
  preventing that happening until the 26th.
  Appointment on 12/26/2012 at Kirkwood with Dr. Soloman Nisaa.
     David’s appointment revealed that he has had paranoid ideations
  long before the use of methamphetamine. He spoke of entering the
  military at age 19 (1993) and being “voluntarily released” during boot
  camp. He was training and became convinced that the other soldiers
  in his troop had turned against him and were “hunting” him. He made
  references to the video game, “The Third World War”          (Wikipedia, 2012)

  and began calling them by nicknames he associated with his video and
  on-line playing group. He was interviewed by the staff psychiatrist
  and it was advised that he seek treatment. He declined at that time
  (1993) and there was not sufficient cause to hold him against his will.
  He was released from military service, instead.
     Dr. Nisaa prescribed a beginning dosage of Geodon (Ziprasidone) at
  20 mgs. twice a day with food.     (NIH Publication No. 08-3929, Revised 2008)

  David was given an initial intramuscular dosage of Geodon on
  12/22/12 at the emergency room at Health Sciences North.


SueAnn Land                                                               Page 3
(Micromedex™, Cerner Multum™, Wolters Kluwer™ and others, 2013)   The drug did
  not show any adverse side effects and was prescribed as initial
  treatment for schizophrenia. David is scheduled for on-going weekly
  appointments with Dr. Nisaa until he finds residential treatment.
  Group Therapy
     David has been participating in group at the detox and initially he
  was a reluctant participant – very quiet and shy. It was noted that he
  was a carnival barker in his addiction. He said that the psychotic
  episode on 12/22/12 scared him quite a bit. David expressed anger
  several days during group therapy and would often isolate afterward.
  Anger management was recommended.
  Anger Management
     David has been an active participant in the Anger Management
  course offered the week of 12/31/12–1/4/13.              He came to class
  prepared with his homework. During anger management, he said that
  his head hurt and frequently got headaches.             At the time, it was
  thought to be acute withdrawal and possibly emotional symptoms.
  David’s blood pressure was taken and it was 150/95. At this time it
  was inconclusive as to whether the new dosage of Geodon was
  responsible. He will be examined again by Dr. Nisaa on 12/28/12 to
  determine if he is not reacting well to the Geodon.         (Micromedex™, Cerner

  Multum™, Wolters Kluwer™ and others, 2013)

     David’s anger issues began in early childhood with a physically,
  emotionally and verbally abusive parent (father). They carried over

SueAnn Land                                                                 Page 4
into his relationships with women, most notably Torchy. David talked
  about physically abusing her and expressed guilt and remorse. He had
  to leave the group on the afternoon of 1/2/2013 because he was
  overcome with emotion. David met with an individual counsellor at
  that time.
  Early Psychosis Intervention Program
     David was not eligible for the Early Psychosis Intervention Program
  at Health Sciences North because he was 38 years old. The program
  is for the ages of 16-35 years old. (Health Sciences North, 2011)

Long-Term Objectives
  AA/NA Groups
     David attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous
  meetings while he was in treatment both on-site and off-site. He
  found a temporary sponsor and began to work, immediately, on the
  first three steps admitting powerlessness, recognizing the insanity of
  addiction, and beginning the process of faith in power greater than
  himself. It is recommended that he continue in a 12-step program –
  whether that is AA or NA.
  Treatment at Homewood
     David was accepted into treatment at Homewood on January 7,
  2013. He was entered into the IMAP (Integrated Mood and Anxiety
  Program) and will be treated for a period of 8 weeks.          Per their
  request, he was sent with a 21-day supply of both Geodon and
  Lisinopril.    (Homewood Health Centre, 2012)   His medications will be
  monitored by staff. David’s stay is in a ward bed provided by OHIP.
  Upon release, David has agreed that his medical records will be made
  available to the community health team responsible for monitoring his
  medications and continuing education/relapse prevention.      (Homewood

  Health Centre, 2012)

