Case scenario
Hori.
Meet Hori
Hori is a 60-year-old male of Polynesian decent. He is married and the father of three adult children who all live on their own. Hori worked at a
food processing plant for 20 years and advanced into a supervisory role until the company relocated a year ago leaving him unemployed for over 6 months. Hori is proud that he supported his family and created a home where his children were able to grow up and enjoy a good
education. Unfortunately, he saved little for his own retirement and has not told his wife that their meager savings will soon be depleted. Hori
recently found a position working in a recycling facility, but it pays only a fraction of what his previous position did. Hori is anguished as to how he will support his wife, and his mother who came to live with them from Fiji.
Hori often has a few drinks as he pays the bills late at night.
The Bills are Piling Up
Hori often pays bills after his wife and mother go to bed at night. He doesn’t want them to worry so he spends time carefully calculating the minimum payment for each creditor and noting on a calendar how late the payment can be mailed. His concentration has been rather poor so this takes him longer than usual. In spite of his efforts, some creditors have begun to call the house when the payments were late. His spirits have been steadily sinking as the reality of their finances broke his more characteristic optimism. He tells his family he is simply tired from the physical demands of this new job when they comment on how tired he looks, but this is only partly true. Lately, he has begun to drink as he pays the bills at night to help ease his mind. He has trouble sleeping so he reasons that maybe a drink or two may help him unwind. As he drinks, the reality of the bills do not go away so he drinks a little more. This pattern has developed into a nearly nightly cycle of looking at the bills and drinking as he makes little progress toward a solution. His situation is appearing increasingly hopeless. His life insurance policy is one bill he makes certain to pay. It may be his final option.
Hori. Hori’s supervisor.
Trouble at Work
In the past month, Hori has found it difficult to get up in the morning for work due to his late nights with the bills. He has been late to work three times and the last time, his supervisor smelled alcohol. He confronted Hori. Hori told him that he simply had grabbed the wrong shirt in the morning by accident. Perhaps, he spilled a little something on the shirt the last time he wore it. Hori’s supervisor shared how he had tried to cover his own drinking years ago and offered Hori the chance to save his job if he agreed to follow the company’s referral process as part of Employee Assistance Plan. Feeling cornered, Hori agreed.
Imagine that you are the counselor with whom Hori is meeting. Use the ASAM criteria and your course readings to address the following
questions.
How would you assess Hori’s potential for withdrawal? Do you have enough information to make a referral for detox services? What additional information is needed?
(Maximum 2500 characters)
What medical and mental health conditions and complications need to be considered in Hori’s case? What questions would you like to ask of Hori or his family?
(Maximum 2500 characters)
How does Hori’s readiness to change affect the recommendations you will be making for level of care? How would you assess Hori’s readiness to change? What additional questions might provide more information?
(Maximum 2500 characters)
Based upon the information you’ve begun to outline and Hori’s potential support system in a recovery environment, which levels of care can be eliminated as inappropriate based upon what you already know?
