    Neivis Socorro Garcia

    Harriet Needs Surgery
    I am located in Miami, Florida. In this case, Harriet is a 51-year-old married woman with a

    history of alcohol and cocaine use disorder who has been in remission for the past four years.
    She has been regularly attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA),
    and she denies any current cravings. However, she now needs carpal tunnel surgery, and the use
    of oxycodone during recovery is concerning because of her past substance use history. This
    situation is important to approach carefully to reduce the risk of relapse.

    During the first visit, the most important information to collect would include a detailed
    substance use history, especially past triggers, relapse patterns, and coping strategies that have
    helped her stay sober. It is also important to assess her current emotional state, including any
    anxiety about the surgery or fear of relapse. The provider should explore her support system,
    including her spouse, AA/NA involvement, and whether she has a sponsor or close support
    network. Understanding how she feels about taking pain medication, especially opioids, is also
    very important. Screening for depression, anxiety, and relapse risk should be included, since
    medical stress can increase vulnerability even in patients who have been stable for years.

    The main goal of treatment is to prevent relapse while still managing her pain safely.
    According to current guidelines, patients with a history of substance use disorder should be
    prescribed the lowest effective dose of opioids for the shortest time possible, along with close
    monitoring and the use of non-opioid pain management when possible (Substance Abuse and
    Mental Health Services Administration, 2020). Family involvement is also very important. The
    goal is to help the family recognize early warning signs of relapse, support Harriet, and
    encourage accountability. Open communication and strong coping strategies within the family
    can help lower the risk of relapse during this stressful period.

    In group therapy, different curative factors can be seen in each phase. In the initial phase,
    instillation of hope is important, as Harriet can see others who have gone through similar
    situations and remained stable. In the middle phase, universality helps her realize she is not alone
    in her fears, which can reduce feelings of isolation. In the termination phase, interpersonal
    learning becomes important, as she reflects on what she has learned and how she can continue
    applying these skills after treatment.

    In Miami, Florida, there are several agencies that can support Harriet. One option is New
    Beginnings Recovery Center, which provides support for individuals in recovery and can help
    reinforce relapse prevention during recovery from surgery. Another is Jackson Behavioral Health
    Hospital, which offers mental health and substance use services, including outpatient care. A
    third option is The Recovery Village Miami at Baptist Health, which provides structured
    programs focused on relapse prevention and ongoing support.

    These agencies were chosen because they offer a combination of mental health care,
    substance use support, and counseling services. Having access to these resources can help
    Harriet stay stable during recovery and reduce the chances of relapse.

    Overall, Harriet’s case shows how important it is to balance pain management with relapse
    prevention. With proper support, monitoring, and family involvement, she can go through
    surgery safely while maintaining her sobriety.

    Arlette Del Pino Vento

    Harriet is a 51-year-old woman who has maintained sobriety from alcohol and cocaine for
    the past four years, which is a significant strength. The clinical situation becomes more
    complicated because the patient needs carpal tunnel surgery which requires postoperative pain
    medications that include oxycodone. The first group visit requires information about her relapse
    risk and her current coping strategies to be evaluated as the primary data for assessment. The
    process requires her to share information about her substance use history and the factors that
    trigger her addiction and the methods she used to achieve sobriety. It is also important to
    understand how she feels about taking opioid medication, whether she feels confident, anxious,
    or unsure, and whether she has a relapse prevention plan in place. Additionally, evaluating her
    psychiatric stability, current stressors, support system, and any prior experience with prescribed
    opioids is essential. Wakeman et al. (2020) emphasize that identifying both risk and protective
    factors is key when managing pain in patients with a history of substance use.

    The primary goal in addressing Harriet’s family related concerns is to strengthen her
    support system while minimizing relapse risk. U.S. clinical guidelines support involving family
    members in a way that promotes recovery without enabling harmful behaviors. In Harriet’s
    situation, her spouse can provide emotional support, help monitor medication use if appropriate,
    and reinforce healthy coping strategies. At the same time, it is important to maintain clear
    boundaries so that Harriet retains responsibility for her recovery. The goal is to improve
    communication, reduce stress within the home, and create a supportive environment that
    prioritizes sobriety. According to SAMHSA (2021), appropriate family involvement can improve
    outcomes and help sustain long-term recovery.