  Concurrent Disorders Program
     David’s projected discharge date from Homewood is March 4,
  2013. He said that he wants to return to Sudbury.           Because the


SueAnn Land                                                          Page 6
Concurrent Disorders service is for discharge planning and transitional
  case management for patients from Sudbury, they will be the ones
  doing the follow up treatment for David. (Health Sciences North, 2011)
  ACTT I and ACTT II
     There is a possibility that David will be referred to either the ACTI
  or the ACTII team upon the determination of the Concurrent
  Disorders Clinic. Usually, ACTT I and ACTT II are reserved for
  patients who require “client-centered highly individualized treatment,
  support and rehabilitation to people suffering from schizophrenia,
  schizo-affective or bipolar illness. The individuals served are adults
  (16 years or older) with the highest intensity of need due to complex,
  long-term, persistent symptoms.” (Health Sciences North, 2011)

Scoring the MAST Test
Score one point if you answered "no" to the following questions: 1 or 4. Score one point if you
answered "yes" to the following questions: 2, 3, 5 through 22. A total score of six or more
indicates hazardous drinking or alcohol dependence and further evaluation by a healthcare
professional is recommended.

   David scored a 9 on his MAST test, indicating a drinking dependence.

The CAGE Questionnaire (Mulhauser, 2012)

Patient Name: David Schmidt                                                     Date: 12/20/2012
Counsellor Name: SueAnn Land                                                     Program #: 888

Two “yes” responses indicate that the possibility of alcoholism should be investigated further.

  David had three “yes” responses on his CAGE questionnaire,
indicating a drinking dependence.

Relapse Prevention Strategies
  Support Groups
      David reported that he enjoyed the Saturday 10:30 a.m. AA
  meeting at the Kirkwood site. While this is an institutional meeting,
  and considered to be a Special Interest Group in AA, it is serving for
  the time being as a temporary home group for David.                     It is
  recommended for him to begin the 90 meetings in 90 days process
  when he is released from treatment.
      David has declined to find an NA group stating that he found his
  comfort level in AA, even with the addiction to methamphetamine.
  This concerned staff a bit – but it is his decision. It was recommended
  that if it becomes an issue, NA needs to be looked at again.
  Behavioural Interventions
      Staff feels that the week of Anger Management at the Withdrawal
  Management Site and the week(s) of the related program at
  Homewood will be sufficient for David at this time. Should any
  aggression or behavioural problems be noted, he will be immediately
  referred back into an anger management program as a requirement for
  continuing care. This will be monitored by the Concurrent Disorders
  Clinic.
  Cognitive Interventions
     David had several cognitive distortions.   (Renee Spencer, 2010)   One of
  them was the repeated statement “I have no friends.” In that statement


SueAnn Land                                                              Page 13
he was confirming to himself that he was not worthy of having
  friends. We did cognitive restructuring with the substitution of the
  words, “I am in the process of forming new friendships that will
  benefit my recovery.”     Another one was “I killed Torchy.”          He
  repeated that several times when he talked about Torchy’s overdose. I
  asked him if he actually put the needle in her arm and gave her the
  “bump.” He responded that he was not around at the time it happened
  but that it was his supply or crystal that she used and that they had
  been fighting at the time. We talked about this over the course of
  several one-on-one and group sessions. He began to say, instead: “I
  feel guilty that I wasn’t there when Torchy overdosed.” It is still a sad
  statement, but it is more in line with what actually happens when
  David speaks of her death. He is beginning to accept that Torchy’s
  overdose was not his doing.
     We have not worked on his on-going hallucinations of “Charles.”
  The administration of Geodon is relatively new and I am deferring to
  the psychiatrists to treat his diagnosed schizophrenia because I do not
  feel anywhere near qualified to do anything other than acknowledge to
  David that Charles is present and divert the conversation back to
  David and what’s happening with David.
     David also gets agitated when other people are “in his space.” He
  does not like close human contact and it is because he feels threatened
  by people. I asked him if he thinks that I am going to hurt him. He


