Topic 8 DQ 1 (Obj. 8.2) Inpatient Interventions In the inpatient environment, it is crucial for Mary to receive effective treatment interventions that target her Alcohol Use Disorder, Opiate Use Disorder, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). This can be achieved by emphasizing emotional regulation, managing her surroundings, and correcting irrational thoughts. A beneficial method to consider is the use of Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBIs), which have demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing emotional regulation and alleviating anxiety, especially for those dealing with substance use disorders (Flix-Junior et al., 2022). MBIs can aid Mary in becoming more conscious of her emotional triggers, allowing her to respond thoughtfully rather than impulsively, and giving her the tools to effectively manage cravings and anxiety. In addition, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be applied to challenge and reformulate Mary's irrational thoughts about substance use and anxiety by recognizing and modifying the negative thought patterns that contribute to her struggles (Capuzzi & Stauffer, 2024). The structured and supportive nature of inpatient care creates an ideal environment for these intensive interventions. Outpatient Interventions As Mary moves into intensive outpatient care (Level II.I), it is essential to ensure continuity of care. Outpatient interventions should still emphasize skill-building and preventing relapse. Programs that encourage self-management of the consequences of addiction are especially beneficial in outpatient environments (Seabra et al., 2024). For Mary, this could involve continued CBT sessions to strengthen the cognitive restructuring efforts initiated during inpatient care, concentrating on recognizing environmental triggers and creating coping strategies. Additionally, incorporating group therapy can provide a support network to discuss challenges and successes in managing addiction and anxiety outside of a controlled environment. Psychoeducational components can empower Mary with knowledge about her disorders, thereby fostering a proactive approach to recovery. It is essential to adapt interventions to Mary's progress and unique needs, ensuring she remains supported throughout her recovery journey.

CLASSMATE 2

You provided a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to Mary's care, emphasizing both emotional and cognitive aspects in inpatient treatment and ensuring that support continues into outpatient care. I especially appreciate your inclusion of Mindfulness-Based Interventions, as they are often underutilized despite strong evidence showing their ability to help clients develop awareness of emotional triggers and reduce anxiety. Pairing MBIs with CBT offers Mary both present-moment tools and long-term cognitive restructuring, which can strengthen her ability to manage symptoms across different settings.

Your transition to outpatient care also stood out. Highlighting structured self-management programs and the importance of peer support through group therapy reinforces the idea that recovery doesn't end at discharge but it evolves with the individual. Includingpsychoeducation empowers Mary to become an active participant in her recovery, helping her develop confidence and autonomy, which are crucial for long-term sobriety.

How might you tailor these interventions further if Mary were facing housing instability or lacked a strong social support system post-discharge?