    Group therapy can offer Harriet meaningful support throughout each phase of treatment.
    The initial phase of the process requires universal healing elements to achieve their maximum
    effect. When people who have experienced the same issues as Harriet speak about their battle
    with addiction and need for medical help she discovers comfort in their shared experience. The
    ability to connect with others creates a calming effect that helps people feel less anxious and
    work together. The second phase of the process enables people to acquire knowledge through
    their interactions with others. Through his practice sessions Harriet will learn to voice her needs
    while receiving constructive criticism on her performance and developing effective stress
    management techniques. The current phase enables individuals to develop through collective
    activities while they enhance their understanding of themselves. The final phase of the process
    requires participants to focus on their achievements while they develop their self-assurance.
    Harriet uses her current position to evaluate her achievements while she builds better coping
    mechanisms to help her sustain her recovery process. Research studies on group psychotherapy
    demonstrate that these therapeutic factors receive strong validation (Yalom & Leszcz, 2020).

    I am located in Miami, Florida, and three local agencies that could support Harriet include
    Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, New Hope CORPS, and South Miami Hospital Addiction
    Treatment Services. The selected agencies deliver complete healthcare services which treat
    patients who suffer from both mental health disorders and substance use disorders. Jackson
    Behavioral Health Hospital offers a wide range of outpatient and inpatient services, making it a
    strong option if Harriet needs additional support. New Hope CORPS provides its primary focus
    to help people recover from addiction while preventing them from relapsing, which fits her long-
    term sobriety needs. South Miami Hospital Addiction Treatment Services provides medically
    integrated care, which is especially beneficial given her need for coordinated surgical and pain
    management.

    Overall, Harriet’s case highlights the importance of balancing effective pain management
    with relapse prevention. With a thorough assessment, supportive family involvement, group
    therapy, and access to local resources, Harriet can safely navigate her recovery while maintaining
    her sobriety.

    and cocaine are a natural part of his manic episodes. He also notes that coming off the cocaine
    and binge drinking contribute to low mood, but he has not responded well to referrals to AA and
    past inpatient stays have led to only temporary abstinence. Yet, Richard is now trying to forge a
    closer relationship with his adult children, and he says he is especially motivated to get a better

    Harriet Needs Surgery
    I am located in Miami, Florida. In this case, Harriet is a 51-year-old married woman with a

    history of alcohol and cocaine use disorder who has been in remission for the past four years.
    She has been regularly attending Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA),
    and she denies any current cravings. However, she now needs carpal tunnel surgery, and the use
    of oxycodone during recovery is concerning because of her past substance use history. This
    situation is important to approach carefully to reduce the risk of relapse.

    During the first visit, the most important information to collect would include a detailed
    substance use history, especially past triggers, relapse patterns, and coping strategies that have
    helped her stay sober. It is also important to assess her current emotional state, including any
    anxiety about the surgery or fear of relapse. The provider should explore her support system,
    including her spouse, AA/NA involvement, and whether she has a sponsor or close support
    network. Understanding how she feels about taking pain medication, especially opioids, is also
    very important. Screening for depression, anxiety, and relapse risk should be included, since
    medical stress can increase vulnerability even in patients who have been stable for years.

    The main goal of treatment is to prevent relapse while still managing her pain safely.
    According to current guidelines, patients with a history of substance use disorder should be
    prescribed the lowest effective dose of opioids for the shortest time possible, along with close
    monitoring and the use of non-opioid pain management when possible (Substance Abuse and
    Mental Health Services Administration, 2020). Family involvement is also very important. The
    goal is to help the family recognize early warning signs of relapse, support Harriet, and
    encourage accountability. Open communication and strong coping strategies within the family
    can help lower the risk of relapse during this stressful period.