SueAnn Land                                                          Page 14
replied that he didn’t. I countered with, “do you suppose there are
  others who would be near you and have no desire to harm you?” He
  said, “They are not you” and we let the subject drop. I can’t tell if the
  paranoia is feeding this statement; but I do not wish to agitate him
  further.
     He is beginning to understand that the cognitive distortion begins
  with a negative statement and that he can replace it with a positive
  statement. Further, that it is a part of the disease of addiction that
  negative precedes positive and the behavioural modification is that he
  consciously begins to differentiate the two before he opens his mouth
  to speak.
  Medications
      Geodon 20 mgs. 2 times a day w/food (schizophrenia) –
      prescribed on 12/22/12 and renewed on 12/26/12 by Dr. Soloman
      Nisaa.
      Lisinopril 5 mgs. 1 time a day (blood pressure) – began on
      12/28/12 due to frequent headaches, prescribed by Dr. Soloman
      Nisaa.
  Skills Training
      While at Homewood, David will participate in communication
  skills, anger management; and leisure, lifestyle balance and
  relationship workshops.     He also has the choice to participate in
  workshops for self-esteem, art therapy, psychodrama and process

groups. There are also recreational and leisure activities. All of these
  are small group settings (to avoid anxiety) and range from 6 to 12
  participants. (Homewood Health Centre, 2013)
  Counselling
      To counsel David, I chose two methods.              The Matrix Model,
  because I felt that with David’s low self-esteem and paranoia, rather
  than a confrontational approach, he needed to be nurtured and
  coached. “Over 2,500 methamphetamine addicts have been treated
  with The Matrix Model. The Matrix Model is an evidence-based
  outpatient treatment program with over 20 years of research and
  development.      It   is   proven     effective   in   the    treatment      of
  methamphetamine addicts.”         (Obert, Rawson, McCann, & Ling, 2013)   I also
  chose Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy because David has issues
  with interpersonal relationships with people and feels that he is “better
  off” alone rather than with a group of friends or family to support him.
  “Expressive Supportive Therapy incorporates three fundamental
  approaches: emotional expression, social support and cognitive
  management skills. Some of the features of supportive therapy are to
  create a state of gratification in the session, relieve pressure on the
  patient to talk, provide non-interpretive interventions, focus on
  conscious processes, engage in structured problem solving, provide
  guidance and advice, and offer praise.” (Deluca-Waack, 2004, p. 437)

The Matrix Model – Even though it is an outpatient treatment
  plan, we began the therapy while David was inpatient in preparation
  for his return to Sudbury and his discharge planning with the
  Concurrent Disorders Team. I have included an example of a Matrix
  session in the homework section of this treatment plan.
     Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy – We used supportive
  listening in group sessions at detox.       It was not a “hot-seat”
  environment and the patients were allowed to express themselves
  without criticism. When dissent occurred in the group, the patients
  were encouraged to express themselves in “I feel” statements instead
  of “you made me” statements. We discussed problem situations that
  might lead them to relapse like people, places and things. Then we
  discussed how to confront rather than avoid uncomfortable situations
  like having to excuse yourself if someone was using around you or
  offering you drugs or alcohol. We discussed the support of a 12-step
  program and how to interact with fellow members. We talked about
  relationships with the opposite (or same) sex and how to give yourself
  the opportunity of “no, thank you.” Gratitude lists were introduced
  and David’s list is included in his homework assignment section.

Homework
  Gratitude List – by David Schmidt dated 1/29/2012
  1. I am grateful that Charles is here with me because I am frightened.
  2. I am grateful for my counsellor, SueAnn, because I can talk to her
     and I don’t feel weird.
  3. I am grateful for Dr. Nisaa because I don’t like him, particularly,
     but I he talked with me about Charles and about seeing and hearing
     things that other people don’t. He told me it is a part of my brain
     chemistry and it can be controlled.
  4. I am grateful not to have to find crystal.
  5. I am grateful that the shakes are starting to go away.

