You are a counselor at an alcohol and drug treatment facility. You are responsible for developing a treatment plan for a 21-year-old male who suffers from alcohol addiction.

For this assignment, answer the following questions:

• What aspect of developing a treatment plan do you think is most critical to the success of the client?
• How do you get the clients from treatment to ongoing stabilization of care? For example, do they all need to follow all of the steps from inpatient to aftercare, or can a client come in somewhere in the middle and still move forward and be successful?
• What steps might you take to increase the client's potential for success?
