Treatment Plans

Case Vignette One:
Tony is a 20-year-old male who is brought by his wife to the emergency room for evaluation. According to the wife, Tony had been very agitated for the past
few hours. She suspects he is using drugs and reports that he has spent all of their savings. She also states that his behavior has changed over the last four
months; he is frequently absent from home and has been taking money from her wallet. Tony’s vital signs show mild blood pressure elevation (150/95) and a
slight fever (100.3F). On examination, Tony is quite anxious, has a gross tremor, is pacing the floor and sweating, and complains of severe muscle pain. His
pupils are enlarged (mydriasis), and he has rhinorrhea (runny nose). HE is anxious to leave and keeps saying, “I’ll be O.K. Just let me out of here.” He denies
regular substance use, but states that he has tried marijuana, cocaine, and heroine. The physical exam reveals recent needle marks on both arms. Toxic
screen is positive for opiates.
Case Vignette Two:
Shilo is a 23-year-old single white male and a recent college graduate. He states that he almost did not graduate from college due to low grades and that he
has been unable to find a job. He currently lives with his parents. He was referred for an assessment by his probation officer after being repeatedly arrested
for public drunkenness and being combative with police on his last arrest. He states that he is usually very friendly, but that he didn’t feel fairly treated by the
officer. Upon further questioning you find that he really has very little memory of the entire evening. His self-proclaimed substance use history includes use of
amphetamines which he took to study for exams and occasional use of cocaine and hallucinogens on the weekend for recreation. Information provided by
his parents indicates that he has not looked for a job for six months and that he spends his time in his room or with a few friends “down the street.” They
have bailed him out of jail several times, but now realize that he may have some type of problem. Toxicology report indicates the presence of cocaine,
marijuana, and PCP.
