Assessing Clients With Addictive Disorders Homework 3Assessing Clients With Addictive
Disorders Homework 3Addictive disorders can be particularly challenging for clients. Not
only do these disorders typically interfere with a client’s ability to function in daily life, but
they also often manifest as negative and sometimes criminal behaviors. Sometime clients
with addictive disorders also suffer from other mental health issues, creating even greater
struggles for them to overcome. In your role, you have the opportunity to help clients
address their addictions and improve outcomes for both the clients and their families. For
this Assignment, as you examine the Levy Family video in this week’s Learning Resources,
consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with addiction. N: B EACH OF