Self-Monitoring Goal Setting
  “My counsellor told me that it was okay to dream and to begin to
  build a life for myself without drugs and alcohol. At first I thought
  she was kidding me and just trying to con me into something I may or
  may not want to do. I mean, I wanted to quit using – but I didn’t
  know if I wanted to stay sober. She explained to me that there is a
  difference between dry and sober. Dry means I quit using and don’t
  change anything else. Sober means I quit using and keep working
  toward a healthier life. Healthier meaning that I need to go to AA
  meetings, get a sponsor and work the steps. I’m a smart guy, I can
  usually do things all by myself and it bothers me that I’ve gotten so
  low that I have to ask for help and continue asking for help.
  Truthfully, I just don’t know what else to do. This treatment plan they
  have for me looks long. Eight weeks of treatment in Homewood –
  that’s a long time. But I’ve been told that it’s a nice area and the
  people are good.    I won’t be “locked up.”       I’m afraid about the
  schizophrenia and I’ve never taken medication for it so I don’t know if
  Charles will go away. He’s been with me for a long, long time. Even
  before I started the crystal and lost Torchy. I don’t know if I want to
  lose him too. We’ll see. I really like the AA meetings and the NA
  meetings are okay, too, although I’ll probably just to go AA. SueAnn
  says that I have to take it “one day a time” and for right now, I’m
  willing to do that.” – David Schmidt (1/5/2013)

  David insists that he no longer has any family or friends support and
  he is quite alone in this world. It is my hope that he decides to revise
  his answer later in treatment, if possible. At the time of this test,
  12/29/12 – his answers are recorded. He has a score of 1 for family
  and 1 for friends.

