Description
Students are required to consider an individual on their Alcohol and Other Drug use (AOD) treatment trajectory.
Case study: Watch ‘Addicted Australia’ episode one on SBS, based on six-month treatment program for individuals living with a substance use disorder. Choose either Ruben or Sarah to focus your case study on.
You are required to consider the person holistically and consider the multi-factorial determinants of health, their readiness for change, recommend appropriate brief interventions and critically evaluate any relevant pharmacotherapies used in the treatment of their substance use disorder.

Readiness for change and brief interventions (approx. 500 words): Identify the stage of change that best represents the person in their process of change and describe a brief intervention that may support the person during the process of change. Reference must be made to the Stages of Change model.