    In group therapy, different curative factors can be seen in each phase. In the initial phase,
    instillation of hope is important, as Harriet can see others who have gone through similar
    situations and remained stable. In the middle phase, universality helps her realize she is not alone
    in her fears, which can reduce feelings of isolation. In the termination phase, interpersonal
    learning becomes important, as she reflects on what she has learned and how she can continue
    applying these skills after treatment.

    In Miami, Florida, there are several agencies that can support Harriet. One option is New
    Beginnings Recovery Center, which provides support for individuals in recovery and can help
    reinforce relapse prevention during recovery from surgery. Another is Jackson Behavioral Health
    Hospital, which offers mental health and substance use services, including outpatient care. A
    third option is The Recovery Village Miami at Baptist Health, which provides structured
    programs focused on relapse prevention and ongoing support.

    These agencies were chosen because they offer a combination of mental health care,
    substance use support, and counseling services. Having access to these resources can help
    Harriet stay stable during recovery and reduce the chances of relapse.

    Overall, Harriet’s case shows how important it is to balance pain management with relapse
    prevention. With proper support, monitoring, and family involvement, she can go through
    surgery safely while maintaining her sobriety.

    Arlette Del Pino Vento

    Harriet is a 51-year-old woman who has maintained sobriety from alcohol and cocaine for
    the past four years, which is a significant strength. The clinical situation becomes more
    complicated because the patient needs carpal tunnel surgery which requires postoperative pain
    medications that include oxycodone. The first group visit requires information about her relapse
    risk and her current coping strategies to be evaluated as the primary data for assessment. The
    process requires her to share information about her substance use history and the factors that
    trigger her addiction and the methods she used to achieve sobriety. It is also important to
    understand how she feels about taking opioid medication, whether she feels confident, anxious,
    or unsure, and whether she has a relapse prevention plan in place. Additionally, evaluating her
    psychiatric stability, current stressors, support system, and any prior experience with prescribed
    opioids is essential. Wakeman et al. (2020) emphasize that identifying both risk and protective
    factors is key when managing pain in patients with a history of substance use.

    The primary goal in addressing Harriet’s family related concerns is to strengthen her
    support system while minimizing relapse risk. U.S. clinical guidelines support involving family
    members in a way that promotes recovery without enabling harmful behaviors. In Harriet’s
    situation, her spouse can provide emotional support, help monitor medication use if appropriate,
    and reinforce healthy coping strategies. At the same time, it is important to maintain clear
    boundaries so that Harriet retains responsibility for her recovery. The goal is to improve
    communication, reduce stress within the home, and create a supportive environment that
    prioritizes sobriety. According to SAMHSA (2021), appropriate family involvement can improve
    outcomes and help sustain long-term recovery.

    Group therapy can offer Harriet meaningful support throughout each phase of treatment.
    The initial phase of the process requires universal healing elements to achieve their maximum
    effect. When people who have experienced the same issues as Harriet speak about their battle
    with addiction and need for medical help she discovers comfort in their shared experience. The
    ability to connect with others creates a calming effect that helps people feel less anxious and
    work together. The second phase of the process enables people to acquire knowledge through
    their interactions with others. Through his practice sessions Harriet will learn to voice her needs
    while receiving constructive criticism on her performance and developing effective stress
    management techniques. The current phase enables individuals to develop through collective
    activities while they enhance their understanding of themselves. The final phase of the process
    requires participants to focus on their achievements while they develop their self-assurance.
    Harriet uses her current position to evaluate her achievements while she builds better coping
    mechanisms to help her sustain her recovery process. Research studies on group psychotherapy
    demonstrate that these therapeutic factors receive strong validation (Yalom & Leszcz, 2020).

    I am located in Miami, Florida, and three local agencies that could support Harriet include
    Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, New Hope CORPS, and South Miami Hospital Addiction
    Treatment Services. The selected agencies deliver complete healthcare services which treat
    patients who suffer from both mental health disorders and substance use disorders. Jackson
    Behavioral Health Hospital offers a wide range of outpatient and inpatient services, making it a
    strong option if Harriet needs additional support. New Hope CORPS provides its primary focus
    to help people recover from addiction while preventing them from relapsing, which fits her long-
    term sobriety needs. South Miami Hospital Addiction Treatment Services provides medically
    integrated care, which is especially beneficial given her need for coordinated surgical and pain
    management.