  • 3. Scenario David Schmidt is a 38 year old male who is originally from Hazleton, Pennsylvania. He is a Canadian citizen, and he relinquished his U.S. citizenship in 2002. David is a university graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in English. In 2000, he was a journalist writing for the Outer Banks Sentinel, a local newspaper in Manteo, North Carolina when he signed up to cover a local carnival and its inhabitants. During his time researching as an active employee of the carnival, he encountered a female named “Torchy” who was a methamphetamine addict, using intravenously. They formed a romantic relationship and he began to use “recreationally” with her. Torchy died of an overdose on 3/26/2006. From that point, David said he went downhill. He was brought into the Withdrawal Management Site (Detox) by the Sudbury Regional Police on 12/19/2012 because he was intoxicated on alcohol and found to be wandering in Bell Park, reported by a concerned jogger. When confronted, David initially said he was looking for ducks to feed (it was -28° outside that day); and then admitted that he had nowhere to go and had been visiting a friend who no longer wished him to return to their place of residence. He was cooperative with the police and there are no further legal issues as he came of his own volition. During the initial interview, David admitted that he also used “crystal” and lifted his sleeves to show the track marks. He appeared exhausted and stated that he wanted to “crash here for a bit” and then discuss his treatment options. He was admitted to treatment the same evening. SueAnn Land Page 1
  • 4. Statement of the Problem David is currently homeless and has no relatives or friends in Sudbury with which to stay. He did not sleep for the first two days of detox. Finally, he slept for approximately 12 hours. On the third evening of detox he was noticed to be conversing with himself and he began to “spar” boxing-style with an unknown, unseen person. He was agitated and claimed that this person, “Charles” was watching him. He would not specify why. It was agreed by the staff that a psychiatric consult would be wise as the behaviour could be either methamphetamine- induced psychosis while in withdrawal or possibly an unknown mental illness. Methamphetamine addicts often report hearing voices and have other types of hallucinations. (Hanson & Fleming, 2013) David will be given the CAGE, MAST, and ADAT questionnaires over the next two weeks. We will research to see if there is a psychiatric issue and if there is what treatment facility will be available with the appropriate staff to address both the addiction and the mental illness. SueAnn Land Page 2
  • 5. Short-Term Objectives CAGE/MAST and ADAT Questionnaires The CAGE and MAST questionnaires were completed on 12/20/12. Both indicated that David has alcohol dependence. Because of the incident on the 22nd, we are requesting that David undergo a psychiatric assessment before further assessment. The holidays are preventing that happening until the 26th. Appointment on 12/26/2012 at Kirkwood with Dr. Soloman Nisaa. David’s appointment revealed that he has had paranoid ideations long before the use of methamphetamine. He spoke of entering the military at age 19 (1993) and being “voluntarily released” during boot camp. He was training and became convinced that the other soldiers in his troop had turned against him and were “hunting” him. He made references to the video game, “The Third World War” (Wikipedia, 2012) and began calling them by nicknames he associated with his video and on-line playing group. He was interviewed by the staff psychiatrist and it was advised that he seek treatment. He declined at that time (1993) and there was not sufficient cause to hold him against his will. He was released from military service, instead. Dr. Nisaa prescribed a beginning dosage of Geodon (Ziprasidone) at 20 mgs. twice a day with food. (NIH Publication No. 08-3929, Revised 2008) David was given an initial intramuscular dosage of Geodon on 12/22/12 at the emergency room at Health Sciences North. SueAnn Land Page 3
  • 6. (Micromedex™, Cerner Multum™, Wolters Kluwer™ and others, 2013) The drug did not show any adverse side effects and was prescribed as initial treatment for schizophrenia. David is scheduled for on-going weekly appointments with Dr. Nisaa until he finds residential treatment. Group Therapy David has been participating in group at the detox and initially he was a reluctant participant – very quiet and shy. It was noted that he was a carnival barker in his addiction. He said that the psychotic episode on 12/22/12 scared him quite a bit. David expressed anger several days during group therapy and would often isolate afterward. Anger management was recommended. Anger Management David has been an active participant in the Anger Management course offered the week of 12/31/12–1/4/13. He came to class prepared with his homework. During anger management, he said that his head hurt and frequently got headaches. At the time, it was thought to be acute withdrawal and possibly emotional symptoms. David’s blood pressure was taken and it was 150/95. At this time it was inconclusive as to whether the new dosage of Geodon was responsible. He will be examined again by Dr. Nisaa on 12/28/12 to determine if he is not reacting well to the Geodon. (Micromedex™, Cerner Multum™, Wolters Kluwer™ and others, 2013) David’s anger issues began in early childhood with a physically, emotionally and verbally abusive parent (father). They carried over SueAnn Land Page 4
  • 7. into his relationships with women, most notably Torchy. David talked about physically abusing her and expressed guilt and remorse. He had to leave the group on the afternoon of 1/2/2013 because he was overcome with emotion. David met with an individual counsellor at that time. Early Psychosis Intervention Program David was not eligible for the Early Psychosis Intervention Program at Health Sciences North because he was 38 years old. The program is for the ages of 16-35 years old. (Health Sciences North, 2011) SueAnn Land Page 5
