John, White male, 46, heterosexual, married to his wife Jane of 10 years, got referred to you for a drug and alcohol assessment because he wrecked his car while drunk and high on THC. In order to avoid jail time, he has agreed to get a D/A assessment and will follow the recommendations. First as the assessor you need to ID his S&Ns.

He admits at 16 also trying Cocaine and stealing OxyContin. He doesn't used cocaine in 5 years, but still uses oxytocin because he had an accident at work at a tow motor operator when he fell off his tow motor while in motor and got his foot crushed.

He claims in his free time he likes to 'chill' and watch TV. He doesn't really have friends to socialize with as he is a homebody. He hates that his wife complains about his drinking and THC usage. One day two years ago he said he had to 'hit her' shut her up and his usage but she does care about him. He was arrested and spent the weekend in jail and was convicted of D/V but got probation but finished that last year. He is now depressed that this drinking/being high while driving will cost his more money that he doesn't have because he is on leave from work.
