INSTRUCTIONS:
This test will stress critical thinking skills. For some questions there may be multiple “right” answers that are all reasonable if grounded in the course reading and lecture material. Grading will focus on both your ability to manipulate and apply the content that you learned in the readings.Questions have different point totals for a reason. Although this is not a failsafe prescription, I think that 10 point questions could be answered in a few paragraphs (<= one page), and that the two 30 point questions may take up to two pages of text for your responses to be well- developed. Writing this much, however, is no guarantee that you will get full points if there is a lot of filler content. It is important that your responses have high quality content, as evidenced by your knowledge of the subject and critical appraisal of the content.you will need to use the attached mock case (Preston). This is a case Dr. Smith developed for training in an MI intervention.ASAM lecture 1 https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_9bclmnhoASAM lecture 2 https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_cx05taahASAM lecture 3 https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_pxlzl6i9Questions to be answered:Note that your treatment options in yourcommunity for both outpatient and intensive outpatient mainly involve generic group therapythat focus on processes of addiction and recovery that are common to all people sufferingsubstance use disorders.