  • 8. Long-Term Objectives AA/NA Groups David attended Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings while he was in treatment both on-site and off-site. He found a temporary sponsor and began to work, immediately, on the first three steps admitting powerlessness, recognizing the insanity of addiction, and beginning the process of faith in power greater than himself. It is recommended that he continue in a 12-step program – whether that is AA or NA. Treatment at Homewood David was accepted into treatment at Homewood on January 7, 2013. He was entered into the IMAP (Integrated Mood and Anxiety Program) and will be treated for a period of 8 weeks. Per their request, he was sent with a 21-day supply of both Geodon and Lisinopril. (Homewood Health Centre, 2012) His medications will be monitored by staff. David’s stay is in a ward bed provided by OHIP. Upon release, David has agreed that his medical records will be made available to the community health team responsible for monitoring his medications and continuing education/relapse prevention. (Homewood Health Centre, 2012) Concurrent Disorders Program David’s projected discharge date from Homewood is March 4, 2013. He said that he wants to return to Sudbury. Because the SueAnn Land Page 6
  • 9. Concurrent Disorders service is for discharge planning and transitional case management for patients from Sudbury, they will be the ones doing the follow up treatment for David. (Health Sciences North, 2011) ACTT I and ACTT II There is a possibility that David will be referred to either the ACTI or the ACTII team upon the determination of the Concurrent Disorders Clinic. Usually, ACTT I and ACTT II are reserved for patients who require “client-centered highly individualized treatment, support and rehabilitation to people suffering from schizophrenia, schizo-affective or bipolar illness. The individuals served are adults (16 years or older) with the highest intensity of need due to complex, long-term, persistent symptoms.” (Health Sciences North, 2011) SueAnn Land Page 7
  • 10. Measurement Criteria David’s MAST Test is recorded here and his comments are listed and italicized. They were handwritten on the original. The MAST Test (About.com, 2013) Patient Name: David Schmidt Date: 12/20/2012 Counsellor Name: SueAnn Land Program #: 888 The MAST Test is a simple, self-scoring test that helps assess if you have a drinking problem. Answer yes or no to the following questions: 1. Do you feel you are a normal drinker? ("normal" is defined as drinking as much or less than most other people) ___ Yes _X_ No 2. Have you ever awakened the morning after drinking the night before and found that you could not remember a part of the evening? _X_ Yes ___ No 3. Does any near relative or close friend ever worry or complain about your drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No (I don’t have any close friends anymore.) 4. Can you stop drinking without difficulty after one or two drinks? _X_ Yes ___ No (I didn’t have problems with the alcohol as much as I did with the crystal.) 5. Do you ever feel guilty about your drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No (The only one I’m hurting is me, right?) 6. Have you ever attended a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)? ___ Yes _X_ No (I think AA is a con job for Jesus.) 7. Have you ever gotten into physical fights when drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No 8. Has drinking ever created problems between you and a near relative or close friend? ___ Yes _X_ No (Like I said, no friends…no problem.) SueAnn Land Page 8
  • 11. 9. Has any family member or close friend gone to anyone for help about your drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No 10. Have you ever lost friends because of your drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No (Okay… maybe a yes.) 11. Have you ever gotten into trouble at work because of drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No (I got fired from the Show for being passed out when it opened.) 12. Have you ever lost a job because of drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No (See above.) 13. Have you ever neglected your obligations, family, or work for two or more days in a row because you were drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No (Isn’t this the same question?) 14. Do you drink before noon fairly often? ___ Yes _X_ No (I’m still asleep, if I’m sleeping.) 15. Have you ever been told you have liver trouble, such as cirrhosis? ___ Yes _X_ No 16. After heavy drinking, have you ever had delirium tremens (DTs), severe shaking, visual or auditory (hearing) hallucinations? _X_ Yes ___ No (I hear things all the time, especially when Buddy is around. He doesn’t know when to shut up.) 17. Have you ever gone to anyone for help about your drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No 18. Have you ever been hospitalized because of drinking? ___ Yes _X_ No 19. Has your drinking ever resulted in your being hospitalized in a psychiatric ward? ___ Yes _X_ No (I am NOT crazy, I just have a problem with bumping crystal.) 20. Have you ever gone to any doctor, social worker, clergyman, or mental health clinic for help with any emotional problem in which drinking was part of the problem? _X_ Yes ___ No (I went to a Padre one time when we were in Kearney, New Jersey. He was cool.) SueAnn Land Page 9
  • 12. 21. Have you been arrested more than once for driving under the influence of alcohol? ___ Yes _X_ No (Never been arrested; but the cops brought me here.) 22. Have you ever been arrested, or detained by an official for a few hours, because of other behaviour while drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No (See above.) Scoring the MAST Test Score one point if you answered "no" to the following questions: 1 or 4. Score one point if you answered "yes" to the following questions: 2, 3, 5 through 22. A total score of six or more indicates hazardous drinking or alcohol dependence and further evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended. David scored a 9 on his MAST test, indicating a drinking dependence. The CAGE Questionnaire (Mulhauser, 2012) Patient Name: David Schmidt Date: 12/20/2012 Counsellor Name: SueAnn Land Program #: 888 1. Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No 2. Have people annoyed you by criticising your drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No 3. Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? _X_ Yes ___ No 4. Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover (eye-opener)? ___ Yes _X_ No Two “yes” responses indicate that the possibility of alcoholism should be investigated further. David had three “yes” responses on his CAGE questionnaire, indicating a drinking dependence. SueAnn Land Page 10

