Comprehensive
Assessment: This paper will consist of a comprehensive substance use
assessment. Although this shares similarities with a standard biopsychosocial
assessment, a comprehensive substance use assessment includes extensive history
related to substance use. Integrate a theoretical formulation, including your
assessment of the client’s stage of change, DSM-5 diagnosis (with
justification), risk and protective factors, strengths, and obstacles. Present
your recommendations for a level of care per ASAM, including clear rationale.
Based on your analysis of available literature, describe your recommendations
for specific interventions with the client (and family, if appropriate) and
your rationale. Please identify the ethical dilemma(s) that might arise in your
work with this client. Draw on literature (at least 6
references out of which 2 from the course and 4 from outside) from the course
