This paper is to be 8–10 pages (not including abstract, title page, and reference page). It must be in APA format including in-text citations and references. You must have at least 10 sources, three of which may be books, but the rest must be journal articles that date back no further than 10 years. This assignment must be submitted no later than 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 7.

Choose a drug, alcohol, or sexual addiction to focus on throughout the paper. Your paper will have two distinct sections. The sections are as follows: Overview and Recovery Plan; under Recovery Plan, your sub-headings will be: Logistics, Treatment Plan, and Issues in Treatment.

1.) Overview

In the overview section you will want to discuss several components. First, discuss the symptoms and characteristics of the addiction. Explain the etiology and genetic factors that may be involved. Note what usually happens during withdrawal and what medications may be used in coping with withdrawal. Also, be sure to discuss the statistics of this particular addiction. How much does it cost the U.S. every year? What are the statistics of the different ethnicities struggling with this addiction, etc.?

2.) Recovery Plan

Logistics

In this section, you will organize a treatment plan for the addiction in either a group or an individual counseling setting. Be sure to discuss your target population (i.e. adolescent boys). Discuss where these sessions will take place (i.e. church, hospital). Also, explain which model you will be using (i.e. medical disease model, see Presentation: Models of Treatment – 401). Summarize the model and explain how you will integrate it. Additionally, describe who will be involved in the process (i.e. family, pastor, etc.). Will it be distinctively Christian or distinctively secular?

Treatment Plan

Explain how many sessions your treatment plan will consist of. Then, in detail, discuss the process of how each stage and phase will progress. What treatments and interventions will you be using? Be sure to have research backing your interventions at each stage. For example, if you will use intakes in your first session, what intakes will you use?

Issues in Treatment

Conclude by discussing different obstacles you will face in implementing this recovery plan. What are some ethical issues you will need to be aware of and prepare for? How will you screen for, address, and work with issues of co-morbidity? What co-morbidities are you likely to find with this specific population? Lastly, address any other issues linked to this particular population.