  • 15. Relapse Prevention Strategies Support Groups David reported that he enjoyed the Saturday 10:30 a.m. AA meeting at the Kirkwood site. While this is an institutional meeting, and considered to be a Special Interest Group in AA, it is serving for the time being as a temporary home group for David. It is recommended for him to begin the 90 meetings in 90 days process when he is released from treatment. David has declined to find an NA group stating that he found his comfort level in AA, even with the addiction to methamphetamine. This concerned staff a bit – but it is his decision. It was recommended that if it becomes an issue, NA needs to be looked at again. Behavioural Interventions Staff feels that the week of Anger Management at the Withdrawal Management Site and the week(s) of the related program at Homewood will be sufficient for David at this time. Should any aggression or behavioural problems be noted, he will be immediately referred back into an anger management program as a requirement for continuing care. This will be monitored by the Concurrent Disorders Clinic. Cognitive Interventions David had several cognitive distortions. (Renee Spencer, 2010) One of them was the repeated statement “I have no friends.” In that statement SueAnn Land Page 13
  • 16. he was confirming to himself that he was not worthy of having friends. We did cognitive restructuring with the substitution of the words, “I am in the process of forming new friendships that will benefit my recovery.” Another one was “I killed Torchy.” He repeated that several times when he talked about Torchy’s overdose. I asked him if he actually put the needle in her arm and gave her the “bump.” He responded that he was not around at the time it happened but that it was his supply or crystal that she used and that they had been fighting at the time. We talked about this over the course of several one-on-one and group sessions. He began to say, instead: “I feel guilty that I wasn’t there when Torchy overdosed.” It is still a sad statement, but it is more in line with what actually happens when David speaks of her death. He is beginning to accept that Torchy’s overdose was not his doing. We have not worked on his on-going hallucinations of “Charles.” The administration of Geodon is relatively new and I am deferring to the psychiatrists to treat his diagnosed schizophrenia because I do not feel anywhere near qualified to do anything other than acknowledge to David that Charles is present and divert the conversation back to David and what’s happening with David. David also gets agitated when other people are “in his space.” He does not like close human contact and it is because he feels threatened by people. I asked him if he thinks that I am going to hurt him. He SueAnn Land Page 14
  • 17. replied that he didn’t. I countered with, “do you suppose there are others who would be near you and have no desire to harm you?” He said, “They are not you” and we let the subject drop. I can’t tell if the paranoia is feeding this statement; but I do not wish to agitate him further. He is beginning to understand that the cognitive distortion begins with a negative statement and that he can replace it with a positive statement. Further, that it is a part of the disease of addiction that negative precedes positive and the behavioural modification is that he consciously begins to differentiate the two before he opens his mouth to speak. Medications Geodon 20 mgs. 2 times a day w/food (schizophrenia) – prescribed on 12/22/12 and renewed on 12/26/12 by Dr. Soloman Nisaa. Lisinopril 5 mgs. 1 time a day (blood pressure) – began on 12/28/12 due to frequent headaches, prescribed by Dr. Soloman Nisaa. Skills Training While at Homewood, David will participate in communication skills, anger management; and leisure, lifestyle balance and relationship workshops. He also has the choice to participate in workshops for self-esteem, art therapy, psychodrama and process SueAnn Land Page 15
  • 18. groups. There are also recreational and leisure activities. All of these are small group settings (to avoid anxiety) and range from 6 to 12 participants. (Homewood Health Centre, 2013) Counselling To counsel David, I chose two methods. The Matrix Model, because I felt that with David’s low self-esteem and paranoia, rather than a confrontational approach, he needed to be nurtured and coached. “Over 2,500 methamphetamine addicts have been treated with The Matrix Model. The Matrix Model is an evidence-based outpatient treatment program with over 20 years of research and development. It is proven effective in the treatment of methamphetamine addicts.” (Obert, Rawson, McCann, & Ling, 2013) I also chose Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy because David has issues with interpersonal relationships with people and feels that he is “better off” alone rather than with a group of friends or family to support him. “Expressive Supportive Therapy incorporates three fundamental approaches: emotional expression, social support and cognitive management skills. Some of the features of supportive therapy are to create a state of gratification in the session, relieve pressure on the patient to talk, provide non-interpretive interventions, focus on conscious processes, engage in structured problem solving, provide guidance and advice, and offer praise.” (Deluca-Waack, 2004, p. 437) SueAnn Land Page 16
  • 19. The Matrix Model – Even though it is an outpatient treatment plan, we began the therapy while David was inpatient in preparation for his return to Sudbury and his discharge planning with the Concurrent Disorders Team. I have included an example of a Matrix session in the homework section of this treatment plan. Supportive-Expressive Psychotherapy – We used supportive listening in group sessions at detox. It was not a “hot-seat” environment and the patients were allowed to express themselves without criticism. When dissent occurred in the group, the patients were encouraged to express themselves in “I feel” statements instead of “you made me” statements. We discussed problem situations that might lead them to relapse like people, places and things. Then we discussed how to confront rather than avoid uncomfortable situations like having to excuse yourself if someone was using around you or offering you drugs or alcohol. We discussed the support of a 12-step program and how to interact with fellow members. We talked about relationships with the opposite (or same) sex and how to give yourself the opportunity of “no, thank you.” Gratitude lists were introduced and David’s list is included in his homework assignment section.