    Overall, Harriet’s case highlights the importance of balancing effective pain management
    with relapse prevention. With a thorough assessment, supportive family involvement, group
    therapy, and access to local resources, Harriet can safely navigate her recovery while maintaining
    her sobriety.

    episodes of depression made it hard for him to interact with his peers. He also states that alcohol
    and cocaine are a natural part of his manic episodes. He also notes that coming off the cocaine
    and binge drinking contribute to low mood, but he has not responded well to referrals to AA and
    past inpatient stays have led to only temporary abstinence. Yet, Richard is now trying to forge a
    closer relationship with his adult children, and he says he is especially motivated to get a better
    handle on both his bipolar disorder and his substance use. He has been more compliant with his
    mood stabilizing and antidepressant medication, and his psychiatric provider would like his dual
    diagnoses addressed with psychotherapy.

    W4 Richard is Motivated

    After studying Module 4: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:

    Richard is a 62-year-old single man who says that his substance dependence and his bipolar
    disorder both emerged in his late teens. He says that he started to drink to “feel better” when his
    episodes of depression made it hard for him to interact with his peers. He also states that alcohol
    and cocaine are a natural part of his manic episodes. He also notes that coming off the cocaine
    and binge drinking contribute to low mood, but he has not responded well to referrals to AA and
    past inpatient stays have led to only temporary abstinence. Yet, Richard is now trying to forge a
    closer relationship with his adult children, and he says he is especially motivated to get a better
    handle on both his bipolar disorder and his substance use. He has been more compliant with his
    mood stabilizing and antidepressant medication, and his psychiatric provider would like his dual
    diagnoses addressed with psychotherapy.

    W5 Pretty Serious Partying

    After studying Module 5: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:

    Jackie is a 31-year-old pregnant patient (2nd child, two different fathers) single mother of a 6-
    year-old who is coming for prenatal care since she suspects she is pregnant. She is no longer with
    the father of Robby, her firstborn. She indicates "pretty serious partying" with the likely father of
    the baby. By pretty serious partying she means 10-12 drinks per occasion, one to two times per
    week, plus intermittent methamphetamine use.

    W6 Toneika

    After studying Module 6: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:

    Tomeika is a three-year-old girl. She was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
    (ASD).
    Tomeika is able to make many vocalizations and is able to say one recognizable word. Tomeika
    will say “juice”, which she pronounces as “oos.” Throughout the day, Tomeika cries and falls to
    the floor to gain access to food, obtain a favorite toy, or when she wants to be picked up. Her
    parents, Mr. and Mrs. Williams, would like for Tomeika to communicate her desires with words,
    but do not know how to help her. Tomeika recently began attending an early childhood special
    education classroom for learners with ASD in the County Public School System for six hours a
    day, four days a week. On Wednesdays, Tomeika and her peers do not go to school. Instead, on
    this day, Tomeika’s interventionist, Mrs. Dell, has parent conferences in her students’ homes.

    [https://stu.instructure.com/courses/50346/pages/module-5-lecture-materials-and-resources](https://stu.instructure.com/courses/50346/pages/module-5-lecture-materials-and-resources)

    During the conferences, Mrs. Dell discusses educational programming, learner progress, areas of
    concern, and also provides training to parents.

    W7 Hip Fracture

    After studying Module 7: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:

    The patient is a 71-year-old widowed man who is seen regularly in the clinic for health
    maintenance and follow-up of his chronic insomnia and anxiety. He has regular prescriptions for
    triazolam (Halcion) and clonazepam (Klonopin) for these problems. Recently he has been
    reporting frequent episodes of losing his balance and falling, and eight weeks ago was
    hospitalized for a hip fracture sustained during one of these falls resulting in hip surgery. On this
    visit, he also complains of becoming increasingly confused.