I am grateful for my counsellor, SueAnn, because I can talk to her and I don’t feel weird. 3. I am grateful for Dr. Nisaa because I don’t like him, particularly, but I he talked with me about Charles and about seeing and hearing things that other people don’t. He told me it is a part of my brain chemistry and it can be controlled. 4. I am grateful not to have to find crystal. 5. I am grateful that the shakes are starting to go away.

  • 22. Self-Monitoring Goal Setting “My counsellor told me that it was okay to dream and to begin to build a life for myself without drugs and alcohol. At first I thought she was kidding me and just trying to con me into something I may or may not want to do. I mean, I wanted to quit using – but I didn’t know if I wanted to stay sober. She explained to me that there is a difference between dry and sober. Dry means I quit using and don’t change anything else. Sober means I quit using and keep working toward a healthier life. Healthier meaning that I need to go to AA meetings, get a sponsor and work the steps. I’m a smart guy, I can usually do things all by myself and it bothers me that I’ve gotten so low that I have to ask for help and continue asking for help. Truthfully, I just don’t know what else to do. This treatment plan they have for me looks long. Eight weeks of treatment in Homewood – that’s a long time. But I’ve been told that it’s a nice area and the people are good. I won’t be “locked up.” I’m afraid about the schizophrenia and I’ve never taken medication for it so I don’t know if Charles will go away. He’s been with me for a long, long time. Even before I started the crystal and lost Torchy. I don’t know if I want to lose him too. We’ll see. I really like the AA meetings and the NA meetings are okay, too, although I’ll probably just to go AA. SueAnn says that I have to take it “one day a time” and for right now, I’m willing to do that.” – David Schmidt (1/5/2013) SueAnn Land Page 20
